What is Redux and why do we use it?
Redux is used mostly for application state management. To summarize it, Redux maintains the state of an entire application in a single immutable state tree (object), which can’t be changed directly. When something changes, a new object is created (using actions and reducers).
What is Redux in simple words?
Redux is a predictable state container for JavaScript apps. It helps you write applications that behave consistently, run in different environments (client, server, and native), and are easy to test. You can use Redux together with React, or with any other view library.
What is state Redux?
A state in Redux is a JavaScript object, where the internal state of the application is stored as its properties, e.g. which user is logged on. After having logged in, the user of your application may navigate to different pages in your application, but you need to remember somehow, who that user is.
When and why to use Redux?
React app state management. The main advantage of React web apps over static websites is their interactivity.
What are the advantages of using Redux with react?
Master/Detail Views. Some components may need to access the same state but display it in different ways.
Can Redux be used on the server?
Redux can be used for any application that places a high priority on the ability to predictably store states. It should be clear that Redux can be used for the client side (frontend) with user interfaces. However, since Redux is just JavaScript, it can also be used on the server side (backend).
Why is Redux useful?
Easy debugging and testing. You can use the Redux DevTools or log the state to understand better what’s happening in your application.
