Summary

In this chapter, you learned about Flux, a set of architectural patterns that aid in building information architecture for your React application. The key ideas with Flux involve unidirectional data flow, synchronous update rounds, and predictable state transformations.

Next, we walked through a detailed implementation of a Redux/React application. Redux provides a simplified implementation of Flux ideas. The benefit is predictability everywhere.

Then, we discussed whether or not Redux has what it takes to build scalable architectures for our React applications. The answer is yes, for the most part. For the remainder of this book, however, we're going to explore Relay and GraphQL to see if these technologies can scale our applications to ...
