Lesson Transcript
[00:00 - 00:09] When you work with React, you usually end up with a global state that is accessible across the whole application. One of the ways to make this state available through the whole application is to use the context API.
[00:10 - 00:18] You saw an example of this approach in the first part of this course, where we built a Trello clone. There, we've used it with a useReducer hook to manage the global application state.
[00:19 - 00:28] This approach works, but it can only get you so far. In the end, you will have to invent your own ways to manage side effects, split your code into modules, and debug your code.
[00:29 - 00:34] In such case, it would be a better idea to use a specialized tool. For example, to manage the state, we could use Redux.
[00:35 - 00:47] In this part of the course, we will build a drawing application using Redux and TypeScript, and then we will upgrade it to use Redux Toolkit. This way, you will learn how to work with raw Redux, as well as the most modern techniques for using it.
