What it is

React Redux is the official library that connects the Redux state store to React user interfaces. It lets React components read data from a central store and dispatch changes to it. The README describes it as performant and flexible, and links to docs and background articles on how it works.

  • Read values from a Redux store inside React components
  • Dispatch actions from UI events such as button clicks
  • Share state between distant components without passing props through every level

Great for

  • React developers whose apps need shared state across many components
  • Teams already using Redux who want the officially supported React connection
  • Developers starting a new Vite or Next.js app who want Redux configured from the start

Not ideal for

  • Small React apps with little shared state, where Redux adds more setup than it saves
  • Projects not using React (the README covers React bindings only)
  • Developers who need a browser-only drop-in with no npm or bundler, since the README says the UMD build is not recommended for serious applications

How to get it

  1. 1

    Install with a package manager

    You'll need: React 18 or later · Redux installed in the project · npm or Yarn

    Install with npm

    npm install react-redux

    Install with Yarn

    yarn add react-redux
  2. 2

    Run it

    • Create or open a React project that uses a bundler such as Webpack or Vite
    • Install Redux and set up a store as described in the Redux docs
    • Install react-redux with npm or Yarn
    • Wrap your app with the Provider component and connect components to the store, following the docs at react-redux.js.org
  3. 3

    Get the most out of it

    • Start from the official Vite Redux+TS template, which already has Redux Toolkit and React Redux configured
    • Use the Next.js with-redux template if you are building a Next.js app
    • Read the history and implementation blog post linked in the README to understand how updates are handled
    • Check the full documentation at react-redux.js.org for hooks and API details

Strengths

  • Official project maintained alongside Redux itself
  • MIT licensed and available on npm
  • README points to templates and documentation for quick setup

Trade-offs

  • Requires React 18 or later for version 9.x, per the README
  • Requires separately installing Redux and setting up a store
  • The README is truncated, so details of the API are only available on the external docs site
