Understanding Generator Functions & Using Redux Saga

In the first half of the video, Omer walks us through generator functions and their use cases. He discusses how generator functions can be paused and re-started, how to use the yield keyword, and how to iterate through a generator function with example code.

In the second half, Omer discusses a redux middleware library known as redux-saga, which takes advantage of generator functions. He helps us understand the main benefits of using redux-saga, which include a synchronous looking workflow, complex layering of actions, and isolation of side effects.

Much better, useful and concise than redux-saga documentation. Thanks a lot.

So the benefits over thunks is that it isolates side-effects away from actions so your actions become easier to test? Downside is you need to get that generator functions concept.

To the point and no bs! Great presentation!

[tusharsinghal]

can you please share the deck used in this video, this was a very clean explanation.

[steverogers]

This is a great explanation of how Redux-Saga works. Great presentation.

[rediettadesse]

One of the best explanations of saga, Thank you!!!

[santosharakere]

Great presentation. To the point and very very clear. Thank you.

[aitfrihaZaid]

Thanks a lot for this explanation. I have only one question in generator function when the first yield finish who call the second yield put ? i think we must have .next() some where

[RealEstateD]

Crazy enough.... but this still is the best explanation of sagas ... and btw generators also .. yield* with the asterisk I even never saw in practice

[NguyenNguyen-theo]

thank you, your presentation really makes my day 😀

[Faaaaaaaaaaaaz]

Why not to use async/await? These generators in saga makes code unreadable

[agacini]

one of the clearest explanation ever. thank you so much!

[subeshbhandari]

Does saga run on separate thread (web worker) or the same main thread?

[vinzbrain]

Good presentation. I am not completely sold though. Most of the points he makes can be covered by using async/await in thunks.

[mmsikoras]

Very nice explanation without not needed complexity. Thanks

[Abdullahtariq]

The best resource on redux-saga so far

[vishvajeetsingh]

Can someone please tell me how yield select and yield fork works?? +FullStack Academy

[vanesaflores]

Question for anyone able to answer: Can you use Saga (just Saga) with React's Context API? (the Context API is another way to manage state instead of using Redux)

[effeKtSVK]

Agree with the guys below me, helped me too, I just hope I will be able to implement it into a React Native project now :D I couldn't find any docs on that, unfortunately

[SteveSonoa]

This is a fantastic resource. Thank you!!!
