Is it possible to map redux state to a regular javascript function rather than a React component?
If not, is there another way for connecting redux state to a function? (obviously without explicitly passing it in as a param)
I have tried connecting to a function, but it breaks (I don't have an exact error message. the server just hits an uncaughtException). Since React components can be pure functions, does connect() only work with a class ComponentName extends Component (and the likes)?
The reason I want to do such a thing:
I have an redux action generator, and I want the generator to skip doing an API call if it finds the action's result already in the redux state, but I don't want to have to check state explicitly from every container for every single api call. Does this make sense?
Thanks for any ideas.
