Learn Angularjs, Redux and Tachyons

At a high level Redux is just a dispatching system, sitting atop a finite state machine, driving our application state. It just so happens that the State ADT is good at modeling a finite state machine. It allows us to represent our stateful transactions in discrete, easily composed transactions. We can create complicated stateful transitions by composing many simple transitions into one state transaction. By using the State ADT, we should be able to model all of our application state transitions and provide a single reducer function to Redux that integrates with our state machine model.

We’ll put this theory to the test by building a Memory type game called “Anger The Bunny”.  We start of by defining our state transitions using the State ADT, starting with simple, discrete transactions and using them to create the complex transitions typical of any game. Then once we have a majority of our game logic implemented, we will integrate those with Redux.

Redux is a predictable state container for JavaScript apps.
It helps you write applications that behave consistently, run in different environments (client, server, and native), and are easy to test.

Redux and the State ADT

Redux is a powerful way to manage application state, but that power can come with a lot of code. A single update can sometimes require changes across many files and the code required to define action creators and to handle those actions in your reducer can start to get pretty repetitive.

The redux-actions library offers a small but powerful API to help cut down on some of the boilerplate that is typical of an application that uses Redux to handle state management.

Reduce Redux Boilerplate with Redux-Actions

Working with forms can be laborious, but redux-form takes out the tedium and replaces it with an enjoyable way to create beautifully crafted forms. You get the benefit of integrating form state with an existing Redux application, plus the ability to track the state of your form with precision in Redux DevTools, without writing lots of boilerplate code.

In this course, we will use the redux-form package to create a form whose state is easy and enjoyable to manage. Over 46 minutes and 14 lessons, we will:
* find out how redux-form ties into a React/Redux application
* learn how to use both synchronous and asynchronous validation
* use real-world examples and effective ways of presenting relevant information to the user

Learn to create precise, reusable form components, and enjoy yourself in the process.

React is one of the web’s most popular frameworks for building JavaScript applications. 

If you know what you’re doing, React can drastically simplify how you build, use, and maintain code.

Whether you’re a React newbie or you’re ready for advanced techniques, you can level-up with egghead. Explore our in-depth courses, lessons, and community resources to build more powerful applications and crack open your career.

Manage React Form State with redux-form

***Note: RxJS imports have changed since the publication of this course. Operators now must be passed into `.pipe` to be applied to an observable.***

In this course we will begin with nothing more than an empty directory & a text editor. Through small, focussed lessons we’ll learn how to setup a React project that uses Redux for state management and redux-observable for asynchronous actions. We’ll see how ‘epics’ are registered and how they each receive a ‘stream’ of actions from the store. 

With an understanding of how things work, we’ll move onto solving common problems such as Ajax cancellation, creating sequences of async actions, enabling code reuse through higher-order Observables and much more.

Up and Running with redux-observable

Managing state in modern web applications is hard. As applications grows in complexity, keeping track of state changes and mapping those changes back to your UI becomes increasingly difficult.

One way data flow makes managing state more approachable and lightens the cognitive load required to follow the flow of data through your application. Using Redux takes this idea to the next level and moves the state and the state changes and centralizes them in a global store, managed with pure reducer functions.

In this course you will learn how to build a production quality React application using Redux. We will build up from using redux by itself, so we can understand the core API and how that interacts with a React application, then we’ll move on to introduce `react-redux` to abstract away some of the underlying details and clean up our code. We’ll use middleware and a mocked API server to understand how asynchronous code fits into the Redux model and we’ll even deploy our finished work so we can see it running live in the cloud. 

If you are brand new to React, you’ll want to read the documentation and watch our free [React Fundamentals](https://egghead.io/courses/start-using-react-to-build-web-applications) course and our [Build Your First Production Quality React App](https://egghead.io/courses/build-your-first-production-quality-react-app) course. To get up to speed on Redux, you should check out Dan Abramov’s [Getting Started With Redux](https://egghead.io/courses/getting-started-with-redux) course.

Build A React App With Redux

In this course we are going to take an empty React and Redux application and add Redux Saga side effects. We’ll begin by installing saga to the app and implement a basic saga generator function. We’ll explore the saga commands provided by Redux Saga and what the difference is between blocking and non-blocking actions. 

We will also understand how to concurrently run sagas with saga helpers and how we wire everything up with the Redux store. Finally, we’ll finish up by implementing tests for our sagas.

