Overview of React Redux CRUD example with Rest API

We will build a React Redux Tutorial Application with API calls in that:

• Each Tutorial has id, title, description, published status.
• We can create, retrieve, update, delete Tutorials.
• There is a Search bar for finding Tutorials by title.

Here are screenshots of our React Redux CRUD Application.

– Create an item:

If you want to implement Form Validation, please visit:

– Retrieve all items:

– Click on Edit button to update an item:

On this Page, you can:

• change status to Published using Publish button
• delete the item using Delete button
• update the item details with Update button

– Search Tutorials by title:

– Redux Store:

This React Client consumes the following Web API:

React Redux App Component Diagram with Router & Axios

Now look at the React components that we’re gonna implement:

– The App component is a container with React Router. It has navbar that links to routes paths.

– Three components that dispatch actions to Redux Thunk Middleware which uses TutorialDataService to call Rest API.

• TutorialsList component gets and displays Tutorials.
• Tutorial component has form for editing Tutorial’s details based on :id.
• AddTutorial component has form for submission new Tutorial.

– TutorialDataService uses axios to make HTTP requests and receive responses.

React Redux with API example

This diagram shows how Redux elements work in our React Application:

We’re gonna create Redux store for storing tutorials data. Other React Components will work with the Store via dispatching an action.

The reducer will take the action and return new state.

Technology

• React 17/16
• react-redux 7.2.3
• redux 4.0.5
• redux-thunk 2.3.0
• react-router-dom 5.2.0
• axios 0.21.1
• bootstrap 4

Project Structure

I’m gonna explain it briefly.

– package.json contains main modules: react, react-router-dom, react-redux, redux, redux-thunk, axios & bootstrap.
– App is the container that has Router & navbar.
– There are 3 components: TutorialsList, Tutorial, AddTutorial.
– http-common.js initializes axios with HTTP base Url and headers.
– TutorialDataService has methods for sending HTTP requests to the Apis.
– .env configures port for this React CRUD App.

About Redux elements that we’re gonna use:
– actions folder contains the action creator (tutorials.js for CRUD operations and searching).
– reducers folder contains the reducer (tutorials.js) which updates the application state corresponding to dispatched action.

Setup React.js Project

Open cmd at the folder you want to save Project folder, run command:
npx create-react-app react-redux-crud-example

After the process is done. We create additional folders and files like the following tree:

---

public

src

actions

types.js

tutorials.js (create/retrieve/update/delete actions)

reducers

index.js

tutorials.js

components

add-tutorial.component.js

tutorial.component.js

tutorials-list.component.js

services

tutorial.service.js

App.css

App.js

index.js

store.js

package.json

---

Import Bootstrap to React Redux CRUD App

Run command: npm install [email protected].

Open src/App.js and modify the code inside it as following-

import React, { Component } from "react";
import "bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css";

class App extends Component {
  render() {
    // ...
  }
}

export default App;

Add React Router to React Redux CRUD App

– Run the command: npm install react-router-dom.
– Open src/App.js and wrap all UI elements by BrowserRouter object.

...
import { BrowserRouter as Router } from "react-router-dom";

class App extends Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <Router>
        ...
      </Router>
    );
  }
}

export default App;

Add Navbar to React Redux CRUD App

The App component is the root container for our application, it will contain a navbar inside <Router> above, and also, a Switch object with several Route. Each Route points to a React Component.

Now App.js looks like:

import React, { Component } from "react";
import { BrowserRouter as Router, Switch, Route, Link } from "react-router-dom";
import "bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css";
import "./App.css";

import AddTutorial from "./components/add-tutorial.component";
import Tutorial from "./components/tutorial.component";
import TutorialsList from "./components/tutorials-list.component";

class App extends Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <Router>
        <nav className="navbar navbar-expand navbar-dark bg-dark">
          <Link to={"/tutorials"} className="navbar-brand">
            bezKoder
          </Link>
          <div className="navbar-nav mr-auto">
            <li className="nav-item">
              <Link to={"/tutorials"} className="nav-link">
                Tutorials
              </Link>
            </li>
            <li className="nav-item">
              <Link to={"/add"} className="nav-link">
                Add
              </Link>
            </li>
          </div>
        </nav>

        <div className="container mt-3">
          <Switch>
            <Route exact path={["/", "/tutorials"]} component={TutorialsList} />
            <Route exact path="/add" component={AddTutorial} />
            <Route path="/tutorials/:id" component={Tutorial} />
          </Switch>
        </div>
      </Router>
    );
  }
}

export default App;

Initialize Axios for React Redux CRUD with API calls

Let’s install axios with command: npm install axios.
Under src folder, we create http-common.js file with following code:

import axios from "axios";

export default axios.create({
  baseURL: "http://localhost:8080/api",
  headers: {
    "Content-type": "application/json"
  }
});

You can change the baseURL that depends on REST APIs url that your Server configures.

