Listening for Actions with take Effect
Illustrate using the `take` effect to pause the saga until a specific action is dispatched, which triggers the next step in the saga.
import { take, put, call } from 'redux-saga/effects';
function* authenticateUser() {
// Placeholder for authentication logic
console.log('User authenticated');
}
function* watchLoginActions() {
while (true) {
// Waiting for a LOGIN_REQUEST action to be dispatched
yield take('LOGIN_REQUEST');
// Once LOGIN_REQUEST is caught, authenticateUser saga is called
yield call(authenticateUser);
// After authentication, you could dispatch a success action
// yield put({type: 'LOGIN_SUCCESS'});
}
}
This code snippet illustrates how the `take` effect is used to pause the saga until a 'LOGIN_REQUEST' action is dispatched to the Redux store. Once this action is observed, `authenticateUser` saga is executed to handle user authentication. This pattern is commonly used for handling asynchronous workflows such as user login processes in Redux-Saga.
