alt VS redux

Oh hey, that's my post!

(yes I spend too much time refreshing HN :) )

FWIW I did end up with a packaging combination that seems to work sufficiently. I never did fix the "FalseCJS" issue that `are-the-types-wrong` is detecting. I played with double-emitting TS typedefs, and the `tsup` tool _does_ actually have support for that now (added by Andrew Branch from the TS team). So it might be more feasible now. But ultimately I decided I was tired of messing with packaging setup and that what I've got is good enough. (hopefully)

We're actually about to launch Redux Toolkit 2.0 and Redux 5.0 this week, assuming the last couple pieces come together. Here's the latest RCs - you can see the current `package.json` files in there:

redux with react-redux

Library functions, for example, a reducer function in the Redux library (const users = (state, action) => { /* some logic */ }), functional components in React (const UserDashboard = () => { /* component */ }), and many other exceptions and conventions proposed by libraries and frameworks.

State management is a fundamental aspect of building modern web applications. As an application grows, managing and maintaining the states can become rather daunting. Redux, a popular JavaScript library, has been the go-to solution for state management in React applications for a while now.

Avoid using complex state structures to make it easier to manage and debug. There are multiple libraries to help manage complex state management such as Redux, Hookstate, etc.

Maybe you heard about Redux, Zustand or MobX. All of them are state management libraires for React. But why would you even need one? And should you learn one now?

Well there’s no easy answer. I had this habit of keeping a daily work journal which I picked from Mark Erikson (the maintainer of Redux), in that mostly I’d write what features I worked on that day or bugs that scratched my itch. It really helped me look back on things I’ve learnt and write better documentation.

For the backend, we chose Python, Django Rest Framework. On the frontend, React, Redux, Saga, Sass. Let’s start with the backend, which was managed by Yegor. He writes about the server part of the project himself.

Use types for Redux state slices and action creators

If you are using Redux, then this is a lifesaver. We know Redux reducers can store a lot of data, and if you feed the complete store into any component, it will cause it to re-render anytime anything in that store updates.
