Redux can I use one action type in separate reducers?
<p>I have a situation in my Redux application where I currently have 3 separate reducers that handle the fetching of data from an api. An example of one of my reducers would be:</p>

<pre><code>const INITIAL_STATE = {
  data: [],
  loading: false,
  error: ''
};

export default (state = INITIAL_STATE, action) =&gt; {
  switch (action.type) {
    case GET_ALL_ORDERS_START:
      return {
        ...state,
        loading: true
      };
    case GET_ALL_ORDERS_SUCCESS:
      return {
        ...state,
        allOrders: action.payload,
        loading: false
      };
    case GET_ALL_ORDERS_FAIL:
      return {
        ...state,
        loading: false,
        error: action.payload
      };
    default:
      return state;
  }
};
</code></pre>

<p>Note the loading and error states, these are identical in each current reducer and will be for any subsequent reducers I write that involve fetching data from the api.</p>

<p>I would like to add a further reducer that is used only for the loading and error pieces of state. The other 3 would store the data.</p>

<p>This would give me:</p>

<p>Data reducers x 3</p>

<pre><code>const INITIAL_STATE = {
  data: []
  // any other state in the future
};

export default (state = INITIAL_STATE, action) =&gt; {
  switch (action.type) {
    case GET_ALL_ORDERS_SUCCESS:
      return {
        ...state,
        allOrders: action.payload
      };
    default:
      return state;
  }
};
</code></pre>

<p>Loading / Error reducer (handles loading / error for entire app)</p>

<pre><code>const INITIAL_STATE = {
  loading: false,
  error: ''
};

export default (state = INITIAL_STATE, action) =&gt; {
  switch (action.type) {
    case GET_ALL_ORDERS_START:
      return {
        ...state,
        loading: true
      };
    case GET_ALL_ORDERS_SUCCESS:
      return {
        ...state,
        loading: false
      };
    case GET_ALL_ORDERS_FAIL:
      return {
        ...state,
        loading: false,
        error: action.payload
      };
    default:
      return state;
  }
};
</code></pre>

<p>As you can see this means the GET_ALL_ORDER_SUCCESS action type will be used in 2 separate reducers. My question is, is this ok? or does it go against convention?</p>

<p>Many thanks in advance.</p>
