I’ve added a repo for the source material of this series, check it out here: https://github.com/zhifez/react-redux-for-the-uninitiated

When do you use Saga?

For me, it was when I have to handle the data returned from an API, and pushing them into the Reducer.

If you remember how Reducer works:

1. An Action is first triggered by Redux dispatch. The Action usually comes in the form of an object that has a type and one or more optional parameters.

2. A Reducer then intercepts the type value, and provide a response — updating the states with whatever parameter that’s being passed in along with the action object.
