Breaking Changes

Removed this.dispatch from Actions commit.

Upgrade Guide
- Use the included codemod to convert your actions.
- You will need jscodeshift to run the codemod.
- npm install jscodeshift -g
- jscodeshift -t scripts/this-dispatch-to-return.js your_file.js
- I recommend you use some source control like git this way you can git diff your changes and make sure everything is ok.
- You can manually upgrade by removing this.dispatch from your actions and instead return your payload directly.
- If you have an async action then you can return a function.
```
// from this
class MyActions {
  someAction() {
    this.dispatch(13)
  }
}

// to this
class MyActions {
  someAction() {
    return 13
  }
}
```
or
```
// from this
class MyActions {
  asyncThings() {
    xhr('foo', () => {
      this.dispatch(42)
    })
  }
}

// to this
class MyActions {
  asyncThings() {
    return (dispatch) => {
      xhr('foo', () => {
        dispatch(42)
      })
    }
  }
}
```

0.17.2

Added

Expose a reduce function for every store by default. commit

If you're using reducers then this allows you to not ever use waitFor since you can just call store.reduce(store.getState(), payload) in order to derive data.
Allow values for store state. commit

this.state can now be any valid JS value rather than always being an object.
Add some reducer utils. commit

These reducer utils can be used for easily working with reducer only stores

0.17.1

Changed

0.17.0

Breaking Changes

Removed Symbol

Upgrade Guide
- Remove all references to Symbol, Symbol.keyFor, etc.
- Get access to the action's unique id via myAction.id
Removed getEventEmitter()

Upgrade Guide
- You can no longer access the internal event emitter to dispatch your own custom events. This is usually an anti-pattern.
- If you still need this behavior you can create your own event emitter in your store.

class TodoStore {
  constructor() {
    this.eventEmitter = new EventEmitter()

    this.exportPublicMethods({
      getEventEmitter: () => this.eventEmitter
    });
  }
}

Removed _storeName.

Upgrade Guide
- _storeName was an internal property to the store where the store's name was kept.
- You can now use displayName instead which is a public API.
Removed stateKey. commit

Upgrade Guide
- A stateKey property was configurable on stores as well as app level.
- This has now been removed.
- This key was mostly used so you can use the react-like API of this.state, now this is being supported first-class.

// old behavior
class MyStore {
  static config = { stateKey = 'state' }

  constructor() {
    this.state = {}
  }
}

Now you can just use this.state directly. If it exists it'll be picked up.

// old behavior
class MyStore {
  constructor() {
    this.state = {}
  }
}

The old behavior of assigning state directly as instance properties will continue to be supported. However, this new behavior will be favored in the docs.

Render.toString/toStaticMarkup now return an object rather than a string of html.

Note: Render API is still in flux

Upgrade Guide

// old
Render.toString(App, props).then(markup => console.log(markup))

// new
Render.toString(App, props).then(obj => console.log(obj.html))

Render.toDOM no longer locks by default.

Upgrade Guide
- Render.toDOM used to "lock" meaning it wouldn't perform the fetches on the client when it rendered.
- Now this is configurable and off by default in case you want to use Render to render client side only.

// old
Render.toDOM(App, props, document.getElementById('react-root'))

// new
// the `true` is to not fetch client side.
Render.toDOM(App, props, document.getElementById('react-root'), true)

Added

A sweet new DispatcherDebugger react component which lets you debug your flux application on the browser. commit
You may now return from actions directly in order to dispatch, no need to call this.dispatch.
connectToStores can now be used where you specify the methods at the callsite. commit
statics addon lets you add your static methods to components that have been connected. commit
TypeScript definitions!. commit

Changed

Made the promise resolution to then(success, failure) so errors will be properly rejected. commit

0.16.10

Added

componentDidConnect for connectToStores. Allows you to specify data fetching in there. commit
Hot reload of stores using webpack. commit

Changed

Reversed the then/catch in the promise resolution for data sources so the catch only handles data source failures. commit
Throw when passing undefined to store.unlisten. commit

0.16.9

Added

preventDefault to stop a store from emitting a change. commit
observe() a way for POJOs to observe for changes. commit
otherwise() listen to all dispatches that have not been bound in your stores. commit
reduce() listen to all dispatches in a store and return the new state. commit
output() transform the output that is emitted from the stores. commit
Proper server rendering resolving all data at the component level before rendering. commit
Batched dispatches to avoid having componentWillMount cause a cannot dispatch while dispatching error when it loses context. commit
Alt.debug for registering your alt instance with chrome dev tools. commit
Function utils for transforming store state. commit

0.16.7

Added

interceptResponse method to data sources commit

Fixes

Revert breaking change back to merge state. 0.17.0 will include bootstrap, recycle, and flush replace state instead of merge state. commit

Changed

local method in data source must return null or undefined to trigger remote commit

0.16.6

Fixes

Added

@decorate(alt) to decorate your store and activate all @bind and @expose methods. commit
getStores in conenctToStores decorator/wrapper function now receives props from a store. commit
Solving the async debate. commit

0.16.4

Added

@bind and @expose decorators for binding actions and exporting public methods. commit
Made the lifecycles eventemitters so you can bind multiple. commit

Fixes

Bug with react-native. Stop using the Object.assign polyfill since react-native overrides it with a non-spec compliant one. commit

0.16.3

Dependencies

Updates es-symbol.

0.16.2

Added

Now passing more information through the dispatch about the action invoked. commit

0.16.1

This release is a pretty big one and it also marks Alt's first breaking changes.

Breaking Changes

Upgrade guide is included with each bullet point.

New method signatures for createStore, createActions, etc. commit

Upgrade Guide
- Previously all constructors for stores and actions received the alt instance as its first argument.
- You now have to pass this in yourself.

