Functional Reactive Programming with React, Redux, and TypeScript
I have chosen Redux among other React-friendly state managers (Apollo Link State, Unstated, Mobx) and native hooks (useEffect, useMemo, useState, useReducer) because working with Angular got me used to NGRX and NGXS. I feel convenient with the way Redux organizes state management and defines store, actions and reducers separately from component logic.
