Managing application state is a critical skill in React development. In this tutorial, you will build a To-Do List application using React and Redux Toolkit, learning how to efficiently manage state in a structured way.
📌 AI Prompt: "What is Redux?"
📌 AI Prompt: "How is Redux different from useState?"
📌 AI Prompt: "What is Redux Toolkit?"
A basic to-do list can be built using React’s useState
, but as applications grow, managing state across multiple components becomes complex. Redux Toolkit provides a centralized way to manage state, ensuring:
- ✅ A single source of truth for to-dos across components.
- ✅ Predictable state updates using reducers and actions.
- ✅ Scalability, allowing easy expansion with filters, priorities, and persistence.
This tutorial is designed for developers who:
- ✅ Have basic React knowledge (components,
useState
,useEffect
). - ✅ Want to learn Redux Toolkit for structured state management.
- ✅ Are comfortable with JavaScript ES6+ (
map
,filter
, arrow functions`).
By the end of this tutorial, you will be able to:
- ✅ Use Redux Toolkit (
configureStore
,createSlice
) to manage state. - ✅ Connect Redux to React using
useSelector
anduseDispatch
. - ✅ Implement actions and reducers to handle adding, updating, and deleting tasks.
- ✅ Enhance the to-do app with state persistence, filters, and sorting.
📌 AI Reflection Prompt: "Why might Redux be useful for state management instead of React’s useState
?"
- ✅ Add tasks dynamically.
- ✅ Mark tasks as completed or active.
- ✅ Delete tasks.
- ✅ Display task list from Redux state.
- ✅ Store tasks persistently (Stretch Goal).
- React for building UI components.
- Redux Toolkit for state management.
- React-Redux for connecting Redux to React components.
📌 AI Debugging Prompt: "What happens if I modify state directly in a Redux reducer?"
