# Redux Thunk Thunk [middleware](https://redux.js.org/tutorials/fundamentals/part-4-store#middleware) for Redux. It allows writing functions with logic inside that can interact with a Redux store's `dispatch` and `getState` methods. For complete usage instructions and useful patterns, see the [Redux docs **Writing Logic with Thunks** page](https://redux.js.org/usage/writing-logic-thunks).  [](https://www.npmjs.com/package/redux-thunk) [](https://www.npmjs.com/package/redux-thunk) ## Installation and Setup ### Redux Toolkit If you're using [our official Redux Toolkit package](https://redux-toolkit.js.org) as recommended, there's nothing to install - RTK's `configureStore` API already adds the thunk middleware by default: ```js import { configureStore } from '@reduxjs/toolkit' import todosReducer from './features/todos/todosSlice' import filtersReducer from './features/filters/filtersSlice' const store = configureStore({ reducer: { todos: todosReducer, filters: filtersReducer } }) // The thunk middleware was automatically added ``` ### Manual Setup If you're using the basic Redux `createStore` API and need to set this up manually, first add the `redux-thunk` package: ```sh npm install redux-thunk yarn add redux-thunk ``` The thunk middleware is the default export.

More Details: Importing the thunk middleware

If you're using ES modules: ```js import thunk from 'redux-thunk' // no changes here 😀 ``` If you use Redux Thunk 2.x in a CommonJS environment, [don’t forget to add `.default` to your import](https://github.com/reduxjs/redux-thunk/releases/tag/v2.0.0): ```diff - const thunk = require('redux-thunk') + const thunk = require('redux-thunk').default ``` Additionally, since 2.x, we also support a [UMD build](https://unpkg.com/redux-thunk/dist/redux-thunk.min.js) for use as a global script tag: ```js const ReduxThunk = window.ReduxThunk ```

Then, to enable Redux Thunk, use [`applyMiddleware()`](https://redux.js.org/api/applymiddleware): ```js import { createStore, applyMiddleware } from 'redux' import thunk from 'redux-thunk' import rootReducer from './reducers/index' const store = createStore(rootReducer, applyMiddleware(thunk)) ``` ### Injecting a Custom Argument Since 2.1.0, Redux Thunk supports injecting a custom argument into the thunk middleware. This is typically useful for cases like using an API service layer that could be swapped out for a mock service in tests. For Redux Toolkit, the `getDefaultMiddleware` callback inside of `configureStore` lets you pass in a custom `extraArgument`: ```js import { configureStore } from '@reduxjs/toolkit' import rootReducer from './reducer' import { myCustomApiService } from './api' const store = configureStore({ reducer: rootReducer, middleware: getDefaultMiddleware => getDefaultMiddleware({ thunk: { extraArgument: myCustomApiService } }) }) // later function fetchUser(id) { // The `extraArgument` is the third arg for thunk functions return (dispatch, getState, api) => { // you can use api here } } ``` If you need to pass in multiple values, combine them into a single object: ```js const store = configureStore({ reducer: rootReducer, middleware: getDefaultMiddleware => getDefaultMiddleware({ thunk: { extraArgument: { api: myCustomApiService, otherValue: 42 } } }) }) // later function fetchUser(id) { return (dispatch, getState, { api, otherValue }) => { // you can use api and something else here } } ``` If you're setting up the store by hand, the named export `withExtraArgument()` function should be used to generate the correct thunk middleware: ```js const store = createStore(reducer, applyMiddleware(withExtraArgument(api))) ``` ## Why Do I Need This? With a plain basic Redux store, you can only do simple synchronous updates by dispatching an action. Middleware extends the store's abilities, and lets you write async logic that interacts with the store. Thunks are the recommended middleware for basic Redux side effects logic, including complex synchronous logic that needs access to the store, and simple async logic like AJAX requests.

While the thunk middleware is not directly included with the Redux core library, it is used by default in our **[`@reduxjs/toolkit` package](https://github.com/reduxjs/redux-toolkit)**. ## Motivation Redux Thunk [middleware](https://redux.js.org/tutorials/fundamentals/part-4-store#middleware) allows you to write action creators that return a function instead of an action. The thunk can be used to delay the dispatch of an action, or to dispatch only if a certain condition is met. The inner function receives the store methods `dispatch` and `getState` as parameters. An action creator that returns a function to perform asynchronous dispatch: ```js const INCREMENT_COUNTER = 'INCREMENT_COUNTER' function increment() { return { type: INCREMENT_COUNTER } } function incrementAsync() { return dispatch => { setTimeout(() => { // Yay! Can invoke sync or async actions with `dispatch` dispatch(increment()) }, 1000) } } ``` An action creator that returns a function to perform conditional dispatch: ```js function incrementIfOdd() { return (dispatch, getState) => { const { counter } = getState() if (counter % 2 === 0) { return } dispatch(increment()) } } ``` ## What’s a thunk?! A [thunk](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunk) is a function that wraps an expression to delay its evaluation. ```js // calculation of 1 + 2 is immediate // x === 3 let x = 1 + 2 // calculation of 1 + 2 is delayed // foo can be called later to perform the calculation // foo is a thunk! let foo = () => 1 + 2 ``` The term [originated](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunk#cite_note-1) as a humorous past-tense version of "think". ## Composition Any return value from the inner function will be available as the return value of `dispatch` itself. This is convenient for orchestrating an asynchronous control flow with thunk action creators
