Redux is a well-known open-source toolkit for managing state in JavaScript apps.
It provides a way to centralize the state of an application in a single store, making it easier to debug, test, and reason about the state changes in the application.
Redux handles a number of problems that come up in complicated front-end apps:
- State Management: Keeping track of the application's state in Central place.
- Predictable State Changes: Data flows in one way for clarity.
- Debugging: Use Redux DevTools to inspect at the history of the state.
- Asynchronous Logic: Uses middleware like Redux Thunk/Saga to handle async tasks.
- Tracking and Undo/Redo: Keeps track of the history of the state for debugging time travel.
Use Cases of Redux
