Redux

redux - Redux is a key tool used in managing state across an application. This can be used with any web technology including React, Vue and Angular docs

Redux is a client-state library.

Reducer-based: requires dispatching actions to update a big centralised state, often called a “single source of truth”. In this group, we have Redux and Zustand.

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*

DEV is a Rails monolith, which uses Preact in the front-end using islands architecture. The reason why I mention all this is that it's not a full-stack JavaScript application, and there is no state management library like Redux or Zustand in use. The data store, for the most part on the front end, is all data attributes.

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

This article serves as your comprehensive guide to mastering the art of combining Bootstrap and React seamlessly. Dive in to uncover the tips, tricks, and best practices to elevate your UI design game effortlessly.

Bootstrap is already a popular framework among the web developers. And, these free templates makes it even more convenient to use Bootstrap in your projects.

Tailwind is great, but creating everything from scratch is annoying. A nice base of components which can be extended with tailwind would be great. There are a few tailwind frameworks like Flowbite, Daisy Ui, but I like Bulma, PicoCSS and Bootstrap.

In the JavaScript world, tread cautiously on this passionate topic. https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/issues/3057

To effectively demonstrate Secutio's capabilities for rapid web development, we've chosen the popular Bootstrap framework as a foundation. Bootstrap provides a robust and user-friendly interface, making it an ideal choice for building the project's base.

With all this preamble out of the way, we can finally focus on the app. To make it easier to build a not-awful-looking website, I installed the dash-bootstrap-components which give us access to a variety of components from the bootstrap frontend framework. This will make styling and building the app easier.

For CSS, Bootstrap is the go-to framework for many developers. But there are other popular ones too, like Angular, React, and Vue. You don't have to learn every single framework out there—just pick the ones that are most relevant to your projects and match current industry trends and your learning preferences.

For those unfamiliar with Tailwind CSS, it is a utility-first framework with pre-defined classes for you to create custom designs. Before its creation, developers who wrote CSS were limited to two options: either writing custom CSS or using a toolkit like Bootstrap. However, both approaches came with drawbacks. Writing custom CSS was a lot of work, and using Bootstrap limited you in styling unless you added custom CSS on top.

To make the demo more interesting, we will use the Bootstrap framework and Flask as the backend.
