Avoid selector factories

This example shows how re-reselect would solve the scenario described in the Reselect docs: how to share a selector across multiple components while passing in props and retaining memoization?

Using re-reselect you can directly declare a getVisibleTodos selector. Since re-reselect handles selectors instantiation transparently, there is no need to declare a makeGetVisibleTodos factory.

selectors/todoSelectors.js

import { createCachedSelector } from 're-reselect';

const getVisibilityFilter = (state, props) =>
  state.todoLists[props.listId].visibilityFilter;

const getTodos = (state, props) => state.todoLists[props.listId].todos;

const getVisibleTodos = createCachedSelector(
  [getVisibilityFilter, getTodos],
  (visibilityFilter, todos) => {
    switch (visibilityFilter) {
      case 'SHOW_COMPLETED':
        return todos.filter(todo => todo.completed);
      case 'SHOW_ACTIVE':
        return todos.filter(todo => !todo.completed);
      default:
        return todos;
    }
  }
)(
  /*
   * Re-reselect resolver function.
   * Cache/call a new selector for each different "listId"
   */
  (state, props) => props.listId
);

export default getVisibleTodos;

containers/VisibleTodoList.js

import {connect} from 'react-redux';
import {toggleTodo} from '../actions';
import TodoList from '../components/TodoList';
import {getVisibleTodos} from '../selectors';

// No need for makeMapStateToProps function:
// use getVisibleTodos as a normal selector
const mapStateToProps = (state, props) => {
  return {
    todos: getVisibleTodos(state, props),
  };
};
