Overview of this book

Microsoft's ASP.NET Core is a robust and high-performing cross-platform web API framework, and Facebook's React uses declarative JavaScript to drive a rich, interactive user experience on the client-side web. Together, they can be used to build full stack apps with enhanced security and scalability at each layer. This book will start by taking you through React and TypeScript components to build an intuitive single-page application. You’ll understand how to design scalable REST APIs that can integrate with a React-based frontend. You’ll get to grips with the latest features, popular patterns, and tools available in the React ecosystem, including function-based components, React Router, and Redux. The book shows how you can use TypeScript along with React to make the frontend robust and maintainable. You’ll then cover important .NET Core features such as API controllers, attribute routing, and model binding to help you build a sturdy backend. Additionally, you’ll explore API security with ASP.NET Core identity and authorization policies, and write reliable unit tests using both .NET Core and React before you deploy your app to the Azure cloud. By the end of the book, you’ll have gained all the knowledge you need to enhance your C# and JavaScript skills and build full stack, production-ready applications with ASP.NET Core and React.

Installing Redux and Redux Thunk

Before we can use Redux, we need to install it, along with the TypeScript types. We will also install an additional library called Redux Thunk, which we need in order to implement asynchronous actions. Let's look at the steps to install Redux:

  1. If we haven't already, let's open our project in Visual Studio Code from where we left off in the previous chapter. We can install the core Redux library via the Terminal with the following command:
> npm install redux

Note that the core Redux library contains TypeScript types within it, so there is no need for an additional install for these.

  1. Now, let's install the React-specific bits for Redux in the Terminal with the following command:
> npm install react-redux

These bits allow us to connect our React components to the Redux store.

  1. Let's also install the TypeScript...
