Redux Quick Start Guide

By: James Lee, Tao Wei, Suresh Kumar Mukhiya

Overview of this book

Starting with a detailed overview of Redux, we will follow the test-driven development (TDD) approach to develop single-page applications. We will set up JEST for testing and use JEST to test React, Redux, Redux-Sage, Reducers, and other components. We will then add important middleware and set up immutableJS in our application. We will use common data structures such as Map, List, Set, and OrderedList from the immutableJS framework. We will then add user interfaces using ReactJS, Redux-Form, and Ant Design. We will explore the use of react-router-dom and its functions. We will create a list of routes that we will need in order to create our application, and explore routing on the server site and create the required routes for our application. We will then debug our application and integrate Redux Dev tools. We will then set up our API server and create the API required for our application. We will dive into a modern approach to structuring our server site components in terms of Model, Controller, Helper functions, and utilities functions. We will explore the use of NodeJS with Express to build the REST API components. Finally, we will venture into the possibilities of extending the application for further research, including deployment and optimization.

Language middleware


Language middleware allows us to create a multi-lingual React application. Explaining each step of how it works is beyond the scope of this book. However, we will try to give a brief walk-through of how it is configured. The working code for the language middleware is in the GitHub repository inside CH06:

  1. We used the react-intl (https://github.com/yahoo/react-intl) library for internationalization. It can be added to the application in the same way as other—yarn add react-intl
  2. The CH06 repository is configured with two locales, Norwegian and English. If you check the CH06/app/app.jsfile, you will see theLanguageProvidercontainer. We are providing the container as the parent component of the Router so that we can change locale easily:
const render = messages => {
  ReactDOM.render(
    <Provider store={store}>
 <LanguageProvider messages={messages}>
        <ConnectedRouter history={history}>
          <App />
        </ConnectedRouter>...
