[Functional Programming] Using Lens to update nested object

时间:2022-07-22 13:46:41

For example, in React application, we have initial state;

const data = {
nextId: 4,
todoFilter: 'SHOW_ALL',
todos: [
{ id: 1, title: 'Hug Unicorn', completed: false },
{ id: 2, title: 'Mess with Texas', completed: false },
{ id: 3, title: 'Do Laundry', completed: true }
],
ui: {
filterGroups: {
status: false
}
}
}

We have a toggle button, which everytime, it is toggle 'ui.filterGroups.status' to true/false.

Whenever we have to update nested object, we should always comes up a word 'Lens'!

Here is how to do it:

import { State, compose  } from 'crocks'
import {lensPath, lensProp, over, not} from 'ramda'
const { modify } = State // ui -> filterGroups -> status const lnsFilterGroups = lensPath(['ui', 'filterGroups'])
export const toggleFilterGroup = ({ group }) => {
const lns = compose(
lnsFilterGroups,
lensProp(group)
) return modify(over(lns, not))
}
