Redux: Feature request: autocurry bindActionCreators

[captbaritone]

A common use case for bindActionCreators (at least with React) is as follows:

const mapDispatchToProps = (dispatch) => bindActionCreators({
    myActionCreator,
    anotherActionCreator
}, dispatch);

If the function were auto-curried (can be called with two arguments, but will return a function if called with only one argument) that could be simplified to:

const mapDispatchToProps = bindActionCreators({
    myActionCreator,
    anotherActionCreator
});

Pros

• Simpler call syntax.
• Intuitive behavior for those familiar with currying.

Cons

• Somewhat "magical" ("Where does dispatch come from??!!")
• Multiple ways to write the same thing.
• Possibly difficult/confusing to document.
• Unintuitive/confusing for those not familiar with currying.

If this is something worth exploring, I'd be happy to open a pull request so we can see what an actual implementation would look like.

Yeah, let's do a PR and discuss this with some real code behind it.

Given that we already have the object shorthand for connect, I'm not sure I see the exact use case here.

@markerikson Good point.
