This is the best intro tutorial on redux on youtube so far.

You make things easier to understand, and your explanations are still thorough. I really appreciate that!

Hi Max, if I get the gist of it correctly, the core idea of Redux is that it is essentially a pub/sub type of utility? For publishing events and subscribing, in order to make the cross-component communication possible without explicitly exporting objects/vars etc and passing them as arguments into other components (functions/classes).

developer knows the pain of other developer. great work

[vipzip]

So this is basically like a service in angular?

[rhogyr]

You have a great way of explaining things!

By far a very simple explanation about redux on yt.

Sounds kind of like an entity component system used in game programming. I feel like maybe at some point we should just ditch HTML entirely. We are no longer sending documents down the wire to be read by clients, the browser probably needs to be an entire virtual operating system that connects to servers like in a unix sort of way. It seems to me we're kind of half assing this all, using a poor language (javascript) to generate html. We should just abstract out the html entirely or turn the browser into something more universally useful and functional than something that mainly displays markup language. Sure it's efficient for many I guess most websites that act simply as documents, but now even documents aren't so simple -- being assembled bit by bit --a header here a navbar etc updated piecewise as needed. I don't know there just seems like there could be a much easier and clearer way to do all of this. And it seems like every improvement is aimed at trying to overcome the limitations imposed by the fact we're using a markup language designed for a more limited purpose 30 years ago. It seems as if we are constantly trying to overcome the restrictions and limited vision inherit by http and html. The browser is almost functioning as its own operating system and less like an application. We have plugins, it runs things like flash, webgl etc. I don't know it seems like something needs to improve because we are attempting to make the web into what it is not, something made to run applications and thus we will always be stuck with things like react which try to find inventive ways around these limitations.

Best video I've found. Thanks!!! Redux

Short and sweet:) the after long time got the concept, One store/State for all the components! No wandering with local state from method to method, just one main state grab the state, use the data and update the state!Am i ri8?

By far the best video series i have ever watched, just finished the react.js series and i understand everthing better. Thank you very much. I have been tryng to learn react for 3 months and i understood it in a week with ur videoss...

this is useful, likie the bindings in xamarin, even if the application is too simple to benefit from redux, if there is the possibility for the application to grow in size and complexity it would start getting the benefits, many application start simple but evolve or get integrated into larger projects or simply get new functionalities added

[theromie]

Simple and clear. How can I secure react application with token and refresh token as I am using NodeJS as backend API. and how to persist token in memory so even I refresh it should check refresh token in backend and generate new Auth token and refresh token back.

i'm from december 2023, and this is so straightforward!

[worldclasscode]

Awesome! Can I get persistent state management with Redux? :) Solving prop drilling can be easily accomplished with Context? :)

[MDALAmin-ugxs]

Well explained. No one explained Redux in such an easy way. Thanks

[artemthetrain]

awesome video. so basically redux allows us to do away with the waterfall of state and props in react, and instead access the store and update the state from our individual components, using these actions

[something]

so instead of notifying the parent for an update; we very simply dispatch an action of a specific action-type that is handled by a reducer that acts on the store that we have to keep track of; sounds so much simpler ._.

[karthikk]

Isn't this similar to using Reactive programming? Basically there is a change that is published and all the interested subscribers are receiving that change?

[ahmedraza]

I really love your way of explaining....
