Redux + Typescript: Use class to define Actions

You want the actions to be typed. You should use interface or class.

Class is better than interface because in interfaces you cannot define the action "type" as a constant, but in classes you can:

class LoadingStartedAction implements Action{
    readonly type = LOADING_STARTED
}

However a class instance is not a plain object, but Redux requires plain objects to be dispatched.

This can be handled by a middleware which converts the class instances to plain objects

// See https://github.com/reduxjs/redux/issues/992#issuecomment-167964652
const typedActionToPlain = (store: any) => (next: any) => (action: any) =>  {
    next(Object.assign({}, action));
};

export default typedActionToPlain;

Pay attention not to step into the toe of Thunk middleware when registering it:

const rootStore = createStore(rootReducer,
    applyMiddleware(thunkMiddleware,
        typedActionToPlain //this must be after thunk, otherwise it will try to convert an async function to a plain object
    )
);
