so.. i am planning to use redux to store the state of a boardgame
(figure positions mostly)
1. what is the correct way for a reducer to fail ? eg. from a illegal action by the player
2. is it a smart idea to serialize the actions and have the client send to the server ?
3. assuming thats not a stupid idea.. can i hook up the store to autmatically send any changes via network (ktor and websocket)

[Robert Jaros]

reducer never fails - it just puts the failure into the state object (e.g. an error message which will be displayed)

[Nikky]

would throwing a exception get passed through to the store.dispatch(action) call ?

[Robert Jaros]

reducer should be pure function - imho it should never throw an exception

[Nikky]

so i should store error and handle it afterwards ? guess that works too
