I have an issue where re-rendering of state causes ui issues and was suggested to only update specific value inside my reducer to reduce amount of re-rendering on a page.
In my case I did something like this, based on Luis's answer:
...State object...
userInfo = {
name: '...',
...
}
...Reducer's code...
case CHANGED_INFO:
return {
...state,
userInfo: {
...state.userInfo,
// I'm sending the arguments like this: changeInfo({ id: e.target.id, value: e.target.value }) and use them as below in reducer!
[action.data.id]: action.data.value,
},
};
This is how I did it for one of my projects:
const markdownSaveActionCreator = (newMarkdownLocation, newMarkdownToSave) => ({
type: MARKDOWN_SAVE,
saveLocation: newMarkdownLocation,
savedMarkdownInLocation: newMarkdownToSave
});
const markdownSaveReducer = (state = MARKDOWN_SAVED_ARRAY_DEFAULT, action) => {
let objTemp = {
saveLocation: action.saveLocation,
savedMarkdownInLocation: action.savedMarkdownInLocation
};
switch(action.type) {
case MARKDOWN_SAVE:
return(
state.map(i => {
if (i.saveLocation === objTemp.saveLocation) {
return Object.assign({}, i, objTemp);
}
return i;
})
);
default:
return state;
}
};
