What is Middleware?
When you dispatch an action in your application, it goes through a series of checkpoints before reaching the reducers. These checkpoints are the middleware. They intercept actions, perform specific tasks, and then pass them along to the next middleware or finally to the reducers. Middlewares in React Redux act as a bridge between actions being dispatched and reducers that update the state accordingly. They intercept actions before they reach reducers, allowing for additional functionality such as logging, asynchronous operations, or dispatching multiple actions based on a single action.
Creating custom middlewares in React Redux
In React-Redux applications, managing the flow of data is crucial for building efficient and scalable apps. Redux provides a powerful state management solution, and custom middleware adds an extra layer of flexibility to handle complex scenarios effectively.
Let’s understand custom middleware in simpler terms and see how we can create and use them.
