I have a reducer whereby I am retuning the appropriate state when an action is dispatched. Now I am calling an API at regular intervals so the result will trigger an action again and again. So what I want is that if the reducer state already has data then another reducer doesn't show the state as loading while the call is sent. It must maintain its loading state when receiving data the first time only. I hope I am able to explain it properly
Here are my code snippets
Loading state reducer
const loading = (state = false, action) => {
switch (action.type) {
case 'GET_AUDIT_DATA': // here I want to return true only when there is no data available
return true
case 'GET_AUDIT_DATA_RECEIVED':
return false
case 'GET_AUDIT_DATA_ERROR':
return false
default:
return state
}
}
Combining reducers
const allReducers = combineReducers({
auditData: AuditData,
auditLoading: AuditLoading,
modifiedOrders: ModifiedOrders
});
export default allReducers;
Reducer returning data on action triggered by superagent
const auditData = (state = [], action) => {
switch(action.type) {
case 'GET_AUDIT_DATA_RECEIVED':
console.log(action.data);
return action.data;
case 'GET_AUDIT_DATA_ERROR':
return action.err;
default :
return state;
}
}
export default auditData;
So initially the auditData
doesn't contain any data, only after the first success call it returns the data. When this is called at the same time loading state reducer
is called and it should return true in GET_AUDIT_DATA
action only when the audit data reducer doesn't contain any data.
Also is returning just the current obtained data from auditData
the right way to go or I should do it differently. Basically I want to overwrite
the current data
with the new one
.
