Redux is a powerful state management tool for complex React applications, but it can also feel boilerplate-heavy. Here's where Redux Toolkit swoops in to simplify your life.
Redux Toolkit is an official add-on that streamlines Redux development. It provides utilities to handle common tasks, saving you time and code.
[s]**[/s]Think of it as a cheat sheet:** Redux Toolkit offers pre-built functions for setting up stores, creating reducers with simplified immutable updates, and even combining reducers for a more organized state structure.

@"Awsome123"#p809 hmm, let me see…
[s]```[/s]
// authSlice.ts
import { createSlice } from "@reduxjs/toolkit"
const initialState = {
auth: {
token: null as string | null,
isSignedIn: false,
name: "" as string,
phoneNumber: 0 as number,
email: "" as string,
role: "personal" as "personal" | "business"
}
}
const authSlice = createSlice({
name: "auth",
initialState,
reducers: {
signUp: (state, action) => {
const { name, email, phoneNumber, role } = action.payload;
state.auth.role = role;
state.auth.isSignedIn = true;
state.auth.name = name;
state.auth.phoneNumber = phoneNumber;
state.auth.email = email;
},
}
})
export const { signUp } = authSlice.actions;
export default authSlice.reducer;
```

@"luhan"#p638 I remember my first encounter of state management, I was so confused as I have mastered manipulating real dom with JavaScript and jquery. The idea of a virtual dom and state management seek like rocket science to me at the time.

I still dont understand this state management matter. Una weldone, I only do backend, I guess it is a frontend thing.

I have not done any big react thing yet, so I just stick to the normal useState hook for now. This redux looks very complicated to me.
