How to use Redux architecture — Part 1

Redux is a popular architecture for building scalable and maintainable applications. It’s based on the principles of the unidirectional data flow, where the application’s state is managed in a centralized store, and actions trigger updates to the state.

To create an iOS application using the Redux architecture, you would need to follow these steps:

1. Define the application’s state: The first step is to define the application’s state, which represents the current state of the application. The state is usually defined as a struct or a class that contains properties for each piece of data that needs to be tracked in the application.

struct AppState {
    var counter: Int = 0
    var isLoading: Bool = false
}

2. Define the actions: The next step is to define the actions, which represent the different events that can trigger updates to the state. Each action should have a type and an optional payload.

enum AppAction {
    case increment
    case decrement
    case setLoading(Bool)
}

3. Create a store: The store is responsible for managing the application’s state and dispatching actions. You can create a store by initializing the state and providing a reducer function, which is responsible for updating the state based on the actions.
