Mastering createAsyncThunk: Sending Custom Parameters on Pending Status in Redux
When working with asynchronous actions in Redux, specifically using createAsyncThunk, sending custom parameters during the pending status can be a bit tricky. Many developers want to know how to pass additional information, such as user IDs, while an action is still in progress. If you’ve found yourself asking, "How do I send custom parameters on createAsyncThunk when it’s pending?", you’re in the right place. Let's break this down step by step.
Understanding createAsyncThunk
createAsyncThunk is a utility from Redux Toolkit that lets you define asynchronous actions in a concise manner. It handles action types for pending, fulfilled, and rejected states, making it easier to manage the various states of your asynchronous activities.
Here’s a quick summary of the states involved when using createAsyncThunk:
Pending: The action has been dispatched, and the async operation is ongoing.
Fulfilled: The async operation has completed successfully, and data is available.
Rejected: The async operation has failed, and an error will be provided.
Now, let’s look at how we can send custom parameters when the action is in the pending state.
Sending Custom Parameters on Pending Status
Context
When you create an async thunk, you typically provide a function to handle fetching data. This function can take arguments, which are used in your async operation. However, if you want to access these arguments in the pending state, you can leverage the meta property of the action.
Example Code
Let’s revisit the example provided:

Breaking It Down
Action Definition: In the first line, we define fetchUserById, which takes a userId as a parameter. This value will be used in our fetching logic.
Pending State: When the fetchUserById action is dispatched and is still loading (pending), we add a case in extra reducers. Here, we access the argument we passed (userId) through meta.arg.
Fulfilled State: Once the async operation completes successfully, we process the fetched user data and update the state accordingly.
Why Is This Important?
Better Tracking: By logging or processing meta.arg during the pending state, you can better track which request is corresponding to which user ID, which is especially helpful in situations with multiple simultaneous requests.
State Management: Understanding how to manage states can significantly improve your application's performance and maintainability.
Conclusion
Handling custom parameters in the pending status of createAsyncThunk is straightforward when you know where to look. By utilizing the meta property, you can access the arguments passed to your thunk and make your application robust and interactive. So next time you consider handling asynchronous actions in Redux, remember the power of createAsyncThunk and how to best utilize it!
Now go ahead and implement these concepts into your Redux Toolkit applications for creating more dynamic user experiences!
