adding custom methods

[jasonvillalon]

Hi,

can we add feature for adding custom methods that does not communicate with the server?

for example, right now. my work arround is to edit the feathers-redux and add something like this for me to achieve what i need.

custom/posts.js - for custom methods in post

import _ from 'lodash';

const SERVICES_POSTS_EDIT = 'SERVICES_POSTS_EDIT';
export default [
  {
    name: 'edit',
    createAction: () => id => ({ id }),
    reducer: { [SERVICES_POSTS_EDIT]: (state, action) => {
      const postIndex = _.findIndex(state.queryResult.data, { id: action.payload.id });
      const queryResult = state.queryResult;
      queryResult.data[postIndex].isEditing = true;
      return {
        ...state,
        queryResult,
      };
    },
    },
  },
];

then in when reduxifying the services i added the custom methods

import posts from './custom/posts.js';
export const feathersServices = reduxifyServices(app, mapServicePathsToNames, {}, {
  posts,
});

just to call something like this on my component

onEdit: (id) => {
    dispatch(feathersServices.posts.edit(id));
  },

maybe we can add some feature like this? not sure if good idea. but i think someone like me needed it.

Best Regards,

Thanks for bringing this up.

Like you, I'm not sure if this should coreside with the service actions & reducers. Perhaps this is a special case of interfacing custom services with Redux. The trick there would be to provide access to the service's state.

I'm tied up doing feathers-react docs ATM. Let me think on it.
