Day 28 of #100daysofcode: Hands on with Redux

Hey again everybody!

I want to start with a question: Do you know of a fairly complicated/extensive open source project which utilizes Redux? I would love to see some examples of Redux in bigger codebases!

Anyway, on to today's update.

As I expected, things with Redux started to feel a little weird when I started to get hands on with it. Now that I have started to work with Redux a bit, it feels like it would be very, very easy to write messy code with it. I feel like I need to spend some extra time really focusing on learning best practices with Redux. That said, the Redux toolkit is helping a ton with cleaning up potential mistakes.

I really like the general feel of:
1) Create a store for the entire app
2) Create a slice for a feature
3) Create a reducer for a specific function

It feels very familiar (and clean) from an object-oriented point of view, which is nice in this functional programming landscape of Redux.

Today

A bit of Leetcode

Hands on tutorial with Redux

• Sandboxed a bit with the Counter app. Added some additional functions.

Tomorrow

Tomorrow I plan on doing two main things:
1) Learn more about Redux at a high level

Either by digging deeper on documentation or by finding an open source project which uses Redux fairly extensively 2) Try to recreate some of the more complicated state situations I ran into in a previous project. Depending on how this goes, I may share some code snippets.

Upcoming

Continued Leetcode practice and FreeCodeCamp progress

CONTINUED Sandboxing with Redux

Begin the Study Aid app! (soonTM)

Might return to a little Functional Programming discussion

Later in the challenge: AWS Deployment, AWS Certification, and Using Docker!?
