React components connected to Redux can turn out pretty complex. Thus most people think that testing these complex components can turn out very complex as well. But it shouldn't be complex at all, if you take full control of the Redux store in your integration/unit test for the React component. I will use only Jest in this brief testing tutorial…

The following implementation shows you how to integrate Redux Persist into Next.js with a quick example. First, the installation of the library on the command line: Second, rather than having a straightforward function which creates our Redux store, we distinguish between server-side and client-side Redux store. In the case of the client-side…

The previous tutorial series covered a lot of ground for Firebase in React. So far, it was fine to rely only on React's local state and React's Context API. This tutorial dives into using Redux on top of React and Firebase for state management. You will exchange React's local state (e.g. users on admin page, messages on home page) and React's…

Even though I have written a book about Redux in React, it may be too heavy on the subject for someone who wants only to try out a React Redux tutorial. That's why I extracted this chapter from my book to be read as a tutorial for beginners on my website for free to learn the basics about Redux and Redux in React. And who knows, if you want to dig…

In a previous application, you have used Apollo Link State to substitute React's local state management with it. Even though it wasn't necessary, because it is most often sufficient to manage local state with React only, it has shown you how it can be achieved with local queries and local mutations when using Apollo Link State. However, it needs to…

For quite some time now, I have been implementing applications in React and Redux. Over the last few years, I have written two ebooks about it and released a course platform for learning React and its ecosystem. The course platform is even built in React and Redux . My personal learnings are subjective, but I thought they may help people to learn…

I am excited to launch my course The Road to Redux . I worked on the course for the last 6 months and squeezed every of my free minutes during a workweek, weekends and holidays into it. For instance, when writing the book, I woke up two hours earlier before my 9 to 5 job to write ~750 qualitative words a day. It continued by building a platform…

State management is difficult. A view library, such as React, enables you to manage local component state. But it only scales to a certain point. React is just a view layer library. Eventually you decide to move on to a more sophisticated state management solution such as Redux. Yet there are certain things, that I want to point out in this article…

This article will show you the basic steps to use Redux Saga as side-effect library for asynchronous actions in NextJs. I am no expert in server-side rendering, so maybe you as a reader have more insights that you want to share in the comments. Recently I used Next.js for a server-rendered React.js application. It comes with its open source…
