Redux
Implementing Redux with async/await introduced in Swift 5.5 has become very simple. From Xcode 13.2, Swift 5.5's new concurrency supports iOS 13. Therefore, the existing Redux package was newly implemented based on async/await.
Installation
Redux only support Swift Package Manager.
dependencies: [
.package(url: "https://github.com/ReactComponentKit/Redux.git", from: "1.2.1"),
]
Flow
The figure above shows the flow of Redux. There's a lot of content, but it's actually very concise. The store handles most of the flow. All the developer has to do is define State and Store and define the functions that perform Action and Mutation. Additionally, middleware-like jobs can be defined so that you can do the necessary tasks before or after Mutation occurs.
State
State can be defined as below.
struct Counter: State {
var count = 0
}
Note that State should comply with Equatable.
Store
When defining a store, a state is required. You can define the store as below.
struct Counter: State {
var count = 0
}
class CounterStore: Store<Counter> {
init() {
super.init(state: Counter())
}
}
The store provides the following methods.
- commit(mutation:, payload:)
- dispatch(action:, payload:) async
- dispatch(action:, payload:)
When creating a custom store, the method mainly used will be commit(mutation:, payload:). dispatch(action:, payload:) is very rarely used.
Mutation
Mutation is defined as a store method. The Mutation method is a sync method.
// mutation
private func increment(counter: inout Counter, payload: Int) {
counter.count += payload
}
private func decrement(counter: inout Counter, payload: Int) {
counter.count -= payload
}
Action
Action is also defined by the store's method. There is no need to create a separate custom data type for action anymore. Since Action is defined as a store method, there are very few cases where the store's dispatch method is actually used.
Action can be defined by dividing it into Sync Action or Async Action. Since the state change occurs in the commit, there is no need to define additional middleware for asynchronous processing. You can complete asynchronous processing in the async action and then commit the changes.
// actions
func incrementAction(payload: Int) {
self.commit(mutation: increment, payload: payload)
}
func decrementAction(payload: Int) {
self.commit(mutation: decrement, payload: payload)
}
func asyncIncrementAction(payload: Int) async {
await Task.sleep(1 * 1_000_000_000)
self.commit(mutation: increment, payload: payload)
}
func asyncDecrementAction(payload: Int) async {
await Task.sleep(1 * 1_000_000_000)
self.commit(mutation: decrement, payload: payload)
}
Also, You can use simplified commit method to define action or mutate state.
func asyncIncrementAction(payload: Int) async {
await Task.sleep(1 * 1_000_000_000)
self.commit { mutableState in
mutableState.count += 1
}
}
Store's commit method is public so you can use it on the UI layer.
Button(action: { store.counter.commit { $0.count += 1 }) {
Text(" + ")
.font(.title)
.bold()
}
or use store's action method.
Button(action: { store.counter.incrementAction(payload: 1) }) {
Text(" + ")
.font(.title)
.bold()
}
Computed
Define the properties to connect to View. The store does not publish the state. Therefore, in order to publish a specific property of the state, a value can be injected into the property in the computed step.
class CounterStore: Store<Counter> {
init() {
super.init(state: Counter())
}
// computed
@Published
var count = 0
override func computed(new: Counter, old: Counter) {
self.count = new.count
}
...
}
CounterStore
The entire code of CounterStore defined so far is as follows.
import Foundation
import Redux
struct Counter: State {
var count = 0
}
class CounterStore: Store<Counter> {
init() {
super.init(state: Counter())
}
// computed
@Published
var count = 0
override func computed(new: Counter, old: Counter) {
self.count = new.count
}
// mutation
private func increment(counter: inout Counter, payload: Int) {
counter.count += payload
}
private func decrement(counter: inout Counter, payload: Int) {
counter.count -= payload
}
// actions
func incrementAction(payload: Int) {
self.commit(mutation: increment, payload: payload)
}
func decrementAction(payload: Int) {
self.commit(mutation: decrement, payload: payload)
}
func asyncIncrementAction(payload: Int) async {
await Task.sleep(1 * 1_000_000_000)
self.commit(mutation: increment, payload: payload)
}
func asyncDecrementAction(payload: Int) async {
await Task.sleep(1 * 1_000_000_000)
self.commit(mutation: decrement, payload: payload)
}
}
Middlewares
You can optionally add middlewares. Middleware is a collection of functions called before or after all Mutations.
