This example has two pages. The first page has a counter which can be incremented synchronously or asynchronously. The second page is a page which shows a list of github users. It fetches data from the github api using this endpoint.
Since rematch is utility which uses redux under the hood, some elements like store.js
and withRematch
are very similar to the with-redux
example. Please go through the with-redux
example here before reading further if you are not familiar with how redux is integrated with nextjs. Rematch is just an extension for Redux so a lot of elements are the same.
Directory structure
Besides the pages
directory, there is a directory called shared which holds all of the code belonging to rematch. Rematch
has a lot lesser boilerplate than Redux
because it is able to put actions(including async actions), models and reducers together. Hence, a models
directory is present, which contains the logic for counter
and github
users.
Some features of this example are :
- Pages are connected to rematch using
withRematch
util. These pages are capable of accessing values from the store and dispatching changes - Components are inside the
shared/components
folder. Thecounter-display
component is connected to the store using theconnect
function to show how components which are not pages, can connect with Rematch. - The file
shared/store
exports an initStore function which is used bywithRematch
to create store universally on the server and on the client.