For more details about ways to use Axios, please visit:
Axios request: Get/Post/Put/Delete example

Create Data Service

In this step, we’re gonna create a service that uses axios object above to send HTTP requests or make API calls.

services/tutorial.service.js

import http from "../http-common";

class TutorialDataService {
  getAll() {
    return http.get("/tutorials");
  }

  get(id) {
    return http.get(`/tutorials/${id}`);
  }

  create(data) {
    return http.post("/tutorials", data);
  }

  update(id, data) {
    return http.put(`/tutorials/${id}`, data);
  }

  delete(id) {
    return http.delete(`/tutorials/${id}`);
  }

  deleteAll() {
    return http.delete(`/tutorials`);
  }

  findByTitle(title) {
    return http.get(`/tutorials?title=${title}`);
  }
}

export default new TutorialDataService();

We call axios get, post, put, delete method corresponding to HTTP Requests: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE to make CRUD Operations.

You can simplify import statement with:
Absolute Import in React

Create Redux Actions

We’re gonna create actions in src/actions folder:

---

actions

types.js

tutorials.js (create/retrieve/update/delete actions)

---

Action Types

First we defined some string constant that indicates the type of action being performed.

actions/type.js

export const CREATE_TUTORIAL = "CREATE_TUTORIAL";
export const RETRIEVE_TUTORIALS = "RETRIEVE_TUTORIALS";
export const UPDATE_TUTORIAL = "UPDATE_TUTORIAL";
export const DELETE_TUTORIAL = "DELETE_TUTORIAL";
export const DELETE_ALL_TUTORIALS = "DELETE_ALL_TUTORIALS";

Actions Creator

This is creator for actions related to tutorials. We’re gonna import TutorialDataService to make asynchronous HTTP requests with trigger dispatch on the result.

– createTutorial()

• calls the TutorialDataService.create()
• dispatch CREATE_TUTORIAL

– retrieveTutorials()

• calls the TutorialDataService.getAll()
• dispatch RETRIEVE_TUTORIALS

– updateTutorial()

• calls the TutorialDataService.update()
• dispatch UPDATE_TUTORIAL

– deleteTutorial()

• calls the TutorialDataService.delete()
• dispatch DELETE_TUTORIAL

– deleteAllTutorials()

• calls the TutorialDataService.deleteAll()
• dispatch DELETE_ALL_TUTORIALS

– findTutorialsByTitle()

• calls the TutorialDataService.findByTitle()
• dispatch RETRIEVE_TUTORIALS

Some action creators return a Promise for Components using them.

actions/tutorials.js

import {
  CREATE_TUTORIAL,
  RETRIEVE_TUTORIALS,
  UPDATE_TUTORIAL,
  DELETE_TUTORIAL,
  DELETE_ALL_TUTORIALS
} from "./types";

import TutorialDataService from "../services/tutorial.service";

export const createTutorial = (title, description) => async (dispatch) => {
  try {
    const res = await TutorialDataService.create({ title, description });

    dispatch({
      type: CREATE_TUTORIAL,
      payload: res.data,
    });

    return Promise.resolve(res.data);
  } catch (err) {
    return Promise.reject(err);
  }
};

export const retrieveTutorials = () => async (dispatch) => {
  try {
    const res = await TutorialDataService.getAll();

    dispatch({
      type: RETRIEVE_TUTORIALS,
      payload: res.data,
    });
  } catch (err) {
    console.log(err);
  }
};

export const updateTutorial = (id, data) => async (dispatch) => {
  try {
    const res = await TutorialDataService.update(id, data);

    dispatch({
      type: UPDATE_TUTORIAL,
      payload: data,
    });

    return Promise.resolve(res.data);
  } catch (err) {
    return Promise.reject(err);
  }
};

