this repository contains a few examples of React components that use Redux as their state manager.

in src/components you can find components with simple sync actions as well as other components with more complex async actions that are executed in predictable order.

This is not intended to be a collection of perfect examples or some bullet proof best practices. Each application differs here and there and so there is no one fits-all recipe.

This is intended to showcase possible ways to use redux and how flexible it can be without being too complex or boilerplateful

here you can also find examples of redux-msg. It is a really small "library" of 6 helper functions to help organize redux code. those functions can easily be part of your codebase, here's one:

// createReducer : INITIAL_STATE -> Derivations -> (state, action) -> state
export default initialState => (derivations = {}) =>
  (state = initialState, action) =>
      (derivations[action.type] || (() => state))(state, action);

you don't need to understand everything here, just know that it turns this:

const MODEL = { property: 'old, boring value' };

const reducer = (state = initialState, action) => {
  switch (action.type) {
    case 'YOUR_ACTION':
      return { ...state, property: 'new value, maybe even from ' +
      action.payload }

    default:
      return state;
  }
};

into this:

const { createReducer } from 'redux-msg';

const MODEL = { property: 'old, boring value' }

const reducer = createReducer(MODEL)({
  YOUR_ACTION: (state, action) => ({
    ...state,
    property: 'new value, maybe even from ' + action.payload
  })
})

this helps, cause you don't need returns, no default, no fall-through.

there're many more helpful tips in src/components and so i encourage you to go there and explore.

start with src/component/counter-simple if you need to brush up on how redux is tipically used. then continue to src/components/counter-messages and see how just a few tiny functions can reduce repetition and let you focus solely on state changes.
