Comment by Marcus on "Is it common to fetch data from the backend for every React view that needs access to data, or is there a different, efficient way to do this?"

Correct me if I am wrong but isn't this what Redux is for? I would assume you would create all your views and have them tied to a piece of state.

I would also assume you could have the state initialized with the data from the backend so that your views don't have a promise call. And have lets say a save button or something be the even that triggers an save to the back end directly while also updating the state.

But I am very new to React but come from Angular and that's how I keep from ever having to to call to the back end from my view. Is there not a way to preload a routes state with content before the page even loads?
