javascript - How to use Immutable.js with redux?

Question

Redux framework is using reducers to change app state in response to an action.

The key requirement is that a reducer cannot modify an existing state object; it must produce a new object.

Bad Example:

import {
    ACTIVATE_LOCATION
} from './actions';

export let ui = (state = [], action) => {
    switch (action.type) {
        case ACTIVATE_LOCATION:
            state.activeLocationId = action.id;
            break;
    }

    return state;
};

Good Example:

import {
    ACTIVATE_LOCATION
} from './actions';

export let ui = (state = [], action) => {
    switch (action.type) {
        case ACTIVATE_LOCATION:
            state = Object.assign({}, state, {
                activeLocationId: action.id
            });
            break;
    }

    return state;
};

This is a good use case for Immutable.js.

Answer 1

Taking your good example with Immutable

import {
    ACTIVATE_LOCATION
} from './actions';

import { Map } from 'immutable';

const initialState = Map({})

export let ui = (state = initialState, action) => {
  switch (action.type) {
    case ACTIVATE_LOCATION:
      return state.set('activeLocationId', action.id);
    default:
      return state;
  }
};
