Console Dispatcher

A Redux store enhancer

The console dispatcher is a Redux store enhancer which provides access to the Redux store from the developer console when running in a browser environment. This can be used for debugging and interactive design. The expected store properties and methods are directly available at the top level. Additionally, actionTypes are available at the top level.

Functionality

Redux methods

The four primary methods that Redux stores provide are all available at the root level.

• dispatch()
• getState()
• replaceReducer()
• subscribe()

An alias to getState() has been provided for terseness in the console: state. state is a defined property with a getter which calls getState() and thus can be directly substituted.

// these two are equivalent from within the console
getState().ui.selectedSiteId;
state.ui.selectedSiteId;

// dispatch an action
// actionTypes are available on the console
dispatch( { type: actionTypes.USER_SETTINGS_REQUEST } );
