Using ES6 classes with Redux

Question

I am working on a project that brings a ton of data from one endpoint to one gearbox. I would like to convert this data to ES6 classes, so I can give them a helper method, ensure the relationship between the data and not work with regular javascript objects all the time. Also, in order to get the relationship between the data, I have to do n-square calculations and slow down the external interface.

Here are the options I see:

1) Create a selector that connects to the redux repository. This selector could receive data from the gearbox and convert it to several ES6 classes that I defined. If the reducer receives new data that is different from each other, the selector recreates instances of ES6 classes.

2) https://github.com/tommikaikkonen/redux-orm This also seems fantastic.

3) Create some selectors in the dataset that will calculate the specified relation in the dataset, so I can just call this selector every time I want to get the relation, which otherwise would be computing n-squares to get,

My question is which of the three should I take? Is there an alternative besides these 3? Or people just work with javascript objects mainly on the interface and do not deal with ES6 classes.

Update:

Two months later, and I'm still using Redux-ORM in production, and it's fantastic! Highly recommend.

Of course, it is entirely possible to do all this with the help of "simple" functions and selectors. There is normalization information in the Redux FAQ , and I have some articles on selectors and normalization as part of my React / Redux link list .

However, I am a big supporter of Redux-ORM. This is a fantastic tool for managing normalized / relational data in your Redux store. I use it to normalize embedded data, query data, and constantly update data.

My hands- on Redux blog blog includes two Redux-ORM articles: Redux-ORM Fundamentals and Redux-ORM Concepts and Techniques . The last article, Practical Redux Part 5: Loading and Displaying Data , also shows Redux-ORM.

The author of Redux-ORM, Tommy Kaikkonen, actually just posted a beta version of the main Redux-ORM update, which improves the API and behavior that I look forward to playing with.

I definitely recommend it!
