Build consistent web apps with Redux by easily centralizing the state of your application.About This BookWrite applications that behave consistently, run in different environments (client, server and native), and are easy to testTake your web apps to the next level by combining the power of Redux with other frameworks such as React and AngularUncover the best practices and hidden features of Redux to build applications that are powerful, consistent, and maintainableWho This Book Is ForThis book targets developers who are already fluent in JavaScript but want to extend their web development skills to develop and maintain bigger applications.What You Will LearnUnderstand why and how Redux worksImplement the basic elements of ReduxUse Redux in combination with React/Angular to develop a web applicationDebug a Redux applicationInterface with external APIs with ReduxImplement user authentication with ReduxWrite tests for all elements of a Redux applicationImplement simple and more advanced routing with ReduxLearn about server-side rendering with Redux and ReactCreate higher-order reducers for ReduxExtend the Redux store via middlewareIn DetailThe book starts with a short introduction to the principles and the ecosystem of Redux, then moves on to show how to implement the basic elements of Redux and put them together. Afterward, you are going to learn how to integrate Redux with other frameworks, such as React and Angular.Along the way, you are going to develop a blog application. To practice developing growing applications with Redux, we are going to start from nothing and keep adding features to our application throughout the book. You are going to learn how to integrate and use Redux DevTools to debug applications, and access external APIs with Redux. You are also going to get acquainted with writing tests for all elements of a Redux application. Furthermore, we are going to cover important concepts in web development, such as routing, user authentication, and communication with a backend serverAfter explaining how to use Redux and how powerful its ecosystem can be, the book teaches you how to make your own abstractions on top of Redux, such as higher-order reducers and middleware.By the end of the book, you are going to be able to develop and maintain Redux applications with ease. In addition to learning about Redux, you are going be familiar with its ecosystem, and learn a lot about JavaScript itself, including best practices and patterns.Style and approachThis practical guide will teach you how to develop a complex, data-intensive application leveraging the capabilities of the Redux framework.
