Sagas are a great power tool, but I personally wouldn't use them for most simple API requests, largely because of the need for "signal actions" to trigger the logic. You might want to check out our new `redux-starter-kit` package [0], which can simplify some common use cases for things like action creators and reducers. There's also many other existing libraries to handle repetitive code like API requests as well [1].

Funny you should mention that :) There's a lot of existing libraries out there that will indeed generate action creators, reducers, etc (see my Redux addons list [0] for examples). One of the most interesting ones I've seen is Eric Elliott's `autodux` project [1], which does some clever bits of handling inside a `createSlice()` function. Earlier this year, I put together a new project called `redux-starter-kit`] [2]. Its goal is to simplify several common use cases with Redux usage, including store setup, reducer definitions and immutable update logic, and default behavior out of the box. While we don't plan to add these things to the Redux core itself, `redux-starter-kit` is an official Redux-branded library, and we're going to start encouraging that people use it in most situations. We just added a `createSlice` function to `redux-sta

I'd also really appreciate some feedback on how well it works, and any additional ideas for things the starter kit should include!

Depends on what your definition of "magic" is. For example, we specifically have a "Reducing Boilerplate" docs page [0] that talks about writing reusable logic for reducers and action creators, like "higher order reducers" or a `createReducer()` util that accepts a lookup table of action types to handler functions. There's many existing libs that implement this kind of pattern [1]. Beyond that, there's other libraries that provide a higher level of abstraction, like automatically generating logic to handle common use cases (normalizing data, updating certain fields, etc) [2]. Updating data immutably can become complex [3], so there's a lot of immutable update utility libraries out there [4]. I recommend Immer [5], which lets you write normal mutative code but then applies the updates immutably. Finally, there's frameworks built on top o

Yeah, that gets _wayyyyy_ past what I want to do. There are quite a few existing libs for doing data fetching and collection management ( https://github.com/markerikson/redux-ecosystem-links/blob/ma... ), ranging from simple normalized reducers to complex "auto fetch from a REST or JSON-API and provide full CRUD support" libs. I simply don't understand the complaints about switch statements myself, but it keeps coming up, so it seemed like a simple enough starting point for a "starter kit" library like this.
In Redux – Not Dead Yet
acemarke·Mar 11, 2018Recommendation phrase
I'll agree with the "nothing magical" statement, but I disagree with most of the rest of that comment. Certainly there's nothing "magical" about Redux. After all, the core `createStore` function can be written in about 25 lines if you leave out error handling, and the entire core lib in about 100 lines [0]. React-Redux does have a ton of optimization work internally, but conceptually it's pretty simple too - components subscribe to the store, call getState(), extract what they need, and re-render [1]. And that's the great thing: Redux is, as its tagline says, "a _predictable_ state container" - there _is no magic_ involved. What a lot of people don't seem to realize is that the Redux core is a _starting point_. One of my favorite quotes is: > "Redux is a platform for developers to build customized state management for their use-cases, w

hile being able to reuse things like the graphical debugger or middleware" We encourage Redux users to use whatever abstractions are appropriate for their own applications, including writing their own. In addition, Redux was designed from the ground up to be extensible [2]. As a result, the Redux ecosystem has exploded. My Redux addons catalog [3] lists somewhere around 2000 Redux-related libraries, utilities, and tools, ranging from action/reducer generation utils to side effects management addons to abstractions for fetching data from REST APIs. I've seen dozens of "Redux, but.." knockoffs. Most of them wind up throwing away the key design decisions that make Redux special. In particular, the concepts of plain object actions and reducer functions are what truly enable time-travel debugging and easy serialization of state. My current estimate is that somewhere between 50-60% of React apps currently use Redux. Redux has gained adoption in the Angular, Ember, and Vue communities as well, and inspired dozens of similar libraries, like NgRx, VueX, and more. Sure, I expect that some of that "market share" will slip over time, especially with the release of the new React context API soon. But, I also feel safe in saying that Redux will be around for a long time. [0] https://gist.github.com/gaearon/ffd88b0e4f00b22c3159 [1] https://gist.github.com/gaearon/1d19088790e70ac32ea636c025ba...

acemarke·Jan 25, 2018
Yeah, generally what's needed for data updates is _nested shallow copies_, not a deep copy. I talked about this in the "Immutable Update Patterns" section of the Redux docs [0], and the articles in the "Immutable Data" section of my React/Redux links list [1] give more examples of how to handle data immutably in JS. There's dozens of immutable update utility libraries available [2]. The one that I'm really excited about right now is a new library called Immer [3], from MobX author Michel Weststrate. It uses ES6 proxies to let you write normal mutative code in a callback, then applies the updates immutably. It looks like it should simplify a lot of common immutable update use cases, like in Redux reducers. [0] https://redux.js.org/docs/recipes/reducers/ImmutableUpdatePa...

Redux is actually used noticeably outside of the React community. Redux can be used with any UI layer, and there's bindings for many frameworks and UI layers besides React [0]. Redux has picked up popularity within the Angular community, both in its original form and the NgRx reimplementation. The ember-redux bindings are also starting to gain a bit of a following. Vue's VueX lib is inspired by Redux, and there's Vue-specific bindings for Redux itself. [0] https://github.com/markerikson/redux-ecosystem-links/blob/ma...

Have you looked at any of the existing libraries in the ecosystem?

Ultimately, you can put as much or as little abstraction on top of Redux as you want. [0] https://github.com/markerikson/redux-ecosystem-links/blob/ma...

Really neat to see how Redux's design and extensibility make this kind of action serialization and store synchronization possible. There was another similar example recently where someone was synchronizing multiplayer game states via Redux actions [0]. There's actually quite a few addons available related to store synchronization [1].
