Expose getType() method for action creators about typesafe-actions HOT 4 CLOSED

Um, getType() is exposed?

The way to use it is usually case getType(someAction):

from typesafe-actions.

@flq I'm talking about

switch (action.type) {
  case someTypesafeAction.getType(): {
    // action typed correctly here
    break;
  }
}

I'm not sure this example works in the current package version

from typesafe-actions.

It's an implementation detail and I don't recommend using this.
The problem with it is that if you add some extra property to the static type of an action creator, then redux type constraints will be throwing errors at you, this is some limitation I run into in the past.

I could make it optional, but you will need to assert first to use it:

switch (action.type) {
  case someTypesafeAction.getType!(): {
    // action typed correctly here
    break;
  }
}

I still consider this as a bad practice and I cannot recommend this approach.
