POKEDEX - NEXT

This is a project to showcase Next with Redux and Sagas making API calls and having those calls integrated in a full sagas data flow.

Making sagas work with Next.js

It's about blocking vs non-blocking.

A page can trigger execution of a saga with an action from its getInitialProps method like so:

class Home extends Component {
  static async getInitialProps({ store }) {
    store.dispatch(pokemonIndexRequested());
  }

  render() {
    ...
  }
}

Must be an async function

The server will wait for execution of the saga and all related sagas and actions before it renders the page with one condition: sagas effect must be blocking or at least attached.

In some cases this can mean substituting spawn (detached effect) for fork (attached effect).
