Description

Would like a util that takes in a name and generates the 3 actions that you normally use with data sources/async:

Loading, Success, Failure actions.

API can be whatever, I'm thinking something like:

const actions = nameForThisFunctionHere('foo'); // = ['fooSuccess', 'fooLoading', 'fooFailed']

perhaps 2 functions, one to generate the array which can then be passed into generateActions and another one that actually creates the actions for you?

Research direction
Look at the existing utility functions in the alt library, particularly any action creators or helpers. The issue suggests generating an array of action type strings like 'fooLoading', 'fooSuccess', 'fooFailed'. Consider implementing a function that takes a name and returns an array, and optionally another function that creates actual action objects. Check if there are similar patterns in the codebase (e.g., src/utils/actions.js). The maintainer's comment may clarify the desired API.
