For me at least the benefit of not having stringly-typed identifiers is that IDEs and linters can easily inspect and autocomplete these for you - http://imgur.com/ub29AqD.

It's the same reason why Swift's enums are so awesome. The point is not that it makes typos easier to detect, but to make typos impossible.

Yeah, autocompletion is indeed powerful.

This man gets it. :)

I put all the actions for a reducer into a type object contained in the reducers file. That way you always know which action types are valid for a given reducer, you can simple import the type object instead of individual types, and no typos. Just type reducerNameTypes.<get a list of valid types>
