Overview of this book

Starting with a detailed overview of Redux, we will follow the test-driven development (TDD) approach to develop single-page applications. We will set up JEST for testing and use JEST to test React, Redux, Redux-Sage, Reducers, and other components. We will then add important middleware and set up immutableJS in our application. We will use common data structures such as Map, List, Set, and OrderedList from the immutableJS framework. We will then add user interfaces using ReactJS, Redux-Form, and Ant Design. We will explore the use of react-router-dom and its functions. We will create a list of routes that we will need in order to create our application, and explore routing on the server site and create the required routes for our application. We will then debug our application and integrate Redux Dev tools. We will then set up our API server and create the API required for our application. We will dive into a modern approach to structuring our server site components in terms of Model, Controller, Helper functions, and utilities functions. We will explore the use of NodeJS with Express to build the REST API components. Finally, we will venture into the possibilities of extending the application for further research, including deployment and optimization.

redux-saga middleware


redux-saga is a third-party JavaScript library that helps to easily and efficiently manage an application's side effects, including asynchronous activities such as fetching data and accessing browser cache. 

Mukhiya and Hung outline the essential importance of using redux-saga in a web application. We can use the image used in this paper as a reference to better understand the need for redux-saga. To explain it in one sentence, we can say that redux-saga is responsible for handling side effects. Saga uses ES6 Generators (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/function*) to make asynchronous flows easy to read, write, and test. If you are not familiar with generators, it would be best to pause before the next section and read up on them. Here is a couple of suggested articles: https://redux-saga.js.org/docs/ExternalResources.html.

Basically, generators are functions that provide the flexibility to be paused and resumed rather than...
