Chapter 8 : Redux : Juliet Of React (If react is Romeo)

  1. Redux State management

First Please Go through Mentioned Playlist of Redux by Deepesh Malvia

Let's delve deeper into each segment of learning Redux with React.

Redux with React​

a. Introduction to Redux:​

-Dive into the motivation behind Redux. Understand its architecture, composed of actions, reducers, and the store. Discover the concept of predictable state containers and how they benefit application development.

  • Task: Set up a basic React project. Install Redux and Redux DevTools. Initialize your first Redux store and inspect its state using the DevTools. Log any changes to the console.

b. Actions & Reducers:​

  • Familiarize yourself with action creators and how they produce actions. Recognize the importance of pure functions in reducers and how they determine state changes based on dispatched actions.
  • Task: Construct a counter application. Develop action creators for increasing, decreasing, and resetting the counter value. Formulate a reducer to process these actions and produce a new state.

c. Redux Toolkit:​

  • Introduce yourself to Redux Toolkit, a powerful set of utilities crafted to streamline Redux development. Explore tools like createSlice, createAction, and configureStore to optimize boilerplate code.
  • Task: Overhaul your counter application with Redux Toolkit. Emphasize using createSlice to combine reducers and action creators seamlessly.

d. Real-world Patterns:​

Dive into intricate Redux patterns often seen in larger applications. Handle scenarios such as caching data, managing paginated data, and establishing real-time communication via websockets.

  • Task: Augment your counter application with advanced features. Consider adding a history of counter values, cached for efficiency. Implement pagination if the history grows large.

d. APIs with Redux:​

Learn API calling with Redux and Redux toolkit. Learn middleware in Redux

  • Task: use Fake Store APIs to make an UI of Ecommerce Application using Redux (without Redux Toolkit). use redux thunk to make an API call.

e. APIs with Redux Toolkit:​

Learn API calling with Redux and Redux toolkit. Learn middleware in Redux

  • Task: use Fake Store APIs to make an UI of Ecommerce Application using Redux (with Redux Toolkit). use redux thunk to make an API call.

Project: Advanced Todo Management Application:​

  • Overview: This will be a comprehensive task, integrating everything learned.
  • Specifications: Develop a full-fledged todo application. Features should include user registration/login, CRUD operations for todos, categorization, and filtering. Integrate Redux for state management, ensuring seamless addition, deletion, categorization, and editing of todos. Implement middleware for asynchronous operations, perhaps syncing with a mock backend. Improve performance using selectors and memoization techniques, especially when sifting through todos based on criteria.
  • Bonus: Add user-based themes, saved in Redux, that affect the visual appearance of the application.

By working through this enriched content and assignments, you'll evolve from a Redux beginner to someone capable of architecting and developing complex applications with Redux and React.