// old behavior

class MyStore {
  constructor(alt) { }
}

// allows you to pass in your own arguments to the constructors

class MyStore {
  constructor(alt, one, two, three) { }
}

alt.createStore(MyStore, null, alt, 1, 2, 3)

beforeEach/afterEach methods have been moved to lifecycle. commit

Upgrade Guide
- Previously the beforeEach and afterEach methods existed as a prototype method on the store.
- Now they are lifecycle methods.

// the new way

class Store {
  constructor() {
    this.on('beforeEach', () => {
    });
  }
}

withAltContext is now in decorator form. commit

Upgrade Guide
- Previously withAltContext took two arguments. The flux and the component.
- Now it takes a single argument, flux. It returns a function which takes another argument, the component.
As a decorator:
```
@withAltContext(alt)
export default class App extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return <div>{this.context.flux}</div>
  }
}
```
As a function:
```
export default withAltContext(alt)(App);
```
Lifecycle method serialize and deserialize have been renamed and moved. commit

Upgrade Guide
- Rename serialize to onSerialize.
- Rename deserialize to onDeserialize.
- Move those methods to your Store's configuration.
```
// new hotness
class TodoStore {
  static config = {
    onSerialize() {
    },

    onDeserialize() {
    }
  }
}
```
atomicTransactions util has been renamed to just atomic. commit

Upgrade Guide
- Change all your import/require from alt/util/atomicTransactions to alt/util/atomic
Removed mixins from browser-with-addons. commit

Mixins are dead, all hail our new higher-order component overlords. Please use AltContainer instead: http://alt.js.org/docs/components/altContainer/

Method signature for beforeEach, afterEach, error lifecycle events have changed. commit

Upgrade Guide
- Previously the method signature looked like fn(actionName, data, state).
- Now it has been simplified to fn(payload, state) where payload is an object.
- The payload object contains keys action and data which contain the information from before.

class Store {
  constructor() {
    this.on('beforeEach', (payload, state) => {
      console.log(payload.data);
    });
  }
}

Added

Time Traveling! commit

@timetravel
class TodoStore { }

TodoStore.undo(3);
TodoStore.redo(1);

connectToStores function which also works with decorators. commit

@connectToStores
class TodoApp extends React.Component {
  static getStores() {
    return [TodoStoreStore]
  }
  static getPropsFromStores(props) {
    return TodoStore.getState()
  }
  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        {this.props.todos.map(todo => <Todo todo={todo} />}
      </div>
    )
  }
}

ImmutableJS support, in an addon as a decorator. commit

@immutable
class TodoStore {
  constructor() {
    this.state = Immutable.Map({})
  }
}

Use store references to take snapshots. commit

alt.takeSnapshot(TodoStore); // returns only TodoStore's snapshot

Use store references to recycle. commit

alt.recycle(TodoStore); // recycles only TodoStore

Simple decorators for creating stores and actions. commit

import { createStore } from 'alt/utils/decorators'

@createStore(alt)
export default class TodoStore {
  constructor() {
  }
}

Apply transforms at the app level to modify each store before it is created. commit

alt.stateTransforms.push(Store => {
  // make every store atomic
  return atomic(alt)(Store)
})

Add specific configuration to your stores, like how getState and setState behave. commit

class TodoStore {
  static config = {
    getState(state) {
      // adds a new todo every time you getState
      return states.todos.push({ 'Another todo!' });
    }
  }
}

Create your actions inside the constructor by using instance properties. commit

class FooActions {
  constructor() {
    this.myAction = function (x) {
      this.dispatch(x);
    };
  }
}

All actions created are now available in alt.actions. commit
inject prop to AltContainer. commit

// inject lets you inject arbitrary props to your children

<AltContainer inject={{ foo: 7, bar: 'hello' }}>
  <div />
</AltContainer>

// div gets prop foo=7 and bar='hello'

component prop to AltContainer. commit
alt has a prepare method which prepares a payload for bootstrapping. commit

// rather than rendering its children you can now pass in a component

<AltContainer component={MyComponent} />

// equivalent to

<AltContainer>
  <MyComponent />
</AltContainer>

Allow customizing where you assign your state as a key. commit

// if you yearn for a react-like API you can now has

const alt = new Alt({ stateKey: 'state' });

class Store {
  constructor() {
    this.state = {
      stateGoesHere: 1,
      yay: 2
    };

    this.nowItsPrivate = true;
  }
}

An ES5 guide now exists. commit
Customizable setState and getState. commit

// Customize the way getState and setState behave at the app level.

const alt = new Alt({
  getState(state) {
    // add fuzzlewuzzle to every state
    state.fuzzlewuzzle = true;
    return state;
  },

  setState(existingState, newState) {
    // forget existingState, in with the new out with the old
    return newState;
  }
});

0.14.2

Added

Browser builds for bower. commit

Changed

The store name generator is now more robust. commit

0.14.1

Dependencies

es-symbol has been updated to 1.1.1 commit

0.14.0

Changed

createStore no longer throws when it encounters a store with the same name. Instead if generates a new name for you and warns you in the console. If a store name is not specified due to using anonymous functions then a warning is also logged. commit

Dependencies

es-symbol has been updated to 1.1.0 for better IE8 compatibility. commit

0.13.11

Added

Added emitChange method. No more this.getInstance().emitChange, now you can just this.emitChange() from inside a store. commit
Added syntactic sugar for waitFor. waitFor now takes in a splat or array of stores or dispatch tokens. commit
The alt instance now gets passed to the store constructor as well as the actions constructor. commit
ActionListener is a util that allows you to listen in on specific actions. Now it's even more lightweight if you want to listen in on a specific action but don't want the weight of a store. This comes as a util meaning it doesn't increase the size of core alt. Use it if you need it. commit
