Problem Statement
What are the main advantages of using Redux Toolkit over vanilla Redux?
Explanation
Redux Toolkit dramatically reduces boilerplate code by auto-generating action creators and types, includes Immer for simpler immutable updates so you can write code that looks like mutations, and provides better defaults with configureStore that includes DevTools and middleware automatically. It enforces Redux best practices by design, simplifies async logic with createAsyncThunk, improves TypeScript support significantly, and makes the learning curve gentler for new developers. RTK also includes RTK Query for powerful data fetching capabilities, eliminating the need for separate data fetching libraries in many cases.