You can optionally add Middleware. Middleware is a collection of sync functions called before and after all mutations are commited. For example, you can define middleware that print logs to debug state changes.
class WorksBeforeCommitStore: Store<ReduxState> {
init() {
super.init(state: ReduxState())
}
override func worksBeforeCommit() -> [(ReduxState) -> Void] {
return [
{ (state) in
print(state.count)
}
]
}
}
class WorksAfterCommitStore: Store<ReduxState> {
init() {
super.init(state: ReduxState())
}
override func worksAfterCommit() -> [(ReduxState) -> Void] {
return [
{ (state) in
print(state.count)
}
]
}
}
UnitTest
It is very easy to test the CounterStore defined above.
import XCTest
@testable import Redux
final class CounterStoreTests: XCTestCase {
private var store: CounterStore!
override func setUp() {
super.setUp()
store = CounterStore()
}
override func tearDown() {
super.tearDown()
store = nil
}
func testInitialState() {
XCTAssertEqual(0, store.state.count)
}
func testIncrementAction() {
store.incrementAction(payload: 1)
XCTAssertEqual(1, store.state.count)
store.incrementAction(payload: 10)
XCTAssertEqual(11, store.state.count)
}
func testPublisherValue() {
XCTAssertEqual(0, store.count)
store.incrementAction(payload: 1)
XCTAssertEqual(1, store.count)
store.incrementAction(payload: 10)
XCTAssertEqual(11, store.count)
store.decrementAction(payload: 10)
XCTAssertEqual(1, store.count)
store.decrementAction(payload: 1)
XCTAssertEqual(0, store.count)
}
func testAsyncIncrementAction() async {
await store.asyncIncrementAction(payload: 1)
XCTAssertEqual(1, store.state.count)
XCTAssertEqual(1, store.count)
await store.asyncIncrementAction(payload: 10)
XCTAssertEqual(11, store.state.count)
XCTAssertEqual(11, store.count)
}
func testAsyncDecrementAction() async {
await store.asyncDecrementAction(payload: 1)
XCTAssertEqual(-1, store.state.count)
XCTAssertEqual(-1, store.count)
await store.asyncDecrementAction(payload: 10)
XCTAssertEqual(-11, store.state.count)
XCTAssertEqual(-11, store.count)
}
}
UserStore
Let's define a store that uses API(https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com).
import Foundation
import Redux
struct User: Equatable, Codable {
let id: Int
var name: String
}
struct UserState: State {
var users: [User] = []
}
class UserStore: Store<UserState> {
init() {
super.init(state: UserState())
}
// mutations
private func SET_USERS(userState: inout UserState, payload: [User]) {
userState.users = payload
}
private func SET_USER(userState: inout UserState, payload: User) {
let index = userState.users.firstIndex { it in
it.id == payload.id
}
if let index = index {
userState.users[index] = payload
}
}
// actions
func loadUsers() async {
do {
let (data, _) = try await URLSession.shared.data(from: URL(string: "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users/")!)
let users = try JSONDecoder().decode([User].self, from: data)
commit(mutation: SET_USERS, payload: users)
} catch {
print(#function, error)
commit(mutation: SET_USERS, payload: [])
}
}
func update(user: User) async throws {
let params = try JSONEncoder().encode(user)
var request = URLRequest(url: URL(string: "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users/\(user.id)")!)
request.httpMethod = "PUT"
request.httpBody = params
request.addValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
request.addValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Accept")
let (data, _) = try await URLSession.shared.data(for: request)
let user = try JSONDecoder().decode(User.self, from: data)
commit(mutation: SET_USER, payload: user)
}
}
You can test the above UserStore as follows.
import XCTest
@testable import Redux
final class UserStoreTests: XCTestCase {
private var store: UserStore!
override func setUp() {
super.setUp()
store = UserStore()
}
override func tearDown() {
super.tearDown()
store = nil
}
func testInitialState() {
XCTAssertEqual([], store.state.users)
}
func testLoadUsers() async {
await store.loadUsers()
XCTAssertEqual(10, store.state.users.count)
for user in store.state.users {
XCTAssertGreaterThan(user.id, 0)
XCTAssertNotEqual(user.name, "")
}
}
func testUpdateUser() async {
do {
await store.loadUsers()
XCTAssertEqual(10, store.state.users.count)
var mutableUser = store.state.users[0]
mutableUser.name = "Sungcheol Kim"
try await store.update(user: mutableUser)
XCTAssertEqual(10, store.state.users.count)
let user = store.state.users[0]
XCTAssertEqual("Sungcheol Kim", user.name)
} catch {
XCTFail("Failed update user")
}
}
}
Store Composition
It is necessary to manage the app status in one place with Single Source of Truth. In that case, it is dangerous to define all states of the app in one state. Therefore, it is recommended to divide the state into modules and create and manage a store that manages each state. You can define the App Store as below.