export const deleteTutorial = (id) => async (dispatch) => {
  try {
    await TutorialDataService.delete(id);

    dispatch({
      type: DELETE_TUTORIAL,
      payload: { id },
    });
  } catch (err) {
    console.log(err);
  }
};

export const deleteAllTutorials = () => async (dispatch) => {
  try {
    const res = await TutorialDataService.deleteAll();

    dispatch({
      type: DELETE_ALL_TUTORIALS,
      payload: res.data,
    });

    return Promise.resolve(res.data);
  } catch (err) {
    return Promise.reject(err);
  }
};

export const findTutorialsByTitle = (title) => async (dispatch) => {
  try {
    const res = await TutorialDataService.findByTitle(title);

    dispatch({
      type: RETRIEVE_TUTORIALS,
      payload: res.data,
    });
  } catch (err) {
    console.log(err);
  }
};

Create Redux Reducer

There will be a reducer in src/reducers folder, the reducer updates the state corresponding to dispatched Redux actions.

---

reducers

index.js

tutorials.js

---

Tutorials Reducer

The tutorials reducer will update tutorials state of the Redux store:
reducers/tutorials.js

import {
  CREATE_TUTORIAL,
  RETRIEVE_TUTORIALS,
  UPDATE_TUTORIAL,
  DELETE_TUTORIAL,
  DELETE_ALL_TUTORIALS,
} from "../actions/types";

const initialState = [];

function tutorialReducer(tutorials = initialState, action) {
  const { type, payload } = action;

  switch (type) {
    case CREATE_TUTORIAL:
      return [...tutorials, payload];

    case RETRIEVE_TUTORIALS:
      return payload;

    case UPDATE_TUTORIAL:
      return tutorials.map((tutorial) => {
        if (tutorial.id === payload.id) {
          return {
            ...tutorial,
            ...payload,
          };
        } else {
          return tutorial;
        }
      });

    case DELETE_TUTORIAL:
      return tutorials.filter(({ id }) => id !== payload.id);

    case DELETE_ALL_TUTORIALS:
      return [];

    default:
      return tutorials;
  }
};

export default tutorialReducer;

Combine Reducers

reducers/index.js

import { combineReducers } from "redux";
import tutorials from "./tutorials";

export default combineReducers({
  tutorials,
});

Because we only have a single store in a Redux application. We use reducer composition instead of many stores to split data handling logic.

For example, if you have Auth Reducer that manages authentication logic, you can use combineReducers() like following code:

import { combineReducers } from "redux";
import tutorials from "./tutorials";
import auth from "./auth";

export default combineReducers({
  tutorials,
  auth
});

Create Redux Store

This Store will bring Actions and Reducers together and hold the Application state.

Now we need to install Redux, Thunk Middleware and Redux Devtool Extension.
Run the command:

npm install redux react-redux redux-thunk
npm install --save-dev redux-devtools-extension

In the previous section, we used combineReducers() to combine 2 reducers into one. Let’s import it, and pass it to createStore():

store.js

import { createStore, applyMiddleware } from 'redux';
import { composeWithDevTools } from "redux-devtools-extension";
import thunk from 'redux-thunk';
import rootReducer from './reducers';

const initialState = {};

const middleware = [thunk];

const store = createStore(
  rootReducer,
  initialState,
  composeWithDevTools(applyMiddleware(...middleware))
);

export default store;

Provide State to React Components

We will use mapStateToProps and mapDispatchToProps to connect Redux state to React Components’ props later using connect() function:

export default connect(mapStateToProps, mapDispatchToProps)(ReactComponent);

So we need to make the Redux store available to the connect() call in the Components. We will wrap a parent or ancestor Component in Provider.

Provider is an high order component that wraps up React application and makes it aware of the entire Redux store. That is, it provides the store to its child components.

Now we want our entire React App to access the store, just put the App Component within Provider.

Open src/index.js

import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import App from './App';
...
import { Provider } from 'react-redux';
import store from './store';

ReactDOM.render(
  <Provider store={store}>
    <App />
  </Provider>,
  document.getElementById('root')
);

Create React Components

Now we’re gonna build 3 components corresponding to 3 Routes defined before.

