Overview of this book

The book starts with a short introduction to the principles and the ecosystem of Redux, then moves on to show how to implement the basic elements of Redux and put them together. Afterward, you are going to learn how to integrate Redux with other frameworks, such as React and Angular. Along the way, you are going to develop a blog application. To practice developing growing applications with Redux, we are going to start from nothing and keep adding features to our application throughout the book. You are going to learn how to integrate and use Redux DevTools to debug applications, and access external APIs with Redux. You are also going to get acquainted with writing tests for all elements of a Redux application. Furthermore, we are going to cover important concepts in web development, such as routing, user authentication, and communication with a backend server After explaining how to use Redux and how powerful its ecosystem can be, the book teaches you how to make your own abstractions on top of Redux, such as higher-order reducers and middleware. By the end of the book, you are going to be able to develop and maintain Redux applications with ease. In addition to learning about Redux, you are going be familiar with its ecosystem, and learn a lot about JavaScript itself, including best practices and patterns.

Sending notifications to an API via Redux

In the preceding section, we focused on how to access an API and pull its data into the Redux store. In this section, we will focus on how to send data from our Redux application to an API.

Note that in this section, we will only cover the Redux implementation. Additional React components need to be created to implement these features. If you want to practice using React with Redux, feel free to implement these yourself; otherwise, you can use the template in chapter6_3.zip. Unpack the zip, change into the directory, and run npm install to install the dependencies. You will see that the template already works. However, all changes are only made on the client and not persisted to the backend server/database.
