Where should an async call be in Redux?

Question

JavaScript

Hello, I am learning Redux and React, looking at examples. And one question arose where it is necessary to make an asynchronous call: in Actions or in middleWare. What is the difference?

Answer 1

In short - in actions.
In detail, then:
An asynchronous call is made with the participation of middleware in actions. This is the answer =)
On the shelves: redux-thunk is usually used , the code of which is very simple: if actionCreator returns a FUNCTION, then you need to throw store and dispatch into the function as arguments. Thus, from actions (actions) you will be able to perform asynchronous requests.

Also, there is a whole mini tutorial on redux.

For routing in response to an asynchronous request, you will have to use another middleware, this will be described in detail here , section: connecting redux . At the moment, almost everything is finished, I will publish it next week.
