javascript - How can I force reflux actions to fire in a simple test program? -

i'm trying learn how reflux actions , stores work wrote small test program. when run application, code calls

togglegem(); 

(which causes reflux action fire) not run. these action events queued can shown output of program below.

the output is:

myobj=lastupdate=undefined myobj=lastupdate=undefined myobj=lastupdate=undefined enter: gemstore.handletogglegem: isgemactivated:false myobj.ongemchange: newval=true exit:  gemstore.handletogglegem: isgemactivated:true enter: gemstore.handletogglegem: isgemactivated:true myobj.ongemchange: newval=false exit:  gemstore.handletogglegem: isgemactivated:false 

notice console output

enter: gemstore.handletogglegem: isgemactivated:false 

doesn't appear until program exiting. (to me) means action events bundled , fired/run later "housekeeping" reflux doing.

is there function can call tell reflux fire action events have been queued?

to recreate example, save code refluxtest.js , run these commands:

mkdir refluxtest npm init npm install --save reflux npm install --save react node refluxtest.js 

thanks.

note: know not representative of how reflux used because outside of browser curious if had answer.

based on code http://spoike.ghost.io/deconstructing-reactjss-flux/

// code file refluxtest.js // kws: learning how reflux works outside of browser  var react = require("react/addons"); var testutils = react.addons.testutils; var reflux = require("reflux");  // creating action var togglegem = reflux.createaction();  // creates datastore var gemstore = reflux.createstore({      // initial setup     init: function() {         this.isgemactivated = false;          // register statusupdate action         this.listento(togglegem, this.handletogglegem);     },      // callback     handletogglegem: function() {         console.log('enter: gemstore.handletogglegem: isgemactivated:' + this.isgemactivated);         this.isgemactivated = !this.isgemactivated;          // pass on listeners through         // datastore.trigger function         this.trigger(this.isgemactivated);         console.log('exit:  gemstore.handletogglegem: isgemactivated:' + this.isgemactivated);     }  });  function myobj() {     gemstore.listen(this.ongemchange);     this.lastupdate = undefined; }  myobj.prototype.tostring = function() {     return "lastupdate=" + this.lastupdate; }  myobj.prototype.ongemchange = function(newval){     console.log("myobj.ongemchange: newval=" + newval);     this.lastupdate = newval; }  var myobj = new myobj(); console.log("myobj=" + myobj);  togglegem(); console.log("myobj=" + myobj);  togglegem(); console.log("myobj=" + myobj); 

i began debug , step reflux code , first statement checks see if "sync" flag set, tried setting it, , worked!

so changing code add togglegem.sync = true shown below

// creating action var togglegem = reflux.createaction(); togglegem.sync = true;                 // line added 

the sample program works expected.

note: after sync problem asked fixed, noticed bug/problem related javascript "this". below additional change needed:

function myobj() {     gemstore.listen(this.ongemchange, this);     this.lastupdate = undefined; } 

if this not passed in gemstore.listen call, code not work properly.