Async React with Redux Saga

One of the hardest things about writing non-trivial applications is managing state. In our attempt to effectively manage state, we introduce additional complexity by trying to control application flow and the amount of code volume that comes from all of this. Redux gives us the ability to address state management and communication in astonishingly simple semantics that can be explained in just a couple minutes. The beauty of Redux is that it is not only a library but a pattern that works very will within Angular 1.x applications. In this series, we are going to learn how to integrate redux (the pattern) into Eggly from scratch and then introduce **ng-redux** and add in **Redux DevTools** at the end for fun.

AngularJS is an open-source JavaScript framework, maintained by Google, that assists with running single-page applications. Its goal is to augment web-based applications with model–view–controller (MVC) capability, in an effort to make both development and testing easier.

Build Angular 1.x Apps with Redux

Implementing modern component-based architecture in your new or existing Angular 1.x web application is a breath of fresh air.

In this course, you are going to take a close look at Eggly, an Angular 1.x application for organizing bookmarks, and build it using modern patterns and practices, inspired by Angular 2's recommended architecture.

You will learn how to leverage ES6 in your Angular 1 applications through Babel, and fully understand the core patterns that are used in a composed modular web application. 

This course will teach you how to leverage your existing knowledge of Angular, while preparing your mind (and applications!) for the future.

If you are interested, there is a [companion guide](http://www.angular2patterns.com/) that digs deeper into the patterns found in this course and Angular 2.

Using Angular 2 Patterns in Angular 1.x Apps

This course will pick up where we left off with the [Redux Fundamentals course](https://egghead.io/series/getting-started-with-redux). If you haven't watched that yet, you are highly encouraged to do so!

You are about to learn practical production ready techniques for building your React and Redux applications. You will explore advanced state management, middleware, React Router integration, and other common problems you are likely to encounter while building applications for your clients and customers.

Even if you have already spent time studying Redux, this course will show you better practices straight from the library's creator Dan Abramov.

Building React Applications with Idiomatic Redux

How much work would it take for you to move all of your directives and their templates to several different new directories? You'd have to update the templateUrl, script tags, etc., etc. With webpack, this can be trivial. For example, you don't need to worry about loading your templates in the $templateCache ever again. Webpack will help you modularize your css and tests. All of these things and more in this series so you can start using webpack with Angular today.

AngularJS and Webpack for Modular Applications

Ionic allows you to build cross platform native applications using Angular. In this course we will convert the Eggly AngularJS application into an Ionic mobile application.

Building an Angular 1.x Ionic Application

Welcome to the *Ionic Quickstart* series where you will learn how to get started with Ionic from the ground up. We will begin with how to install the required dependencies such as Node.js, Android SDKs and even GenyMotion to installing and running Ionic. By the time you finish, you will know how to create, edit and run an Ionic application. If you are on Windows or Mac and not sure where to start with hybrid mobile development, this is a great place to start!

Ionic Quickstart for Windows and Mac

Angular Material is an Angular-native, UI component framework from Google. It is a reference implementation of Google's Material Design and provides >30 UI components and services essential for mobile and desktop AngularJS applications.

In this course, we will quickly build a real-work application Angular UI application, take a tour of Angular Material, and learn how ngMaterial can be used in your projects.

Introduction to AngularJS Material

In this series we will take a look at Gulp. Gulp is a task runner. It is the commander of our army of helper robots that take critical, yet totally mundane, tasks and perform them hundreds of times per day so we don't have to. When we sit down to work, we want to enter a single command, and then spend the rest of our day writing code, testing, and basically not thinking about how it is all glued together in the background.

Automation is critical to any project of significant size. We will start with the Eggly Bookmarks application, and develop proper build automation that will include **production ready** tools that you can start using in your applications today!

Angular Automation with Gulp

In this comprehensive tutorial, Dan Abramov - the creator of Redux - will teach you how to manage state in your [React](/q/react) application with [Redux](/q/redux). 

[State management](https://egghead.io/playlists/react-state-management-in-2021-6732) is absolutely critical in providing users with a well-crafted experience with minimal bugs. 

It's also one of the hardest aspects of a modern front-end application to get right.

Redux provides a solid, stable, and mature solution to managing state in your React application. Through a handful of small, useful patterns, Redux can transform your application from a total mess of confusing and scattered state, into a delightfully organized, easy to understand modern [JavaScript](/q/javascript) powerhouse.

The principles of Redux aren't new, but they are packaged and presented for you in an easy to use a library that not only elevates your applications but also improves your general understanding of building JavaScript UIs.

In this course, Dan Abramov will show you the fundamentals of Redux, so that you can start using it to simplify your applications. 

There are some amazing [community notes on this course here on Github](https://github.com/tayiorbeii/egghead.io_redux_course_notes).



