bindActionCreators

Note

You almost certainly do not need this function anymore.

Instead, check out the object shorthand of mapDispatchToProps.

bindActionCreators() is a utility function which wraps actions in dispatch() so they may be called directly.

See Redux dispatches for what an action creator or a dispatch are.

import * as IncrementActionCreators from "./IncrementActionCreators";

console.log(IncrementActionCreators);
// { increment: Function, decrement: Function }

const boundIncrementActionCreators = bindActionCreators(
  IncrementActionCreators,
  // One must assume we got dispatch from somewhere ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  dispatch
);

// This will just make an action, and not do anything
IncrementActionCreators.increment();

// This will make that same action, then dispatch it
boundIncrementActionCreators.increment();
