bindActionCreators, @connect in React-Redux and understanding the code
I was trying to comprehend this code on github
Here they programmer have used something like this
constructor(props)
super(props);
this.actions = bindActionCreators(Actions, this.props.dispatch);
Question 1: Here, this.actions = bindActionCreators(Actions, this.props.dispatch);
doesn't make sense to me
Also, This isn't primary question but from where I learned React-redux, we used to connect component like this
export default connect(mapStateToProps,
fetchCoin,
updateCrypto,
CurrencyRate,
CurrencyState
)(cryptoTicker);
In the above code Snippet the programmer have done something like this
@connect(state =>
return
score: state.game.get("score"),
result: state.game.get("result")
;
)
Question 2: ** Which again sort of looks alien to me (like I have few months of experience using js but this is the first time I am encountering **@
) So can someone please explain me what is @ in general in JS?
And lastly he have declared two functions which are being called onclick
after return statement of class
_handleNewGame = () =>
this.actions.initGame();
/**
* Save the current game`s state.
*/
_handleSaveGame = () =>
this.actions.saveGame();
Now Since I am still relatively new to JS and react, I have two questions for this part
Question 3: Can we create a function inside a class after return and render? If yes then wouldn't it have been a good practise (in general) to create a function before render where all the other functions are declared?

It appears the github code you're referenced is a couple years old. I highly recommend following the example on the official Redux site (redux.js.org/basics/exampletodolist) to understand how the code works. For example, the official site uses non-decorator syntax which i find to be easier to understand than @connect.

@ShawnAndrews even i use the same way (as shown in question) but I am just trying to comprehend his code. Either way, can you answer the other two part of the question?

For question #1 and #2, your '@connect' and 'connect(mapStateToProps, ...)(cryptoTicker)' syntax is equivalent. The @ indicates to the parser that we're using a decorator for our function, the connect(...) function, and outputs the same class, in this case Game, but with added functionality. This is called a HoC (Higher Order Components) design pattern and you can read more about it here https://medium.com/@mappmechanic/react-utility-higher-order-components-as-decorators-tc39-stage-2-9e9f3a17688a
For question #3, you are correct, it is better practice to leave the render function for the last function in the component.
