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.

Converting Rematch models to TypeScript

To get started on migrating our project to TypeScript, we'll need some steps that will be common for any project:

  • Create a configuration file for TypeScript.
  • Rename files to TypeScript files.
  • Installing declaration files and TypeScript dev dependency.

These steps will largely be required on all the projects you create with TypeScript, even without using Rematch. In this chapter, we won't explain every type we need to add to make the migration complete since it would become larger than desired. You can look at the result in the GitHub repository of the book, and you could also read the official TypeScript documentation regarding how to migrate from a JavaScript code base: https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/migrating-from-javascript.html.

Creating the configuration file

Let's get started by creating a configuration file. We just need to create a tsconfig.json file in the root of our project...
