Async Redux library (redux-thunk alternatives)

[gondar00]

Hi. Thank you for this amazing tutorial.

Why have you chosen redux-thunk over redux-saga?

[verekia]

Good question :)

Generators might be a little too intense for people who are not well-versed in JS, and redux-thunk is kind of the "official" way to deal with async actions. The Redux chapter is already the most difficult one. I might replace it by redux-saga in the future if there is a strong demand though.

Did you consider Redux Pack ?

The fact that there is 2 different libraries proposed in 2 messages, answers by itself :) Redux-thunk is the logical way to go for a beginner as it's in the Redux doc and most of the tutorials are using it.

...and here's a third candidate: redux-promise :)

And another option: redux-loop.

Links to all options mentioned so far:

• redux-thunk
• redux-saga
• redux-pack
• redux-promise
• redux-loop

I agree that Redux Thunk is the best choice for basic async workflow. I don't see enough benefit to be using Redux Saga unless the async behaviour becomes quite complex.

I thought redux-observable is a worthy alternative
