When should I use Redux Thunks vs. Sagas?

What are the main differences between Redux Thunks and Sagas?

Redux Thunks is a middleware that allows you to write action creators that return a function instead of an action. Sagas, on the other hand, use generator functions to handle side effects in a more manageable way.

When should I choose Thunks over Sagas?

You might choose Thunks for simpler applications where you need straightforward asynchronous actions. It's easier to set up and understand.

And when is it better to use Sagas?

Sagas are better for complex applications with multiple side effects, as they provide better control over asynchronous flows and can handle more complex scenarios.

Can you give an example of a scenario for each?

Sure! For Thunks, a simple API call to fetch user data is a good example. For Sagas, handling a sequence of actions like user login, fetching user data, and redirecting would be ideal.
