Thank you for all you do for Redux! My biggest struggle with using connect was setting up the mapDispatchToProps function. I'm not sure why maybe I was just so overwhelmed with all the other moving pieces of Redux that it was the straw that broke the camel's back. With hooks, it felt a bit more natural and easy to understand for me. I want this state so just use the hook to grab a specific piece and then I want to dispatch an action so just call dispatch with a specific action. Fewer steps made it a bit easier for me to work with since it was broken down into more manageable pieces.
Yeah, I get what you're saying. It's just interesting to see how connect is sometimes described as being a lot harder to understand. mapState and useSelector are basically equivalent. mapDispatch is admittedly doing a couple more steps than useDispatch, but ultimately the behavior is the same (and really code like () => dispatch(increaseVote(anime.id) is actually doing some work that mapDispatch did for you.)
FWIW, I'm working on a major rewrite of the Redux core docs, and my next step is to add a new tutorial page that teaches Redux Toolkit and the React-Redux hooks as the default way to use Redux. It'll be interesting to see how that turns out.
I think because 'connect' is actually where the magic happen. We do not see any code but our components gets store and functions from redux. I think also from the javascript point of view it's not common and easy to read somethings like function(function, function)(function)
Can't wait to use the toolkit in my next project!
