Redux & Redux Toolkit

• redux is a core library

• react-redux is an implementation of redux using react (used for wiring between react & redux)

• following are the steps of using redux-toolkit :

  • build store (mostly have single store - known as single source of truth) - createStore

  • add features (slice - term used for representing reducers) - createSlice -- createSlice contains - name, initialState, reducers -- the name which we give here, will be shown on browser redux toolkit dev extension -- reducers contains all type of actions which we need to perform for that feature -- the function which we write inside reducer, contains two things - state and action, in which state contains the data which we store as a initialState but with updated and action contains the payload part

  • whenever we need to perform any action we need to store useDispatch()

  • when we need to read the value - useSelector() is used

Note:

• redux uses immer.js for handling immutable states functionality internally

Thunk - Redux Middleware

• the word 'thunk' is a programming term that means "a piece of code that does some delayed work"
• used for writing standard async logic for redux

Optimisation -

• we can use React.memo() for avoiding multiple re-renders of component
• Normalization - using "createEntityAdapter()"
