title: Extract Local State into Redux

## Extract Local State into Redux

### Hint 1
You need to change the following sections:
* default state declarations: remove `messages`
* `submitMessage`: use `props`
* `render`: the unordered list should use `props` instead of `this.state.messages`

### Hint 2
Replace `this.state.messages` with `this.props.messages`.

### Hint 3
The `submitMessage` function still needs to set the state of the `input`.


### Solution

```jsx
// Redux:
const ADD = 'ADD';

const addMessage = (message) => {
  return {
    type: ADD,
    message: message
  }
};

const messageReducer = (state = [], action) => {
  switch (action.type) {
    case ADD:
      return [
        ...state,
        action.message
      ];
    default:
      return state;
  }
};

const store = Redux.createStore(messageReducer);

// React:
const Provider = ReactRedux.Provider;
const connect = ReactRedux.connect;

// Change code below this line
class Presentational extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    
    // Remove property 'messages' from Presentational's local state
    this.state = {
      input: ''
    }
    this.handleChange = this.handleChange.bind(this);
    this.submitMessage = this.submitMessage.bind(this);
  }
  handleChange(event) {
    this.setState({
      input: event.target.value
    });
  }
  submitMessage() {
  
    // Call 'submitNewMessage', which has been mapped to Presentational's props, with a new message;
    // meanwhile, remove the 'messages' property from the object returned by this.setState().
    this.props.submitNewMessage(this.state.input);
    this.setState({
      input: ''
    });
  }
  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <h2>Type in a new Message:</h2>
        <input
          value={this.state.input}
          onChange={this.handleChange}/><br/>
        <button onClick={this.submitMessage}>Submit</button>
        <ul>
           {/* The messages state is mapped to Presentational's props; therefore, when rendering,
               you should access the messages state through props, instead of Presentational's
               local state. */}
          {this.props.messages.map( (message, idx) => {
              return (
                 <li key={idx}>{message}</li>
              )
            })
          }
        </ul>
      </div>
    );
  }
};
// Change code above this line

const mapStateToProps = (state) => {
  return {messages: state}
};

const mapDispatchToProps = (dispatch) => {
  return {
    submitNewMessage: (message) => {
      dispatch(addMessage(message))
    }
  }
};

const Container = connect(mapStateToProps, mapDispatchToProps)(Presentational);

class AppWrapper extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <Provider store={store}>
        <Container/>
      </Provider>
    );
  }
};
  ```
