How to chain multiple handlers with augmented context?

[piotr-yuxuan]

Hi there, thank you very much for this awesome FOSS project, it's always been a delight to use it and educate me to what "good design" is :-) The following is a question about how to achieve some pattern in re-frame, not really an issue. If you know about any discussion rooms where I could ask it, please just tell me and close this issue.

I'd like to chain effectful handlers. For example, let's say I want to retrieve n parent commits on GitHub git repository for Linux kernel: I'll issue a request to retrieve the last commit (with the standard http effectful handler). On success I dispatch another event which gets that commit retrieved + number n-1 of commits to be retrieved. Where should I put these data? Aren't they coeffect of the next event? Once I've got all the commits I should issue a final event which takes all these commits as coeffects, right? were should I put these data?

My first attempt was to use interceptors to express we need to gather some coeffects before we update app-db. However, how can I trigger an effectful handler from interceptor? is it ill-designed? It's completely possible I'm wrong and I miss something very trivial about re-frame design.

Thank you in advance for your any kind reply. Once more, if it's not the place to ask such question, please just tell me where to I could seek help from and close this false issue.

Edit: after looking to some other (unrelated) issues I figured out I may better ask it on https://clojurians.slack.com/archives/re-frame/p1485129928004725 so you may close this issue.
