Why use Redux?
What problem does Redux solve?
STATE
@christianalfoni
A data you use to populate a template
Model

(state) => view
Action
Reducers
dispatch
oldState
Store
Single source of truth
State is read-only
Changes are made with pure functions
How is it different from React???
Store ≈ this.state
Actions & Reducers ≈ this.setState
always render with from store
≈ re-render with this.setState
It's about giving the application a single state (store)
Lifting the state
Lifting the state
Eventually, React will start doing more than it should.
The Role of the Store
- Hold the state
- Expose state by store.getState()
- Update state by store.dispatch(action)
- Add a listener with store.subscribe(listener)
Following examples are inspired from http://mae.chab.in/archives/2885
Store Code
// Create initial state
const initialState = {
value: null,
};
const store = createStore(reducer, initialState);
Using Store
// Initiate action
store.dispatch({type: 'SOME_ACTION', value: 'EX_VALUE'});
// Called once there is change in state
store.subscribe(() => {
// Do something
});
Reducer Code
// Reducer
formReducer(state, action) => {
switch (action.type) {
case SOME_ACTION:
return Object.assign({}, state, {
value: action.value,
});
default:
return state;
}
}
That's it!

Isn't it back to MVC?
It's all about the view

Smart vs Dumb
Smart: Describe how things work
- Provide no DOM markup or styles
- Provide application data, do data fetching
- Call Flux actions
- Named *Container by convention
Dumb: Describe how things look
- Have no app dependencies
- Receive only props, providing data and callbacks
- Rarely have own state, when they do, it’s just UI state
- Named anything that’s a UI noun

Better separation of concerns
Better reusability
Presentational components
become app’s “palette”
"I would like to amend this: don't use Redux until you have problems with vanilla React."

React & Redux can be used in many ways
