## What it is
A Redux middleware library that transforms actions with Promise payloads into pending and fulfilled/rejected actions for handling async action creators. It supports chaining actions with Redux Thunk and optimistic updates.

## Use cases
- handle async actions in redux with pending and fulfilled states
- dispatch promise-based action creators in redux
- implement optimistic updates in a redux app
- chain redux actions after a promise resolves
- catch errors from rejected promises in redux reducers
- use async/await with redux actions

## When to choose
- you use Redux and want declarative async action lifecycle handling
- you need automatic pending/fulfilled/rejected action types from a single dispatch
- you want optimistic update support in Redux

## When to avoid
- you use Redux Toolkit, which has built-in createAsyncThunk
- your app does not use Redux
- you need server-side data fetching with caching (use React Query or similar)
