Redux Concepts & Immutability
Redux provides a solid foundation for managing application state. By enforcing a unidirectional data flow, your UI remains predictable and easier to debug.
The Store
The Store brings actions and reducers together. It holds the application state, allows access to state via getState(), and allows state to be updated via dispatch(action).
Actions & Payloads
Actions are plain JavaScript objects. They must have a type property that indicates the type of action being performed. You can also attach data to the action, conventionally called the payload.
Reducers & Purity
Reducers specify how the application's state changes in response to actions. It is crucial that reducers are pure functions. They should never mutate the arguments passed to them or perform side effects (like API calls). Always return a new copy of the state!