Add item Component

This component has a Form to submit new Tutorial with 2 fields: title & description.

components/add-tutorial.component.js

import React, { Component } from "react";
import { connect } from "react-redux";
import { createTutorial } from "../actions/tutorials";

class AddTutorial extends Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.onChangeTitle = this.onChangeTitle.bind(this);
    this.onChangeDescription = this.onChangeDescription.bind(this);
    this.saveTutorial = this.saveTutorial.bind(this);
    this.newTutorial = this.newTutorial.bind(this);

    this.state = {
      id: null,
      title: "",
      description: "",
      published: false,

      submitted: false,
    };
  }

  onChangeTitle(e) {
    this.setState({
      title: e.target.value,
    });
  }

  onChangeDescription(e) {
    this.setState({
      description: e.target.value,
    });
  }

  saveTutorial() {
    const { title, description } = this.state;

    this.props
      .createTutorial(title, description)
      .then((data) => {
        this.setState({
          id: data.id,
          title: data.title,
          description: data.description,
          published: data.published,

          submitted: true,
        });
        console.log(data);
      })
      .catch((e) => {
        console.log(e);
      });
  }

  newTutorial() {
    this.setState({
      id: null,
      title: "",
      description: "",
      published: false,

      submitted: false,
    });
  }

  render() {
    return (
      ...
    );
  }
}

export default connect(null, { createTutorial })(AddTutorial);

First, we define the constructor and set initial state, bind this to the different events.

Because there are 2 fields, so we create 2 functions to track the values of the input and set that state for changes. We also have a function to get value of the form (state) and send the POST request to the Web API. It dispatch action with createTutorial() action creator.

For render() method, we check the submitted state, if it is true, we show Add button for creating new Tutorial again. Otherwise, a Form will display.

class AddTutorial extends Component {
  ...

  render() {
    return (
      <div className="submit-form">
        {this.state.submitted ? (
          <div>
            <h4>You submitted successfully!</h4>
            <button className="btn btn-success" onClick={this.newTutorial}>
              Add
            </button>
          </div>
        ) : (
          <div>
            <div className="form-group">
              <label htmlFor="title">Title</label>
              <input
                type="text"
                className="form-control"
                id="title"
                required
                value={this.state.title}
                onChange={this.onChangeTitle}
                name="title"
              />
            </div>

            <div className="form-group">
              <label htmlFor="description">Description</label>
              <input
                type="text"
                className="form-control"
                id="description"
                required
                value={this.state.description}
                onChange={this.onChangeDescription}
                name="description"
              />
            </div>

            <button onClick={this.saveTutorial} className="btn btn-success">
              Submit
            </button>
          </div>
        )}
      </div>
    );
  }
}

export default connect(null, { createTutorial })(AddTutorial);

List of items Component

This component has:

• a search bar for finding Tutorials by title.
• a tutorials array displayed as a list on the left.
• a selected Tutorial which is shown on the right.

Beside global state tutorials, we also have following local state:

• searchTitle
• currentTutorial and currentIndex

We also need to use 3 action creators:

• retrieveTutorials
• findTutorialsByTitle
• deleteAllTutorials

To connect the Redux store with local Component state and props, we use connect() with mapStateToProps and mapDispatchToProps.

const mapStateToProps = (state) => {
  return {
      tutorials: state.tutorials
  };
}

export default connect(mapStateToProps, {
  retrieveTutorials,
  findTutorialsByTitle,
  deleteAllTutorials
})(TutorialsList);

Now we can work with tutorials state and dispatch actions like this:

// get tutorials state
this.props.tutorials

// dispatch actions
this.props.retrieveTutorials()
this.props.findTutorialsByTitle(...)
this.props.deleteAllTutorials(...)

components/tutorials-list.component.js

import React, { Component } from "react";
import { connect } from "react-redux";
import { retrieveTutorials, findTutorialsByTitle, deleteAllTutorials } from "../actions/tutorials";

class TutorialsList extends Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.onChangeSearchTitle = this.onChangeSearchTitle.bind(this);
    this.refreshData = this.refreshData.bind(this);
    this.setActiveTutorial = this.setActiveTutorial.bind(this);
    this.findByTitle = this.findByTitle.bind(this);
    this.removeAllTutorials = this.removeAllTutorials.bind(this);

    this.state = {
      currentTutorial: null,
      currentIndex: -1,
      searchTitle: "",
    };
  }

