Steps to handle data fetching in React-Redux

Step 1: Create a new React project using Create React App. Open your terminal and run the following command:

npx create-react-app myapp

Step 2: Switching into App directory:

cd myapp

Step 3: Install Redux and React-Redux dependencies:

npm install redux react-redux redux-thunk @reduxjs/toolkit

Step 4: Choose Your Approach:

Depending on the chosen approach (Thunk Middleware, Redux Saga, or Redux Toolkit), install the necessary dependencies:

Thunk Middleware: npm install redux-thunk
Redux Saga: npm install redux-saga
Redux Toolkit: npm install @reduxjs/toolkit

Step 3: Configure Redux Store:

Set up your Redux store with the chosen approach and any additional middleware required.

Step 4: Write Data Fetching Logic:

Create action creators or sagas to handle data fetching operations.

Step 5: Integrate with Components:

Connect Redux store to your React components using the connect higher-order component or React-Redux hooks.

Project Structure:

The updated dependencies in package.json file will look like:

"dependencies": {
    "redux": "^4.1.0",
    "react-redux": "^7.2.4",
    "redux-thunk": "^2.3.0",  // If using Thunk Middleware
    "redux-saga": "^1.1.3"    // If using Redux Saga
}

Example: Below is the code example to show how to handle data fetching:

Step to Run the App:

npm start

Output:

Data fetching in React-Redux applications is a common requirement to retrieve data from APIs or other sources and use it within your components.

This article explores various approaches to handling data fetching in React-Redux applications, providing examples and explanations for each approach.
