Memberships

When a user joins a channel, an association called a Membership is stored between the User and the Channel. Application users can immediately see which channels they belong to, join or leave channels to create these memberships, and access information about other users and channels.

State Shape

The data about Memberships is stored from the perspective of Users and Channels in a normalized structure. The following example shows the shape of Memberships in the store:

{
  "byId": {
    "user_53bbe00387004010a8b9ad5f36bdd4a7": [
      {
        "id": "channel_ac4e67b98b34b44c4a39466e93e",
        "custom": {
          "admin": true
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

Reducers

The PubNub Redux framework provides reducers your app can implement that respond to various actions that update the store. To track the state of a set of objects in the store, combine the reducers you want into the rootReducer for your app.

createMembershipReducer

createMembershipReducer instantiates a reducer in the store that responds to actions dispatched to update the state of a user's memberships, and all channel memberships, in the store.

createMembershipReducer();

Listeners

The PubNub Redux framework includes listeners that monitor PubNub events from the server and dispatch corresponding actions. All listeners are automatically invoked if your app registers the combined PubNub listener. You can register only specific listeners, or implement your own combine listeners function.

createMembershipListener

createMembershipListener registers a listener in the store that monitors Membership events.

A sample implementation of a single listener:

pubnub.addListener(createMembershipListener(store.dispatch));

Commands

The PubNub Redux framework provides commands that your app can dispatch to the store to be managed by the Thunk middleware. Commands interact with the PubNub API and dispatch basic actions which are then processed by reducers to update the state in the store.
