redux-requests is a small Redux middleware and reducer I wrote to help avoid the problem of issuing duplicate HTTP requests.
Inspiration
I was inspired by using Marty's fetch API (in that it avoids duplicate HTTP requests), although I was not very satisfied with Marty's approach. Mainly: the Marty fetch API conflates to separate issues:
Mart's fetch API uses the "
id
" to avoid duplicate requests (similar to the "meta.httpRequest.url
" here), but it also has all thatlocally()
remotely()
stuff to try and manage the local cache, and unfortunately does not give a lot of control over invalidating the cache.Why add it to the Ecosystem section?
I want this library to be very simple, and do one thing and one thing well (local cache management should be left up to the developer). And I think managing HTTP requests is a very common requirement for Redux developers.
