Combining Redux with Angular

In the preceding chapter, we discussed how to combine Redux with React. In this chapter, we will cover using Redux with Angular. This chapter is intended for readers who are already familiar with Angular. If you are not, feel free to skip this chapter, as the next chapters will use our React/Redux project as the base.

In this chapter, we will cover:

  • Creating a basic Angular 1 application
  • Connecting the Angular 1 application to Redux
  • Creating a basic Angular 2+ application
  • Connecting the Angular 2+ application to Redux

Note that Angular 2 is compatible with newer Angular versions (at the time of writing this book, up to Angular 4).
