The focus of the course is on managing state in an application. You will learn about Redux and the Redux ecosystem as a powerful tool to help you accomplish this. You will also learn how to use advanced testing techniques using JEST.
Overview
Syllabus
- Introduction to the Course
- We will look at the course design, prerequisites, tools you'll use in the course, and take a preview look at the final project.
- Managing State
- You’ll learn techniques to make your state more predictable by moving your state to a central location and establishing strict rules for getting, listening, and updating that state.
- UI plus Redux
- You’ll learn to move away from having state live in the DOM by creating a vanilla JavaScript application whose state is managed entirely by Redux.
- Redux Middleware
- You’ll learn to create custom middleware and add it to your Redux store. This middleware will allow you to enhance your store by hooking into and intercepting actions before they reach any reducers.
- Redux with React
- You’ll learn how to add React to a Redux application and have the state of that application be managed by Redux.
- Asynchronous Redux
- You’ll learn to better abstract asynchronous events by creating your own custom Thunk middleware and adding it to your store.
- React-Redux Bindings
- You’ll learn to leverage the react-redux bindings in order to leverage the benefits of a UI library like React and a state management library like Redux.
- Implementing React plus Redux
- You’ll take your knowledge of Redux and utilize it by building a real-world Redux application. You’ll also learn advanced Redux topics like reducer composition and normalization.
- Testing with Jest
- We will learn how to install and run JEST using synch and async functions, use snapshots, and perform DOM tests with React Testing Library.
- Project: Employee Polls Web App
- HR needs a web app to create polls for employees to post and respond to scenario questions. Employees vote on responses and the dashboard lists employees by the number of polls created and answered.