import Foundation
import Redux
struct AppState: State {
}
class AppStore: Store<AppState> {
// composition store
let counter = CounterStore()
let users = UserStore()
init() {
super.init(state: AppState())
}
}
You can use the AppStore above as follows.
import XCTest
@testable import Redux
// Single Source of Truth
final class SSOTTests: XCTestCase {
private var store: AppStore!
override func setUp() {
super.setUp()
store = AppStore()
}
override func tearDown() {
super.tearDown()
store = nil
}
func testLoadUsers() async {
await store.users.loadUsers()
XCTAssertEqual(10, store.users.state.users.count)
for user in store.users.state.users {
XCTAssertGreaterThan(user.id, 0)
XCTAssertNotEqual(user.name, "")
}
}
func testUpdateUser() async {
do {
await store.users.loadUsers()
XCTAssertEqual(10, store.users.state.users.count)
var mutableUser = store.users.state.users[0]
mutableUser.name = "Sungcheol Kim"
try await store.users.update(user: mutableUser)
XCTAssertEqual(10, store.users.state.users.count)
let user = store.users.state.users[0]
XCTAssertEqual("Sungcheol Kim", user.name)
} catch {
XCTFail("Failed update user")
}
}
func testIncrementAction() {
store.counter.incrementAction(payload: 1)
XCTAssertEqual(1, store.counter.state.count)
store.counter.incrementAction(payload: 10)
XCTAssertEqual(11, store.counter.state.count)
}
func testPublisherValue() {
XCTAssertEqual(0, store.counter.count)
store.counter.incrementAction(payload: 1)
XCTAssertEqual(1, store.counter.count)
store.counter.incrementAction(payload: 10)
XCTAssertEqual(11, store.counter.count)
store.counter.decrementAction(payload: 10)
XCTAssertEqual(1, store.counter.count)
store.counter.decrementAction(payload: 1)
XCTAssertEqual(0, store.counter.count)
}
func testAsyncIncrementAction() async {
await store.counter.asyncIncrementAction(payload: 1)
XCTAssertEqual(1, store.counter.state.count)
XCTAssertEqual(1, store.counter.count)
await store.counter.asyncIncrementAction(payload: 10)
XCTAssertEqual(11, store.counter.state.count)
XCTAssertEqual(11, store.counter.count)
}
func testAsyncDecrementAction() async {
await store.counter.asyncDecrementAction(payload: 1)
XCTAssertEqual(-1, store.counter.state.count)
XCTAssertEqual(-1, store.counter.count)
await store.counter.asyncDecrementAction(payload: 10)
XCTAssertEqual(-11, store.counter.state.count)
XCTAssertEqual(-11, store.counter.count)
}
}
Example Of Store Composition
We can define the AppStore like as below but it is not a good design. If you add more state to the AppState, the AppStore becomes more massive store.
struct AppState: State {
var count: Int = 0
var content: String? = nil
var error: String? = nil
}
class AppStore: Store<AppState> {
init() {
super.init(state: AppState())
}
@Published
var count: Int = 0
@Published
var content: String? = nil
@Published
var error: String? = nil
override func computed(new: AppState, old: AppState) {
if (self.count != new.count) {
self.count = new.count
}
if (self.content != new.content) {
self.content = new.content
}
if (self.error != new.error) {
self.error = new.error
}
}
override func worksAfterCommit() -> [(AppState) -> Void] {
return [ { state in
print(state.count)
}]
}
private func INCREMENT(state: inout AppState, payload: Int) {
state.count += payload
}
private func DECREMENT(state: inout AppState, payload: Int) {
state.count -= payload
}
private func SET_CONTENT(state: inout AppState, payload: String) {
state.content = payload
}
private func SET_ERROR(state: inout AppState, payload: String?) {
state.error = payload
}
func incrementAction(payload: Int) {
commit(mutation: INCREMENT, payload: payload)
}
func decrementAction(payload: Int) {
commit(mutation: DECREMENT, payload: payload)
}
func fetchContent() async {
do {
let (data, _) = try await URLSession.shared.data(from: URL(string: "https://www.facebook.com")!)
let value = String(data: data, encoding: .utf8) ?? ""
commit(mutation: SET_ERROR, payload: nil)
commit(mutation: SET_CONTENT, payload: value)
} catch {
commit(mutation: SET_ERROR, payload: error.localizedDescription)
}
}
}
It is a good practice to break the state into small pieces and then compose them to one store.
