## Use Middleware to Handle Asynchronous Actions
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Hint 1
 | 
						|
Treat the ```dispatch``` argument as a function and pass the action events in it. 
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Hint 2
 | 
						|
The ```requestingData``` action event will be passed first. 
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Hint 3
 | 
						|
The ```receivedData``` action event will be passed after the ```setTimeout``` function. 
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This sequence simulates the process of requesting the data, receiving the data and then dispatching the received data. 
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Hint 4
 | 
						|
It is important that the ```data``` variable be passed as an argument of ```receivedData```. 
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Solution
 | 
						|
```javascript
 | 
						|
const REQUESTING_DATA = 'REQUESTING_DATA'
 | 
						|
const RECEIVED_DATA = 'RECEIVED_DATA'
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
const requestingData = () => { return {type: REQUESTING_DATA} }
 | 
						|
const receivedData = (data) => { return {type: RECEIVED_DATA, users: data.users} }
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
const handleAsync = () => {
 | 
						|
  return function(dispatch) {
 | 
						|
    // dispatch request action here
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    dispatch(requestingData());
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    setTimeout(function() {
 | 
						|
      let data = {
 | 
						|
        users: ['Jeff', 'William', 'Alice']
 | 
						|
      }
 | 
						|
      // dispatch received data action here
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
      dispatch(receivedData(data));
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    }, 2500);
 | 
						|
  }
 | 
						|
};
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
const defaultState = {
 | 
						|
  fetching: false,
 | 
						|
  users: []
 | 
						|
};
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
const asyncDataReducer = (state = defaultState, action) => {
 | 
						|
  switch(action.type) {
 | 
						|
    case REQUESTING_DATA:
 | 
						|
      return {
 | 
						|
        fetching: true,
 | 
						|
        users: []
 | 
						|
      }
 | 
						|
    case RECEIVED_DATA:
 | 
						|
      return {
 | 
						|
        fetching: false,
 | 
						|
        users: action.users
 | 
						|
      }
 | 
						|
    default:
 | 
						|
      return state;
 | 
						|
  }
 | 
						|
};
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
const store = Redux.createStore(
 | 
						|
  asyncDataReducer,
 | 
						|
  Redux.applyMiddleware(ReduxThunk.default)
 | 
						|
);
 | 
						|
```
