Redux Made Easy with Rematch

By: Sergio Moreno

Overview of this book

Rematch is Redux best practices without the boilerplate. This book is an easy-to-read guide for anyone who wants to get started with Redux, and for those who are already using it and want to improve their codebase. Complete with hands-on tutorials, projects, and self-assessment questions, this easy-to-follow guide will take you from the simplest through to the most complex layers of Rematch. You’ll learn how to migrate from Redux, and write plugins to set up a fully tested store by integrating it with vanilla JavaScript, React, and React Native. You'll then build a real-world application from scratch with the power of Rematch and its plugins. As you advance, you’ll see how plugins extend Rematch functionalities, understanding how they work and help to create a maintainable project. Finally, you'll analyze the future of Rematch and how the frontend ecosystem is becoming easier to use and maintain with alternatives to Redux. By the end of this book, you'll be able to have total control of the application state and use Rematch to manage its scalability with simplicity.

The Rematch updated plugin

The Rematch updated plugin is the easiest plugin that we're covering. Basically, it's a plugin for maintaining timestamps when an effect is dispatched.

It can be used to prevent expensive fetch requests within a certain time period or to throttle effects, for example, to avoid users clicking on the same button multiple times within a period of 3 seconds.

Installation and configuration

Install it like all the other official Rematch plugins:

yarn add @rematch/updated

The updated plugin also accepts some configuration with the following properties:

  • name: The name of the model to be created for storing the updated timestamps. By default, it is updated.
  • blacklist: An array of model names for which the plugin won't track effects.
  • dateCreator: You can pass any custom implementation to create Date objects with custom formatting or a time zone.

We are not going to use the plugin in our application because there...
