Redux-Saga
/ˈriːˌdʌks ˈsɑːɡə/
n. “Side effects choreographed elegantly.”
Redux-Saga is a middleware library for Redux designed to handle complex asynchronous operations and side effects in a predictable, manageable way. Unlike Redux Thunk, which allows action creators to return functions for async logic, Redux-Saga uses generator functions to express side effects as declarative “sagas,” making flows easier to read, test, and control.
Redux-Thunk
/ˈriːˌdʌks θʌŋk/
n. “Async made predictable.”
Redux Thunk is a middleware for Redux that allows you to write action creators which return functions (thunks) instead of plain action objects. This capability is crucial for handling asynchronous logic in Redux applications, such as fetching data from APIs, performing delayed operations, or orchestrating complex side effects.
