You must already know how to use React for this tutorial, as I will not be explaining any aspects of React itself.
Also, download Redux DevTools for Chrome or for FireFox.
In this tutorial, we will build a small blog app. It will fetch posts and comments from an API. I've created the same app with both plain Redux, and Redux Toolkit (RTK), the officially sanctioned toolset for Redux. Here are the links to the source and demos of both the plain and RTK versions.
Note: The applications are pulling from a real API via JSON Placeholder API. Due to rate limiting on CodeSandbox, the API may appear slow, but it has nothing to do with the Redux application itself. You can also clone the repository locally.
Redux is a state container for JavaScript applications. Normally with React, you manage state at a component level, and pass state around via props. With Redux, the entire state of your application is managed in one immutable object. Every update to the Redux state results in a copy of sections of the state, plus the new change.
Redux was originally created by Dan Abramov and Andrew Clark.
The downside to Redux is that there's a lot of initial boilerplate to set up and maintain (especially if you use plain Redux without Redux Toolkit). A smaller application may not need Redux and may instead benefit from simply using the Context API for global state needs.
In my personal experience, I set up an application with Context alone, and later needed to convert everything over to Redux to make it more maintainable and organized.
Usually I don't like to just make a list of terms and definitions, but Redux has a few that are likely unfamiliar, so I'm just going to define them all up front to make it easy to refer back to them. Although you can skip to the beginning of the tutorial section, I think it would be good to read through all the definitions just to get exposure and an idea of them in your head first.
I'll just use the typical todo application, and the action of deleting a todo, for the examples.
Article covers: How native is react native?, React Native vs (Ionic, Cordova), Similarities and difference between React Native and Native App Development.
A simple guide to learn how to use React & Redux to build a basic shopping cart app. Ok, so you may have heard of React and Redux since they’ve been all over the place lately.

React Redux Tutorial will help you in understanding the fundamentals of Redux and help you in implementing Redux with React. Redux is an essential library that helps in state management throughout a React Web Application.
React Native Redux Example Tutorial From Scratch. We connect the React Native app to Redux store to save and retrieve the application data.
Redux is a light weighted State Management Tool that helps the components in our React App to communicate with each other. The simple concept behind this is that every state of the component is kept in a store that will be global. So that every component can access any state from that store.