  componentDidMount() {
    this.props.retrieveTutorials();
  }

  onChangeSearchTitle(e) {
    const searchTitle = e.target.value;

    this.setState({
      searchTitle: searchTitle,
    });
  }

  refreshData() {
    this.setState({
      currentTutorial: null,
      currentIndex: -1,
    });
  }

  setActiveTutorial(tutorial, index) {
    this.setState({
      currentTutorial: tutorial,
      currentIndex: index,
    });
  }

  removeAllTutorials() {
    this.props
      .deleteAllTutorials()
      .then((response) => {
        console.log(response);
        this.refreshData();
      })
      .catch((e) => {
        console.log(e);
      });
  }

  findByTitle() {
    this.refreshData();

    this.props.findTutorialsByTitle(this.state.searchTitle);
  }

  render() {
    const { searchTitle, currentTutorial, currentIndex } = this.state;
    const { tutorials } = this.props;

    return (
      ...
    );
  }
}

const mapStateToProps = (state) => {
  return {
    tutorials: state.tutorials,
  };
};

export default connect(mapStateToProps, { retrieveTutorials, findTutorialsByTitle, deleteAllTutorials })(TutorialsList);

Let’s continue to implement render() method:

// ...
import { Link } from "react-router-dom";

class TutorialsList extends Component {
  ..

  render() {
    const { searchTitle, currentTutorial, currentIndex } = this.state;
    const { tutorials } = this.props;

    return (
      <div className="list row">
        <div className="col-md-8">
          <div className="input-group mb-3">
            <input
              type="text"
              className="form-control"
              placeholder="Search by title"
              value={searchTitle}
              onChange={this.onChangeSearchTitle}
            />
            <div className="input-group-append">
              <button
                className="btn btn-outline-secondary"
                type="button"
                onClick={this.findByTitle}
              >
                Search
              </button>
            </div>
          </div>
        </div>
        <div className="col-md-6">
          <h4>Tutorials List</h4>

          <ul className="list-group">
            {tutorials &&
              tutorials.map((tutorial, index) => (
                <li
                  className={
                    "list-group-item " +
                    (index === currentIndex ? "active" : "")
                  }
                  onClick={() => this.setActiveTutorial(tutorial, index)}
                  key={index}
                >
                  {tutorial.title}
                </li>
              ))}
          </ul>

          <button
            className="m-3 btn btn-sm btn-danger"
            onClick={this.removeAllTutorials}
          >
            Remove All

export default connect(...)(TutorialsList);

If you click on Edit button of any Tutorial, the app will direct you to Tutorial page.
We use React Router Link for accessing that page with url: /tutorials/:id.

You can add Pagination to this Component, just follow instruction in the post:
React Pagination with API using Material-UI

Item details Component

We’re gonna use the component lifecycle method: componentDidMount() to fetch the data from the Web API.

For getting tutorial details, this component will use TutorialDataService.get() method.
For update, delete the Tutorial, we work with following action creators:

• updateTutorial
• deleteTutorial

components/tutorial.component.js

import React, { Component } from "react";
import { connect } from "react-redux";
import { updateTutorial, deleteTutorial } from "../actions/tutorials";
import TutorialDataService from "../services/tutorial.service";

class Tutorial extends Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.onChangeTitle = this.onChangeTitle.bind(this);
    this.onChangeDescription = this.onChangeDescription.bind(this);
    this.getTutorial = this.getTutorial.bind(this);
    this.updateStatus = this.updateStatus.bind(this);
    this.updateContent = this.updateContent.bind(this);
    this.removeTutorial = this.removeTutorial.bind(this);

    this.state = {
      currentTutorial: {
        id: null,
        title: "",
        description: "",
        published: false,
      },
      message: "",
    };
  }

  componentDidMount() {
    this.getTutorial(this.props.match.params.id);
  }

  onChangeTitle(e) {
    const title = e.target.value;

    this.setState(function (prevState) {
      return {
        currentTutorial: {
          ...prevState.currentTutorial,
          title: title,
        },
      };
    });
  }

  onChangeDescription(e) {
    const description = e.target.value;

    this.setState((prevState) => ({
      currentTutorial: {
        ...prevState.currentTutorial,
        description: description,
      },
    }));
  }

  getTutorial(id) {
    TutorialDataService.get(id)
      .then((response) => {
        this.setState({
          currentTutorial: response.data,
        });
        console.log(response.data);
      })
      .catch((e) => {
        console.log(e);
      });
  }

