What is the takeEvery effect in Redux-Saga?

Can you explain what the takeEvery effect does in Redux-Saga?

Sure! The takeEvery effect in Redux-Saga allows you to listen for every dispatched action of a specific type and run a specified saga in response.

How is it different from takeLatest?

The takeLatest effect only runs the saga for the most recent action of a specific type, canceling any previous ones. In contrast, takeEvery runs the saga for every action.

Can you give me a code example of using takeEvery?

Absolutely! Here's a simple example:

import { takeEvery, call, put } from 'redux-saga/effects';

function* fetchData(action) {
    const data = yield call(api.fetch, action.payload);
    yield put({ type: 'FETCH_SUCCESS', data });
}

function* watchFetchData() {
    yield takeEvery('FETCH_REQUEST', fetchData);
}

What are some common use cases for takeEvery?

Common use cases include handling user actions like form submissions, API calls, or any event where you want to respond to every action dispatched.
