What is @types/react-redux?
The @types/react-redux package provides TypeScript type definitions for the react-redux library, which allows React components to interact with a Redux store. It enables type checking and IntelliSense for react-redux functions and components when using TypeScript.
What are @types/react-redux's main functionalities?
Provider Component Typing
The Provider component makes the Redux store available to any nested components that need to access the Redux store.
import { Provider } from 'react-redux';
import { store } from './store';
const App = () => (
<Provider store={store}>
{/* Your app components go here */}
</Provider>
);
connect Function Typing
The connect function connects a React component to the Redux store. It provides type checking for the mapStateToProps and mapDispatchToProps arguments, as well as the component's props.
import { connect } from 'react-redux';
interface Props {
todos: string[];
}
const TodoList: React.FC<Props> = ({ todos }) => (
<ul>{todos.map(todo => <li key={todo}>{todo}</li>)}</ul>
);
const mapStateToProps = (state: RootState) => ({
todos: state.todos
});
export default connect(mapStateToProps)(TodoList);
Hooks Typing
TypeScript types for the useSelector and useDispatch hooks from react-redux, which allow you to access the state and dispatch actions in a type-safe manner.
import { useSelector, useDispatch } from 'react-redux';
import { RootState } from './store';
const TodoList = () => {
const todos = useSelector((state: RootState) => state.todos);
const dispatch = useDispatch();
// Use dispatch with type-checked actions
// ...
return <ul>{todos.map(todo => <li key={todo}>{todo}</li>)}</ul>;
};
Other packages similar to @types/react-redux
mobx-react
mobx-react provides React bindings for MobX, which is a state management library. It is similar to react-redux in that it allows React components to react to state changes, but it uses observables rather than a single store and actions.
zustand
zustand is a small, fast, and scalable bearbones state-management solution using simplified flux principles. Unlike react-redux, it doesn't require a Provider component or connect function, and it uses hooks for state management.
recoil
Recoil is a state management library for React that provides several capabilities similar to Redux. It allows you to manage global state with a more React-like API using atoms and selectors, which can be seen as an alternative to the Redux pattern.
