Fetching a single user

We start by writing an action creator that fetches a single user object by username; we can use our thunkCreator utility function here:

1. We start by defining action types in the src/actionTypes.js file:

// ...other action types...// usersexport const FETCH_USER_REQUEST = 'FETCH_USER_REQUEST'export const FETCH_USER_SUCCESS = 'FETCH_USER_SUCCESS'export const FETCH_USER_FAILURE = 'FETCH_USER_FAILURE'// ...other user related action types...// ...other action types...

2. Then, we import the utility function at the top of the src/actions/users.js file:

import { thunkCreator } from './utils'

3. We also edit the other import statement to import the new action types:

import { FETCH_USER_REQUEST, FETCH_USER_SUCCESS, FETCH_USER_FAILURE, ...
