Redux Saga: Managing Side Effects with Generators
Redux Saga runs side effects in a separate thread-like process. It listens for Redux actions and executes complex async tasks, like API calls, keeping that logic out of your components.
Think of Redux Saga as a separate thread for your app's side effects. It uses ES6 generators to listen for Redux actions and execute complex asynchronous tasks, like API calls, outside your components. This is ideal for managing intricate flows like debouncing or concurrent requests. The common footgun is misunderstanding `yield`: it pauses the saga's execution, not your entire application, keeping the UI responsive while the side effect runs.
