I took the stopwatch jsx template provided and converted it to typescript (tsx) and implemented the redux part via the createSlice provided by the redux-toolkit npm module
index.html - create root node & load main.tsx
main.tsx - load store and wrap app in a provider for that store
The store loaded in this step is created via the redux-toolkit configureStore hiding the bag of functions like: createStore, compose, applyMiddleware, and combineReducers.
stopwatchSlice.ts - Defines the slice I will use. This is a slice of the overall global redux store and contains within it the actions and reducers that are needed to interact with the state we will be managing in this application.
App.tsx - Create and render the Stopwatch component (yes that's it)
Stopwatch.tsx - Grab state via useSelector and use this state instead of useState. Grab a dispatcher via useDispatch() for updating state.
To build the project run npm run build to use the vite bundler. An attempt was made to use grunt but it doesn't understand modern things like es6 imports or typescript. The efforts made therein were fraught with peril and ultimately fruitless. The decision to abort this attempt was made in the interest of time and the desire to use modern supported tools for modern supported conventions.
