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.

Integrating Redux DevTools


There are two versions of Redux DevTools:

Installing Redux DevTools

In this section, we are going to install Redux DevTools and understand how it works:

  1. Start with code from Chapter 6, Extending Redux by Middleware, which can be found in the CH06 GitHub repository. The working code from this chapter can be downloaded from CH07
  2. Install redux-devtools using yarn or npm:
yarn add redux-devtools --dev --exact
or
npm install --save-dev redux-devtools
  1. Create a DevTools component inside the container (app/containers/DevTools.js):
import React from 'react';
import { createDevTools } from 'redux-devtools';
import LogMonitor from 'redux-devtools-log...
