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.

Migrating a Redux store to Rematch init

Redux's most relevant method is the createStore() method, as you'll remember from Chapter 3, Redux First Steps – Creating a Simple To-Do App, in the Creating our first store section, and is responsible for initializing our store and passing any additional configuration:

const store = window.Redux.createStore(
  reducer,
  window.__REDUX_DEVTOOLS_EXTENSION__ && window.__REDUX_  DEVTOOLS_EXTENSION__()
);

createStore() doesn't exist in the Rematch library, being replaced instead by the init() function, which allows us to pass any Redux and Rematch configuration.

A best practice with Rematch is to think about the logic and split it inside models, but if our current application has too many reducers that can't be simplified or unified into single file models, it's a good practice to start with this simple step.

We're just using Rematch's init() function in...
