Is store.dispatch in Redux synchronous or asynchronous

Question

I realize this is a basic question but I had no luck finding the answer elsewhere.

Is store.dispatch synchronous or asynchronous in Redux ?

Answer 1

AFAIK, dispatching action is synchronous. In case if you are willing to address the asynchronous call, you can use the thunk-middleware in redux, where dispatch is provided as a callback function which you can invoke as per your convenience.
