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.

Creating tests for React components

As developers, we don't want complex development experiences where we get slowed down or, even worse, the entire team gets slowed down by complex architectures and libraries that make software unmaintainable. The React Testing Library is a lightweight solution for testing React components. It provides utility functions on top of react-dom to query the DOM in the same way the user would.

Understanding this as we did in the previous section, I'm going to explain the principal methods we're going to use, but I encourage you to have a read of the Testing Library website:

import { render, screen } from "@testing-library/react"
describe("described suite", () => {
  it("should render correctly", () => {
    render(<SomeComponent />)
    expect(screen.queryByText("some text in the screen")).    toBeInTheDocument(...
