Question: Why not make dispatch available in transform? about redux-logic HOT 3 CLOSED

Hello Ivo,

Jeff may have additional insight here, but you can optionally pass an action parameter to your reject() invocation.

There are different conditions, where the action can be:

1. the original action
2. one with a modified payload
3. a completely new action (i.e. different action type)
4. or no action parameter at all

I believe the third case will service your needs. If you call reject(newAction) redux-logic will basically kill the current action and re-dispatch the new one.

Hi @KevinAst,

Indeed 3. would solve my use case.

Thanks for your help :)

Thanks for the question @hyperivo!

Kevin did a good job summarizing that. I appreciate it @KevinAst .

So yes, when you pass an action to accept or reject it will look at the type. If it is the same type it will internally call the middleware next handing it down to the rest of the middlewares and reducer. If it was a different type it will instead dispatch so that all necessary middleware will have a chance to see it. This behavior can be overridden with options but normally it is exactly what you want to happen (it also prevents the potential loops).
