Use Redux Toolkit as the standard state management solution for React applications.
Always create Redux logic using createSlice instead of manually writing reducers and action types.
Structure Redux features using a feature-based folder structure where each slice contains its reducer, actions, and selectors.
Use createAsyncThunk for handling asynchronous logic such as API calls.
Keep Redux state minimal and avoid storing derived values that can be calculated from existing state.
Prefer using the Redux Toolkit configureStore function to automatically enable useful middleware and dev tools.
Avoid writing mutable logic in reducers unless using Redux Toolkit's Immer-powered syntax.
Use typed hooks in TypeScript projects:
- useAppDispatch
- useAppSelector
Do not store UI-only state (modals, form inputs, temporary values) in Redux unless it needs to be shared globally.
Place all slices inside a dedicated "store" or "features" directory.
Use selectors to access Redux state instead of directly referencing state structure in components.
Ensure slices remain small and focused on a single domain or feature.
