experimental-nuclear-js

This repo contains experimental APIs for building isomorphic applications with Nuclear.js. Current methods include:

- serialize and deserialize: call each store's (de)serialize method, falling back to toJS/toImmutable when no custom method is implemented

- createActions: take a list of action names and returns a map of action names to Reflux-style functors

Also extends the Nuclear constructor to support declarative module definitions:

``javascript
var reactor = new Reactor(
{
"moduleA": {
"simpleActions": [
"doStuff",
"doDifferentStuff",
],

"complexActions": {
"doComplexStuff": function (payload) {
this.actions.doStuff(payload);

doSomethingAsync(payload).then(
this.actions.doDifferentStuff
);

return payload;
},
],

"stores": {
"stuff": {
"serialize": function (lastValue) {
return lastValue.toJSON();
},

"deserialize": function (serializedValue) {
return new Stuff(serializedValue);
},

"initialize": function () {
this.on(
this.actions.doStuff,
function (lastValue, newValue) {
return lastValue.append(newValue.stuff);
}
);
},
},
},

"getters" {
"stuff": ["stuff"],
},
},
}
);

reactor.moduleA.actions.doStuff(
{
"stuff": [
"banana",
"peaches"
],
}
);
`

As this evolves, some methods (like serialize/deserialize`) will migrate upstream to Nuclear. The rest will form a new library that builds upon Nuclear with conventions that make isomorphic applications easier to create.
