Allow access to Services from within a Component

[charles-tai]

I want to verify if a user inputted email is available in the db, I just need a boolean response from the server.

I could just make an ajax call from within the Component using superagent (or another ajax library), but I was wondering if theres a way to access Services from within a component? That way, I can just use a Service to access my db instead of using an external library.

I understand that Fluxible wants to enforce unidirectional flow and only allows access to Services from within an Action Context. But in this case, i'm not dealing with persistent data. So i have no need to go through Stores, I just need a boolean response from my server.

We will probably not expose this by default in fluxible-plugin-fetchr. If you need this functionality, you could achieve this using a Fluxible plugin or as you said just use a third-party library like superagent.

Thanks mridgway, Ill try to create a Fluxible plugin to expose Services in the Component context.

From your experience, do you see any potential red flags from this approach?