Fundamentals of Redux Course from Dan Abramov

One challenge when learning AngularJS is that most examples are trivial. It is difficult to find materials on learning "real-world" patterns and practices.

The joy of Angular is that you are free to build an application in any form that you wish. MCV, MVVM, MVP, MV*whatever*... You get to decide! Freedom is wonderful. 

"But what if I choose poorly?"

Good question.

This series will demonstrate how to organize and tool your AngularJS application for real work. It's an opinion. A way that has worked on our own projects. Use it as a guide for building the solution that best suits the needs of your projects. All projects are different, but with the right set of modular tools you can build a foundation for success.

Building on the previous series, we are going to refactor Eggly to be modular and scalable. By introducing modules and sub-modules, domain models and state management with ui-router, we will start to establish best practices on how an AngularJS application should not only function, but fit together.

Be sure to check out Part 1: [AngularJS App From Scratch: Getting Started](https://egghead.io/courses/angularjs-app-from-scratch-getting-started)

AngularJS Application Architecture

**Data** is the bedrock of any application, including your AngularJS project. This series will dive deep into data models, and how to effectively use them in your applications. 

AngularJS's solution out of the box is $resource, but this service isn't always the best solution. Many times we need a custom model layer that serves the needs of our application. This series explores building a $resource alternative from scratch using TDD.

It's intended for **intermediate-advanced AngularJS developers** that want to dig a little deeper to lower level abstractions for core systems in their applications.

AngularJS Data Modeling

JSON Web Tokens (JWT) are a more modern approach to authentication. As the web moves to a greater separation between the client and server, JWT provides a terrific alternative to traditional cookie based authentication models. For more information on JWT visit http://jwt.io/

In this series, we’ll be building a simple application to get random user information from a node server with an Angular client. We’ll then implement JWT to protect the random user resource on the server and then work through the frontend to get JWT authentication working.

By the end, we’ll have an application which has a single username/password combination (for simplicity) and uses tokens to authorize the client to see the random user information. You’ll be able to login, get random users, and logout.

AngularJS Authentication with JWT

AngularJS is an incredibly powerful framework but sometimes it can be confusing and frustrating trying to figure out how all of these amazing features actually fit together. In this series, you will learn how to build a non-trivial AngularJS application from the ground up through a series of small, digestible lessons. 

As we build out our sample application, Eggly, you will quickly start to identify useful techniques that you can apply to your own projects.  The videos series is broken out into three series so that you can start at whatever level is most appropriate for you.

### Getting Started

In this first series, we are going to focus on the absolute essentials for getting an AngularJS application up and running. We will start with a static HTML page and learn how to bootstrap an AngularJS application and add in functionality using AngularJS views and controllers. When we complete this section, you will have a functioning Eggly application where you can create, update and delete bookmarks and filter them based on the selected bookmark category.

AngularJS Fundamentals

Redux was [announced back in 2015](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsSnOQynTHs) and immediately took off as the de-facto state management solution for React. As it gained widespread traction, it also became clear that in many cases it was brought into applications prematurely. The community in some ways started to push back on its use and recommended the built-in `setState` method as an alternative. Several other state libraries also started popping up around this time. Finally, as React Hooks were announced with a built-in `useReducer` method it appeared that Redux's time was up. However, these claims have proven to be premature. Redux is not dead and instead remains React's most popular state management library`*`.

Recent updates to redux exposing a [hooks-based API](https://react-redux.js.org/api/hooks) address some of its most serious drawbacks and make it even more appealing. This course will show you how to apply redux to a modern react hooks application. I hope you leave this course with a continued appreciation for React Hooks and renewed enthusiasm for Redux.

Thanks for watching 📺.

Redux with React Hooks

Many engineers working with redux have felt burdened by large amounts of boilerplate code and confusing indirection. These apps often rely on legacy patterns that are no longer recommended, but are still commonly found in production code bases. If you are are an engineer working on such an application, this course is for you. In it I will show you how to modernize your application, with react hooks, one component at a time. At the end of it, we'll still be using redux, but the structure and content of your code will be significantly improved.

We will cover migrating class components to functional components with [react hooks](https://reactjs.org/docs/hooks-reference.html) and how to replace `connect()` with [redux hooks](https://react-redux.js.org/api/hooks). This course will serve as a good tutorial for learning react hooks. It will also help you apply  modern patterns for using redux. These patterns, powered by the new [useSelector](https://react-redux.js.org/api/hooks#useselector) and [useDispatch](https://react-redux.js.org/api/hooks#usedispatch) hooks will transform your redux applications for the better.
