Redux - Combined Reducers

Review, Research, and Discussion

1. Why choose Redux instead of the Context API for global state?
   • It makes it easier to manage large amounts of state for larger apps, but context works just fine for smaller apps.
2. What is the purpose of a reducer?
   • It reduces a collection, and gives out single solitary state that is distributed, determined by the action given.
3. What does an action contain?
   • The logic to handle an event.
4. Why do we need to copy the state in a reducer?
   • To save initial state, and not override it.

Vocab

1. immutable state
   • state that is unable to be changed, and can be used to as a backup for anything that you wish to revert back too.
2. time travel in redux
   • ability to to look through different states of state.
3. action creator
   • logic that determines the action.
4. reducer
   • It reduces a collection, and gives out single solitary state that is distributed, determined by the action given.
5. dispatch
   • to execute or return an action.
