React Redux Tutorials - 11 - Middleware

Middleware

---

• is the suggested way to extend Redux with custom functionality.
• provides a third-party extention point between dispatching an action, and the moment it reaches the reducer.
• is used for logging, crash reporting, performing asynchronous tasks, etc.

Redux Logger

Redux logger logs all the information related to Redux in the application. npm | redux-logger

npm install redux-logger

// (1) require redux-logger
const reduxLogger = require('redux-logger');
const applyMiddleware = redux.applyMiddleware;
const logger = reduxLogger.createLogger();

• Redux library provides a function called applyMiddleware which is used to apply middleware.

// (2) pass applyMiddleware in a second parameter to the createStore function.
const store = createStore(rootReducer, applyMiddleware(logger));

// (3) remove console.log statement, as we have the logger middleware to handle all of that.
// const unsubscribe = store.subscribe(() => console.log('Updated state', store.getState());
const unsubscribe = store.subscribe(() => {})
