@abdonrd I haven't looked much into Redux 4 -- do you expect this to be just a dependency update, or to actually require code changes?

[frankiefu]

There is an issue with redux-devtools-extension + Redux v4: reduxjs/redux#2943

Because of that and maybe other compatibility issues react-boilerplate also hasn't updated to Redux v4 yet.

Cool, lets hold off it for a bit then! Thanks for investigating, Frankie! ❤️

Ok so, looking at Redux 4 breaking changes, it seems like nothing will affect this project. To test this out, I tried to clone the repo and simply update the redux dependency. As @frankiefu already said, redux devtools will break everything, but in an incognito window everything kept working like a charm, so I can confirm that besides the devtools extension problem, updating to Redux 4 does not require any changes in the code. The great thing is that Redux 4 does not depend on lodash anymore, so we will save a lot of extra bytes too (and it is also much faster!)

@notwaldorf with the comments of @frankiefu and @Dabolus, I have nothing more to say! 😁

Small update: seems like redux-devtools-extension has been abandoned 😕

[AshGrowem]

@notwaldorf @frankiefu I think the incompatibility issue just got resolved?

• Redux 4.0 support? zalmoxisus/redux-devtools-extension#499 (comment)

Someone should test it out! According to this comment, it right now only works from manually installing the latest npm package.

@Dabolus 9 new commits 🌱since June 15th, so it looks like the redux-devtools-extension repo was brought back to life! ☺️

Also react-boilerplate is now updated to Redux v4

@ashrafhadden nice to see that collaborators brought it back to life! The original author is still inactive, though. I hope someone else manages to update the extension on the chrome web store so that we can safely migrate to Redux 4!
