Redux - how to call an action creator from inside another action creator?

Question

I have the following action creator:

export function foo(param) {
    ...
}

and I want to call it from an adjacent action creator (in the same file) like this:

export function bar(param){
    return (dispatch, getState) => {
        dispatch({
            type: ATYPE.SET_DO_THIS_BEFORE_FOO,
            payload: param
        });

        foo(param);
    }
}

but the foo action creator is not firing from inside bar. Is there any way to do this?

Answer 1

According to your example, it seems that you're already using redux-thunk. If that's the case, the only thing that you're forgetting is to dispatch the action created by your action creator:

dispatch(foo(param));
