What is difference between Redux and redux-thunk?

Redux and redux-thunk can be categorized as “State Management Library” tools. Redux and redux-thunk are both open source tools. It seems that Redux with 49.5K GitHub stars and 12.8K forks on GitHub has more adoption than redux-thunk with 12.6K GitHub stars and 683 GitHub forks .

While I wouldn’t say Redux Saga is inherently better than any of the alternatives available, it does have a few benefits that might make you want to consider using it . Redux Saga offers a place completely decoupled from your action creators for you to handle your application’s side effects.

The benefit of Redux-Saga in comparison to Redux-Thunk is that you can more easily test your asynchronous data flow . Redux-Thunk, however, is great for small projects and for developers who just entered into the React ecosystem. The thunks’ logic is all contained inside of the function.
