This release marks the original createStore
API as @deprecated
to encourage users to migrate to Redux Toolkit, and adds a new legacy_createStore
API as an alias without the deprecation warning.
Redux Toolkit (the @reduxjs/toolkit
package) is the right way for Redux users to write Redux code today:
https://redux.js.org/introduction/why-rtk-is-redux-today
Unfortunately, many tutorials are still showing legacy "hand-written" Redux patterns, which result in a much worse experience for users. New learners going through a bootcamp or an outdated Udemy course just follow the examples they're being shown, don't know that RTK is the better and recommended approach, and don't even think to look at our docs.
Given that, the goal is to provide them with a visual indicator in their editor, like createStore . When users hover over the createStore
import or function call, the doc tooltip recommends using configureStore
from RTK instead, and points them to that docs page. We hope that new learners will see the strikethrough, read the tooltip, read the docs page, learn about RTK, and begin using it.
To be extremely clear:
WE ARE NOT GOING TO ACTUALLY REMOVE THE createStore
API, AND ALL YOUR EXISTING CODE WILL STILL CONTINUE TO WORK AS-IS!
We are just marking createStore
as "deprecated":
"the discouragement of use of some feature or practice, typically because it has been superseded or is no longer considered efficient or safe, without completely removing it or prohibiting its use"
For additional details, see the extensive discussion in #4325 .
Rationaleredux
core package, or fully deprecate the entire redux
package and rename it to @reduxjs/core
. Unfortunately, those bring up too many complexities:
redux-starter-kit
to @reduxjs/toolkit
, and all of our docs and tutorials have pointed to it for the last three years. I don't want to put users through another whiplash package transition for no real benefitSo, this is the minimum possible approach we can take to reach out to users who otherwise would never know that they are following outdated patterns, while avoiding breaking running user code or having to completely rewrite our package and repo structure.
ResultsWhen a user imports createStore
in their editor, they will see a visual strikethrough. Hovering over it will show a doc tooltip that encourages them to use configureStore
from RTK, and points to an explanatory docs page:
Again, no broken code, and no runtime warnings.
If users do not want to see that strikethrough, they have three options:
configureStore
legacy_createStore
API that is now exported, which is the exact same function but with no @deprecation
tag. The simplest option is to do an aliased import rename:createStore
as deprecated, and add legacy_createStore
alias by @markerikson in #4336Full Changelog: v4.1.2...v4.2.0
