How do I use Redux Thunks in my application?

Redux Thunks is a middleware that allows you to write action creators that return a function instead of an action. This is useful for handling asynchronous logic. Would you like a code example?

Yes, please provide a code example.

Sure! Here's a simple example:

const fetchUser = (userId) => {
  return async (dispatch) => {
    dispatch({ type: 'FETCH_USER_REQUEST' });
    try {
      const response = await fetch(`/api/users/${userId}`);
      const data = await response.json();
      dispatch({ type: 'FETCH_USER_SUCCESS', payload: data });
    } catch (error) {
      dispatch({ type: 'FETCH_USER_FAILURE', error });
    }
  };
};

This thunk fetches user data and dispatches actions based on the request's success or failure.

What do I need to set up Redux Thunks in my project?

You need to install Redux Thunk middleware and apply it to your Redux store. You can do this by running npm install redux-thunk and then using applyMiddleware(thunk) when creating your store.
