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.

Chapter 7. Debugging Redux

Programmers, anyone from a novice to an expert, can make mistakes when writing computer code. These mistakes are referred to as a bug. A bug can be classified as a syntax bug or a logical bug. The process of identification and eradication of such bugs in a computer program is referred to as debugging. According to recent Cambridge University research, debugging can consume up to fifty percent of development time leading to the project delay and over budget consumption. Such debugging techniques can be classified into three broad types: programming techniques, diagnosis analysis tools, and general-purpose debuggers.

In this chapter, we are going to discuss various debugging techniques and tools that can be used during the development of React, the Redux application. Moreover, we will be learning about the Hot Module Reloading (HMR) and its importance.

The following topics will be covered:

  • Integrating Redux DevTools into our application
  • Excluding Redux DevTools from...
