React and Redux

We will look at the course design, prerequisites, tools you'll use in the course, and take a preview look at the final project.

You’ll learn techniques to make your state more predictable by moving your state to a central location and establishing strict rules for getting, listening, and updating that state.

You’ll learn to move away from having state live in the DOM by creating a vanilla JavaScript application whose state is managed entirely by Redux.

You’ll learn to create custom middleware and add it to your Redux store. This middleware will allow you to enhance your store by hooking into and intercepting actions before they reach any reducers.

You’ll learn how to add React to a Redux application and have the state of that application be managed by Redux.

You’ll learn to better abstract asynchronous events by creating your own custom Thunk middleware and adding it to your store.

You’ll learn to leverage the react-redux bindings in order to leverage the benefits of a UI library like React and a state management library like Redux.

You’ll take your knowledge of Redux and utilize it by building a real-world Redux application. You’ll also learn advanced Redux topics like reducer composition and normalization.

We will learn how to install and run JEST using synch and async functions, use snapshots, and perform DOM tests with React Testing Library.
