Discussion on: Should You Learn Redux?

[Nick Taylor]

One thing I'd also add about redux is the amazing tooling via the Redux DevTools.

Redux DevTools Extension

Installation

1. For Chrome

• from Chrome Web Store;
• or download extension.zip from last releases, unzip, open chrome://extensions url and turn on developer mode from top left and then click; on Load Unpacked and select the extracted folder for use
• or build it with npm i && npm run build:extension and load the extension's folder ./build/extension;
• or run it in dev mode with npm i && npm start and load the extension's folder ./dev.

2. For Firefox

• from Mozilla Add-ons;
• or build it with npm i && npm run build:firefox and load the extension's folder ./build/firefox (just select a file from inside the dir).

3. For Electron

• just specify REDUX_DEVTOOLS in electron-devtools-installer.

4. For other browsers and non-browser environment

• use remote-redux-devtools.

Usage

Note that starting from v2.7, window.devToolsExtension was renamed to window.__REDUX_DEVTOOLS_EXTENSION__ / window.__REDUX_DEVTOOLS_EXTENSION_COMPOSE__.

The Redux devtools is amazing. I have nothing but good things to say about it.

I think this is fitting as well

I don't know who out here needs to hear this but if you are replacing redux with "just context" without carefully considering your domain model and where it should live in the React tree you've just invented a worse redux

Ha! I was wondering if I should add that to this post when I was writing it. I could've used you as an editor!

But yes, Jani makes a great point.
