Full-stack-skills redux

Provides comprehensive guidance for Redux state management including stores, actions, reducers, middleware, selectors, and Redux Toolkit. Use when the user asks about Redux, needs to manage global state, implement Redux patterns, or work with Redux middleware.

When to use this skill

Use this skill whenever the user wants to:

  • Manage global application state with Redux or Redux Toolkit
  • Create slices with
    createSlice
    and configure the store with
    configureStore
  • Handle asynchronous logic with
    createAsyncThunk
    or RTK Query
  • Use
    useSelector
    and
    useDispatch
    hooks in React components
  • Implement middleware, selectors, and normalized state patterns
  • Migrate from classic Redux to Redux Toolkit

How to use this skill

Workflow

  1. Identify the state domain the user needs to manage
  2. Create a slice using Redux Toolkit's
    createSlice
  3. Configure the store and provide it to the React app
  4. Connect components using
    useSelector
    and
    useDispatch

1. Create a Slice

import { createSlice, PayloadAction } from '@reduxjs/toolkit';

interface CounterState {
  value: number;
}

const initialState: CounterState = { value: 0 };

const counterSlice = createSlice({
  name: 'counter',
  initialState,
  reducers: {
    increment(state) { state.value += 1; },
    decrement(state) { state.value -= 1; },
    incrementByAmount(state, action: PayloadAction<number>) {
      state.value += action.payload;
    },
  },
});

export const { increment, decrement, incrementByAmount } = counterSlice.actions;
export default counterSlice.reducer;

2. Configure the Store

import { configureStore } from '@reduxjs/toolkit';
import counterReducer from './counterSlice';

export const store = configureStore({
  reducer: {
    counter: counterReducer,
  },
});

export type RootState = ReturnType<typeof store.getState>;
export type AppDispatch = typeof store.dispatch;

3. Use in Components

import { useSelector, useDispatch } from 'react-redux';
import { RootState, AppDispatch } from './store';
import { increment, decrement } from './counterSlice';

export function Counter() {
  const count = useSelector((state: RootState) => state.counter.value);
  const dispatch = useDispatch<AppDispatch>();

  return (
    <div>
      <p>Count: {count}</p>
      <button onClick={() => dispatch(increment())}>+</button>
      <button onClick={() => dispatch(decrement())}>-</button>
    </div>
  );
}

4. Async Thunk

import { createAsyncThunk } from '@reduxjs/toolkit';

export const fetchUsers = createAsyncThunk('users/fetch', async () => {
  const response = await fetch('/api/users');
  return response.json();
});

Best Practices

  • Keep state flat and normalized; split reducers by domain
  • Use Redux Toolkit (
    createSlice
    ,
    configureStore
    ) instead of hand-written boilerplate
  • Actions and reducers should be pure functions with no side effects
  • Use
    createAsyncThunk
    or RTK Query for async operations; never fetch in reducers
  • Use typed hooks (
    useAppSelector
    ,
    useAppDispatch
    ) for type-safe access
  • Only store serializable data in the Redux store
