| ## 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)
 | |
| );
 | |
| ```
