redux-devtools-extension VS redux-toolkit

Dev tools: @redux-devtools/extension

As alternative to redux devtools extension in our store. I posted a link to ComposewithDevTools. Which can be use in place of the redux devtools line in our store. Check section 1.3 for more details. ComposeWithDevTools

With the middleware functionality, we can easily actually use an amazing extension created for Redux, Redux DevTools link. We just need to import the devtools middleware, and attach it to our store.

FWIW, I added an "action stack trace" feature to the Redux DevTools a couple years ago. Click on any action in the left list, and then click the "Trace" tab in the upper right to view the exact stack trace where it was dispatched from.

When working on a complex software solution, we often find ourselves scratching our heads over a bug that was reported to us. It's essential to have proper tools to trace the issues which like to hide in our code execution paths. Luckily for the devs using NgRx in their project, the application state is kept in a single location and all the actions that can modify it are easily traceable with some great DevTools. As NgRx adheres to the redux pattern, we can use the same Redux DevTools as we would use for any other Redux base application. This tool is essential for me when debugging an NgRx based application.

If any react noobs are reading this, the best React state management setup for you is Redux+Immer. After some setup, it's easy to use, and the docs are very good and up to date.

When I was learning React, I kept putting off Redux because youtube said it was complicated and you didn't need it after useContext. Big mistake. Our app became more complicated because our state management(useState/useContext) was so simple. Switching to Redux dramatically simplified our most complicated components.

Also, the Redux dev tools extension is a game changer. It lets you see every state change, in order, with traces and diffs.

Pros can obviously make up their own mind. I’ve tried Mobx and the tooling just wasn’t there, but I hear their diffing algos are good.

Fluxor also supports the ReduxDevTools browser extension. To enable it, first install the NuGet package Fluxor.Blazor.Web.ReduxDevTools:

In my example I am using Redux Toolkit and I got a prompt for actions to login and logout the user. If I need more functions, I can simply start typing the name, and Copilot provides the completion. For instance, in the example, I'm adding a function to update the user. And of course at the end of the file it suggests the exports.

Redux Toolkit 2.0

Redux Toolkit 2.0 is almost here! Hopefully shipping by this weekend :) Migration page

I am _thrilled_ to announce that:

Redux Toolkit 2.0 is LIVE!!!

- https://github.com/reduxjs/redux-toolkit/releases/tag/v2.0.0

This major version has new features, faster perf, smaller bundle size, and removes deprecated options.

It's accompanied by majors for all our Redux family packages

## RTK 2.0:

- a new `combineSlices` method for lazy-loading reducers - Updates to `createSlice` to include a `selectors` field and allow defining thunks inside

- Immer 10 w/ faster updates

- Removal of deprecated options

See the migration guide:

- https://redux.js.org/usage/migrations/migrating-rtk-2

All of the Redux libraries now have modernized packaging with full ESM/CJS compat. They also ship modern JS (no transpiling for IE11), which means smaller bundle sizes.

We've also done byte-shaving work to shrink the bundles (extracting error messages, de-duping imports)

## Redux core 5.0:

- The TS conversion we did in 2019!

- Action types _must_ be strings

- `UnknownAction` as the default action type

- Better preloaded state types

- Internal subscription improvements

- Still marks `createStore` as deprecated!

- https://github.com/reduxjs/redux/releases/tag/v5.0.0

## React-Redux 9.0:

- *Now requires React 18 and RTK 2.0 / Redux 5.0*

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:

- https://github.com/reduxjs/redux-toolkit/releases/tag/v2.0.0...

- https://github.com/reduxjs/redux/releases/tag/v5.0.0-rc.1

However, Redux, or pure Redux to be specific, can be quite verbose and boilerplate-heavy. It requires a significantly lengthy setup, which is where Redux Toolkit comes in handy, offering a simplified and more efficient way to set up and manage state in your React applications.

State manager is a tool or library that helps manage the state of an application. It provides a centralized store or container for storing and managing data that can be accessed and updated by different components in the application. A state manager solves several problems. Firstly, it is a good practice to separate data and the logic related to it from components. Secondly, when using local state and passing it between components, the code can become convoluted due to the potential for deep nesting of components. By having a global store, we can access and modify data from any component. Alongside React Context, Redux or MobX are commonly used as state management libraries. Learn more Learn more
