Question 1/15

Which of the following statements correctly describes middleware in the Redux architecture?

Select your answer

Middleware sits between the Redux dispatching of an action and the execution of a reducer, allowing for interception of actions.

Middleware are functions that generate actions automatically in Redux.

Middleware decouples the Redux state from the React component tree.

Middleware directly updates the Redux state based on component lifecycle events.

Question 2/15

With reference to immutability, why is it important in Redux, and how does Redux Toolkit help in managing it?

import { createSlice } from '@reduxjs/toolkit';

Select your answer

Immutability allows Redux to detect state changes for re-renders. Redux Toolkit's 'createSlice' utility manages immutability by using Immer to apply state changes.

Immutability leads to faster execution time, and Redux Toolkit speeds it up further with middleware.

Immutability helps in storing metadata, while Redux Toolkit enhances it with custom logs.

Immutability in Redux applies exclusively to actions, and Toolkit modifies actions for better logging.

Question 3/15

In Redux, why is 'combineReducers' used, and what might happen if it is not used in a large application?

import { combineReducers } from 'redux';

Select your answer

'combineReducers' is used to automatically bind action creators to dispatch; without it, actions won't trigger.

'combineReducers' prevents Redux from dispatching actions too quickly, thus helping with performance.

'combineReducers' merges multiple reducer functions into a single reducing function. Without it, managing complex state might become cumbersome and lead to errors.

'combineReducers' is necessary for enabling middleware logging in Redux, without which it won't work.

Question 4/15

Considering 'react-redux', what is the impact of not wrapping components with 'memo' or using selectors inefficiently?

Select your answer

It stops Redux actions from being dispatched properly within the app.

It requires Redux to perform sync operations for state updates.

It can lead to unnecessary re-renders, causing performance degradation due to components updating even without relevant state changes.

It leads to React context issues preventing store updates.

Question 5/15

What is the primary purpose of the 'Provider' component in a React-Redux application?

import { Provider } from 'react-redux';

Select your answer

To store temporary component-level state without using Redux.

To execute middleware functions in a Redux application.

To handle HTTP requests within a Redux application.

To provide the application state to all connected components.

Question 6/15

Consider the following Redux reducer function. What could be a significant issue?

function counterReducer(state = { count: 0 }, action) { state.count = state.count + 1; return state; }

Select your answer

The reducer mutates the state directly, which violates Redux principles of immutability.

The reducer function lacks a reference to initial state, causing initial state to be undefined.

The reducer incorrectly accesses this.state, causing a binding error.

The reducer does not return a function, which is required for Redux to process it.

Question 7/15

In Redux, what is the critical role of the 'combineReducers' function?

import { combineReducers } from 'redux';

Select your answer

'combineReducers' merges multiple reducer functions, enabling the Redux store to comprehend each state slice managed by individual reducers.

'combineReducers' triggers lifecycle methods for state updates.

'combineReducers' automatically optimizes selectors for Redux state fetching.

'combineReducers' uniquely binds middleware into the Redux store setup.

Question 8/15

Given the following code, what can 'useEffect' accomplish when paired with Redux state?

import { useEffect } from 'react';
import { useSelector } from 'react-redux';

Select your answer

'useEffect' ensures the Redux store only dispatches actions once.

'useEffect' triggers every Redux action automatically.

'useEffect' synchronizes the component tree with the Redux store.

'useEffect' allows side-effects like API calls to occur when specific Redux state values change.

Question 9/15

When considering Redux Toolkit, how does the 'createSlice' API simplify Redux development?

import { createSlice } from '@reduxjs/toolkit';

Select your answer

'createSlice' automates action creation, writes reducers, and eliminates boilerplate while integrating Immer for state immutability.

'createSlice' replaces the root reducer with a single global reducer for better performance.

'createSlice' ensures all reducers are asynchronous and dynamically loaded.

'createSlice' detaches state management logic to a separate library.

Question 10/15

Given the following Redux action, what is a potential drawback of not using 'redux-thunk' or similar middleware with it?

const fetchUser = () => { return { type: 'FETCH_USER' }; };

Select your answer

Without middleware like 'redux-thunk', you cannot perform asynchronous operations directly within action creators.

The Redux store would encounter errors during dispatch.

Action creators would not be able to return functions.

The Redux state could become inconsistent.

Question 11/15

What might be the reason to incorporate the 'redux-devtools-extension' in a Redux application during development?

import { composeWithDevTools } from 'redux-devtools-extension';

Select your answer

It allows developers to inspect dispatched actions, current state, and time-travel to previous application states for debugging purposes.

It bundles all Redux code to improve application start time.

It allows Redux actions to occur only from verified components.

It provides real-time performance analytics and optimizes actions for production.

Question 12/15

Why is it recommended to use 'useDispatch' rather than passing dispatch functions through props to functional components?

import { useDispatch } from 'react-redux';

Select your answer

'useDispatch' ensures that actions can only be dispatched during specific lifecycle events.

'useDispatch' automatically batches component updates when dispatching actions.

'useDispatch' circumvents React's render cycle to improve performance.

'useDispatch' allows direct access to the Redux store dispatch without prop drilling, promoting cleaner and more maintainable component code.

Question 13/15

What impact does 'useReducer' have when utilized in React for managing complex local component state compared to Redux?

const [state, dispatch] = useReducer(myReducer, initialState);

Select your answer

'useReducer' is strictly for managing global state as a substitute for Redux.

'useReducer' binds its actions to React lifecycle events.

'useReducer' reduces component file size by removing state definitions.

'useReducer' provides local state management with reducer logic similar to Redux but without the global store, making it suitable for complex local state in components.

Question 14/15

Why should you avoid side effects in Redux reducers, and how can you handle side effects in a Redux-based application?

Select your answer

Reducers must remain pure functions for predictable state updates. Side effects should be handled with middleware like 'redux-thunk' or 'redux-saga'.

Side effects in reducers are necessary for dispatching actions recursively.

Reducers with side effects enhance performance by executing logic in parallel.

Reducers with side effects store the history of actions for debugging purposes.

Question 15/15

How does the 'useSelector' hook function within a React component integrated with Redux?

import { useSelector } from 'react-redux';

Select your answer

The 'useSelector' hook extracts state from the Redux store using a selector function, causing the component to re-render when the extracted state changes.

'useSelector' uses context to provide global settings for the application.

'useSelector' connects Redux state to component props, similar to 'mapStateToProps'.

'useSelector' listens for Redux action types and triggers effects.
