Gain insights into modern Redux usage with Redux Toolkit and React-Redux hooks. Delve into updated patterns and practices through comprehensive tutorials. Explore and apply contemporary Redux concepts.

Hi, I'm Mark Erikson, also known as @acemarke, and I'm a Redux maintainer

I wrote this course in 2017. Many of the concepts are still relevant, but Redux usage has changed significantly. We now teach Redux Toolkit as the standard approach for writing Redux logic, and React-Redux hooks as the default for components.

I'd recommend reading through the Redux core docs tutorials, which have been rewritten to explain the "modern Redux" patterns we teach today:

https://redux.js.org/tutorials/index

I've made this course free if you'd still like to go through it.

Mark helps people learn Redux almost every day.  I guess he has seen all the challenging questions about it by now. So if you are learning Redux, I highly recommend to go with his course, because it comes with all his gathered experiences about the topic

Practical Redux is the missing manual for how to use Redux in real-world apps, full of practical ideas on project structure, handling complex data, and best practices. I highly recommended it for anyone using Redux in a real app.

Mark is _the_ guy when it comes to explaining Redux. The course builds upon (& goes above and beyond) his awesome series of posts on Practical Redux. It’s full of actionable advice that applies to a range of apps… there were a couple of things I myself learned from it, and I’m no stranger to Redux. Definitely a must!

The majority of ***Project Mini-Mek***'s functionality thus far has involved the "Pilots" tab, so we'll work with that.  We've already added the ability to select a current pilot from the list, and delete a pilot, so let's add a context menu that offers that capability as well.

> **[Commit a6eb7ed: Implement a context menu for pilots list items](https://github.com/markerikson/project-minimek-educative/commit/a6eb7edf1f3e5088598992dccb6edfb87f33bfbf)**

**[features/pilots/PilotsList/PilotsListItemMenu.jsx](https://github.com/markerikson/project-minimek-educative/blob/a6eb7edf1f3e5088598992dccb6edfb87f33bfbf/src/features/pilots/PilotsList/PilotsListItemMenu.jsx)**
```jsx
import React, { Component } from 'react'
import {connect} from "react-redux";
import { Menu } from 'semantic-ui-react'

import {selectPilot} from "../pilotsActions";
import {deleteEntity} from "features/entities/entityActions";
import {hideContextMenu} from "features/contextMenus/contextMenuActions";

const actions = {
    selectPilot,
    deleteEntity,
    hideContextMenu,
}

export class PilotsListItemMenu extends Component {
    onSelectClicked = () => {
        this.props.selectPilot(this.props.pilotId);
        this.props.hideContextMenu();
    }

    onDeleteClicked = () => {
        this.props.deleteEntity("Pilot", this.props.pilotId);
        this.props.hideContextMenu();
    }

    render() {
        return (
            <Menu vertical>
                <Menu.Item>
                    <Menu.Header>Pilot: {this.props.text} </Menu.Header>
                    <Menu.Menu>
                        <Menu.Item onClick={this.onSelectClicked}>Select Pilot</Menu.Item>
                        <Menu.Item onClick={this.onDeleteClicked}>Delete Pilot</Menu.Item>
                    </Menu.Menu>
                </Menu.Item>
            </Menu>
        )
    }
}

export default connect(null, actions)(PilotsListItemMenu);
```

Our pilots menu will take two props: the ID of a pilot, and some text that will be the name of the pilot that was clicked on.  We show the pilot name in the header, and use `props.pilotId` to tell the action creators what pilot to select or delete.

**[features/pilots/PilotsList/PilotsListRow.jsx](https://github.com/markerikson/project-minimek-educative/blob/a6eb7edf1f3e5088598992dccb6edfb87f33bfbf/src/features/pilots/PilotsList/PilotsListRow.jsx)**
```diff
import {getEntitiesSession} from "features/entities/entitySelectors";
+import {deleteEntity} from "features/entities/entityActions";
import {showContextMenu} from "features/contextMenus/contextMenuActions";

const actions = {
    deleteEntity,
+   showContextMenu,
};


-const PilotsListRow = ({pilot={}, onPilotClicked=_.noop, selected, deleteEntity}) => {
+const PilotsListRow = ({pilot={}, onPilotClicked=_.noop, selected, deleteEntity, showContextMenu}) => {
    const {
        id = null,
        name = "",


// skip ahead

+   const onRowRightClicked = (e) => {
+       e.preventDefault();
+       e.stopPropagation();
+
+       const {pageX, pageY} = e;
+       showContextMenu(pageX, pageY, "PilotsListItemMenu", {text: pilot.name, pilotId : id});
+   }

    return (
-       <Table.Row onClick={onRowClicked} active={selected}>
+       <Table.Row onClick={onRowClicked} onContextMenu={onRowRightClicked}  active={selected}>
            <Table.Cell>
                {name}
            </Table.Cell>
```

Over in the `PilotsListRow` component, we'll add a right-click handler on the entire row, and use the click coordinates in the page as the x/y location values for showing the menu.  We also pass along the pilot name and ID values to the menu.

It's worth noting that the `PilotsListRow` component is a functional component that now has a lot going on inside of it.  Frankly, it probably ought to be converted to a class component at this point, but I haven't yet gotten around to doing that.

With that menu implemented, let's try it out:
