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.

Rematch utility types

Since version 2 of Rematch, which was released on February 1, 2020, it is fully compatible out of the box with TypeScript. There are some key concepts that are important to understand in terms of how Rematch makes it possible to type every corner of our state.

We will start with the first one we should create when creating a Rematch application with TypeScript.

RootModel

RootModel, or whatever you want to call this interface, is the main interface of our store. It's a TypeScript interface that stores all of our model's types:

import { Models } from '@rematch/core'
import { count } from './models/count'
export interface RootModel extends Models<RootModel> {
    count: typeof count
}
export const models: RootModel = { count }

We need to create a circular cycle where RootModel is injected as a generic type into the Models type because Rematch architecture and how it's designed makes...