  updateStatus(status) {
    var data = {
      id: this.state.currentTutorial.id,
      title: this.state.currentTutorial.title,
      description: this.state.currentTutorial.description,
      published: status,
    };

    this.props
      .updateTutorial(this.state.currentTutorial.id, data)
      .then((reponse) => {
        console.log(reponse);

        this.setState((prevState) => ({
          currentTutorial: {
            ...prevState.currentTutorial,
            published: status,
          },
        }));

        this.setState({ message: "The status was updated successfully!" });
      })
      .catch((e) => {
        console.log(e);
      });
  }

  updateContent() {
    this.props
      .updateTutorial(this.state.currentTutorial.id, this.state.currentTutorial)
      .then((reponse) => {
        console.log(reponse);
        
        this.setState({ message: "The tutorial was updated successfully!" });
      })
      .catch((e) => {
        console.log(e);
      });
  }

  removeTutorial() {
    this.props
      .deleteTutorial(this.state.currentTutorial.id)
      .then(() => {
        this.props.history.push("/tutorials");
      })
      .catch((e) => {
        console.log(e);
      });
  }

  render() {
    const { currentTutorial } = this.state;

    return (
      ...
    );
  }
}

export default connect(null, { updateTutorial, deleteTutorial })(Tutorial);

And this is the code for render() method:

...

class Tutorial extends Component {
  ...

  render() {
    const { currentTutorial } = this.state;

    return (
      <div>
        {currentTutorial ? (
          <div className="edit-form">

                  className="form-control"
                  id="title"
                  value={currentTutorial.title}
                  onChange={this.onChangeTitle}
                />
              </div>
              <div className="form-group">

                  className="form-control"
                  id="description"
                  value={currentTutorial.description}
                  onChange={this.onChangeDescription}
                />
              </div>

              <div className="form-group">
                <label>
                  <strong>Status:</strong>
                </label>
                {currentTutorial.published ? "Published" : "Pending"}
              </div>
            </form>

            {currentTutorial.published ? (
              <button
                className="badge badge-primary mr-2"
                onClick={() => this.updateStatus(false)}
              >
                UnPublish
              </button>
            ) : (
              <button
                className="badge badge-primary mr-2"
                onClick={() => this.updateStatus(true)}
              >
                Publish
              </button>
            )}

            <button
              className="badge badge-danger mr-2"
              onClick={this.removeTutorial}
            >
              Delete
            </button>

            <button
              type="submit"
              className="badge badge-success"
              onClick={this.updateContent}

        ) : (

            <br />
            <p>Please click on a Tutorial...</p>
          </div>
        )}
      </div>
    );
  }
}

export default connect(null, { updateTutorial, deleteTutorial })(Tutorial);

Add CSS style for React Components

Open src/App.css and write some CSS code as following:

.list {
  text-align: left;
  max-width: 750px;
  margin: auto;
}

.submit-form {
  max-width: 300px;
  margin: auto;
}

.edit-form {
  max-width: 300px;
  margin: auto;
}

Configure Port for React Redux CRUD with Web API

Because most of HTTP Server use CORS configuration that accepts resource sharing restricted to some sites or ports, so we also need to configure port for our App.

In project folder, create .env file with following content:

PORT=8081

Now we’ve set our app running at port 8081.

Run React Redux CRUD App

You can run our App with command: npm start.
If the process is successful, open Browser with Url: http://localhost:8081/ and check it.

This React Client will work well with following back-end Rest APIs:
– Express, Sequelize & MySQL
– Express, Sequelize & PostgreSQL
– Express, Sequelize & SQL Server
– Express & MongoDb
– Spring Boot & MySQL
– Spring Boot & PostgreSQL
– Spring Boot & MongoDB
– Spring Boot & SQL Server
– Spring Boot & H2
– Spring Boot & Cassandra
– Spring Boot & Oracle
– Python/Django & MySQL
– Python/Django & PostgreSQL
– Python/Django & MongoDB

Conclusion

Today we’ve built a React Redux CRUD Application example successfully with React Router & Axios. Now we can consume REST APIs, display, search and modify data with Redux Store in a clean way. I hope you can make API call (GET/POST/PUT/DELETE) in your project at ease.
