The resultant in a State ADT instance can be used as a means of communication between different stateful transactions. It can be used to read and transform a portion of our state into a form that another transaction is dependent on. This allows us to…
By using the State ADT to define how our application state transitions over time, we clear up the need for a some of the boilerplate that we typically need for a solid Redux integration. We can keep our action names and creators in the same file as t…
The typical Redux Reducer is function that takes in the previous state and an action and uses a switch case to determine how to transition the provided State. We can take advantage of the Action Names being Strings and replace the typical switch case…
With our Redux implementation lousy with State ADT based reducers, it is time to hook it all up to a React Shell. Having already built out some UI/UX in React that is connected to our store, we’ll spend the first part of this lesson with a quick tour…
With a well defined demarcation point between Redux and our State ADT based model, hooking up to a Redux store is no different than any other Redux based implementation. Once we have all of our transitions represented in dispatchable actions, we can…
Not only will we need to give our initial state to a Redux store, we will also need to be able to reset our state at any time by dispatching an action. We can get the best of both worlds by having a function that will return an object with all of our…
Redux provides a convenient helper for combining many reducers called combineReducer, but it focuses in on specific attributes on our state, making it incompatible with using the State ADT. We would like a way to avoid keeping all of our reducers in…
When combining multiple State ADT instances that depend on the same input, using chain can become quite burdensome. We end up having to play leapfrog with values inside of nested chain statements. Very reminiscent of the old callback nastiness we had…
Many times we need to access and transform state, either in part or in full, to be used when calculating other state transitions. We will look at how we can leverage the get function on the State ADT to read and modify portions of our application sta…
When developing a Finite State Machine, it is often necessary to apply multiple transitions in tandem. To accomplish this in most Redux work flows requires at best, implementing multiple action handlers in separate reducers; or at worse, the need to…
