Redux Quick Start Guide

By: James Lee, Tao Wei, Suresh Kumar Mukhiya

Overview of this book

Starting with a detailed overview of Redux, we will follow the test-driven development (TDD) approach to develop single-page applications. We will set up JEST for testing and use JEST to test React, Redux, Redux-Sage, Reducers, and other components. We will then add important middleware and set up immutableJS in our application. We will use common data structures such as Map, List, Set, and OrderedList from the immutableJS framework. We will then add user interfaces using ReactJS, Redux-Form, and Ant Design. We will explore the use of react-router-dom and its functions. We will create a list of routes that we will need in order to create our application, and explore routing on the server site and create the required routes for our application. We will then debug our application and integrate Redux Dev tools. We will then set up our API server and create the API required for our application. We will dive into a modern approach to structuring our server site components in terms of Model, Controller, Helper functions, and utilities functions. We will explore the use of NodeJS with Express to build the REST API components. Finally, we will venture into the possibilities of extending the application for further research, including deployment and optimization.

Understanding route props


The react-router, which is the <Route> component, accepts the following props:

Route.propTypes= {
 computedMatch:PropTypes.object,
 path:PropTypes.string,
 exact:PropTypes.bool,
 strict:PropTypes.bool,
 sensitive:PropTypes.bool,
 component:PropTypes.func,
 render:PropTypes.func,
 children:PropTypes.oneOfType([PropTypes.func, PropTypes.node]),
 location:PropTypes.object
};
  1. Exact props: To match the browser's location.pathname exactly with the <Route> component's path, we can add the exact prop to the <Route>, as follows:
<Route
    path="/admin"
    component={AdminComponent}
    exact
/>
  1. Strict props: For the strict prop, react-router ensures that <Route> matches only if the URL has a trailing slash. This means that if strict props are used in the Route component, /admin/users/ will be matched, whereas/admin/users will not be matched:
<Route
    path="/admin/"
    component={AdminComponent}
    strict
/>
  1. Sensitive props: The sensitive...
