What are some advanced usage patterns for redux-actions?

Redux-actions provides a way to create action creators and reducers with less boilerplate. Advanced usage includes using custom action types, combining multiple actions, and handling async actions with middleware.

Can you give me an example of combining multiple actions?

Sure! You can use createAction to define multiple actions and then use handleActions to handle them in a single reducer. For instance, you can create a fetchData action and a fetchDataSuccess action, and handle both in your reducer.

What about handling async actions?

For async actions, you can use middleware like redux-thunk or redux-saga. With redux-thunk, you can return a function from your action creator that dispatches actions based on the async operation's result.

Are there any best practices for using redux-actions?

Yes! Keep your action types consistent, use descriptive names, and try to keep your reducers pure and simple. Also, consider using selectors for accessing state.
