react-redux VS axios

React projects usually encounter closure issues with managing state. In React applications, you can manage state local to a component with useState . You can also leverage tools for centralized state management like Redux, or React Context for state management that goes across multiple components in a project.

React Redux (https://react-redux.js.org/)

You add the current user state to a React Context or state management library, read from it on the top bar, and write to it after a user signs in. Done. No big deal, right?

- Throws better errors in an RSC environment

- https://github.com/reduxjs/react-redux/releases/tag/v9.0.0

## Reselect 5.0:

- Switches to a new `weakMapMemoize` memoizer as default

- Renames `defaultMemoize` to `lruMemoize`

- Allows passing memoizer options direct to `createSelector`

- Many TS improvements

- https://github.com/reduxjs/reselect/releases/tag/v5.0.1

## Redux Thunk 3.0:

- Drops the default export and switches to named exports ( `{thunk, withExtraArgument}` )

- https://github.com/reduxjs/redux-thunk/releases/tag/v3.1.0

This has been a _huge_ year-long development effort!

We're thrilled to get these improvements out. The tooling and bundle improvements will help all users, and we think the features and TS changes will improve the Redux dev experience significantly.

Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who has contributed or helped test out the work!

Please file bug reports for the inevitable issues that pop up post-release!

but now I'm going off on a conf trip and going to take a very well-earned break from Redux work for December :)

redux with react-redux

The concept of data fetching in React applications is of high importance as it is often necessary to fetch data from an external source, such as an API or a database, and use that data to render components. React provides several ways to fetch data, including the built-in fetch method and popular third-party library Axios. One popular approach to data fetching in React is to use hooks like useEffect and useSWR from the swr third-party npm package. These hooks allow developers to fetch data and manage its state within a component, making it easy to update the UI in response to changes in the data.

This is the first post in an ad-hoc series where I convert libraries to TypeScript, and analyze the results. In the same vein as my re-conversion of the Turbo Framework to TypeScript, I decided to take a popular JavaScript library, this time one that had always been in JavaScript, and see what converting the codebase to TypeScript revealed. I chose Axios, because it’s:

Axios Official Documentation – The official docs are always the best place to start for the latest updates and best practices.

Axios: This library is great for making HTTP requests from React to your Laravel backend. More details can be found on Axios GitHub.

Axios Documentation: Axios Docs The official Axios site provides a complete guide on how to install and use Axios, along with advanced configuration options.

Fetching Data from APIs: Use fetch or libraries like Axios to make HTTP requests.

Axios: Axios is a well-known library that is mostly used to send asynchronous HTTP queries to REST endpoints. When performing CRUD activities, this library comes in quite handy. Using this library, you can talk to the backend. To keep your portfolio dynamic, we'll use Axios to fetch your latest content from ButterCMS, keep your portfolio data up to date, and handle API requests efficiently.
