My Experience with AsyncThunk in Redux Toolkit

Hey devs! I wanted to share something I’ve been using a lot at work that has made managing async calls in Redux much easier: the createAsyncThunk.

If, like me, you’ve struggled to keep async calls organized in Redux, here’s some good news: AsyncThunk simplifies it all in a super clean way.

Here’s a real example I used to fetch data with GraphQL:

Why do I love it?

1. Clean and organized: You can track the status of an async request (loading, success, or error) directly in the slice.
2. Less boilerplate: No need to manually write actions and reducers for async logic—it’s all handled automatically.
3. Easy maintenance: Everything lives in one place, making it simple to read and update when needed.

Since I started using createAsyncThunk, async calls in Redux have been so much smoother. If you haven’t tried it yet, I highly recommend it.
