如何使用 ReSwift 组织上传/下载方法的动作状态流

Question

I'm building application using Redux architecture with ReSwift framework, most of applications processes described by action - reducer - state flow. Now I have added two methods upload(image: UIImage, fileName: String) and download(fileName: String), which uploading and downloading images to Firebase storage. So, how I can describe theses methods using Redux flow? Well, I know how I can run downloading/uploading processes using middleware, but how I can get results of download/upload in store subscribers?

You can create actions that will either hold the results or an error like this:

struct ImageDownloadStartAction: Action {
    let filename: String
}

struct ImageDownloadSuccessAction: Action {
    let data: Data
}

struct ImageDownloadFailureAction: Action {
    let error: Error
}


struct ImageUploadStartAction: Action {
    let image: UIImage
    let filename: String
}

struct ImageUploadSuccessAction: Action { }

struct ImageUploadFailureAction: Action {
    let error: Error
}

Then in your completionHandler or done block, you can use the dispatch function passed to the middleware to dispatch the success/failure action on the main thread (for example, DispatchQueue.main.async ) and use the value or error in your reducer.

For example (using PromiseKit ):

let networkMiddleware: Middleware<AppState> = { dispatch, getState in
    return { next in
        return { action in
            next(action)

            switch action {
            case let action as ImageDownloadStartAction:
                networkService.download(filename: action.filename)
                .done { // automatically called on main thread in PromiseKit
                    dispatch(ImageDownloadSuccessAction(data: $0)
                }
                .catch { // automatically called on main thread in PromiseKit
                    dispatch(ImageDownloadFailureAction(error: $0)
                }

            default:
                break
            }
        }
    }
