# --description--
|
|
|
|
Redux is a state management framework that can be used with a number of different web technologies, including React.
|
|
|
|
In Redux, there is a single state object that's responsible for the entire state of your application. This means if you had a React app with ten components, and each component had its own local state, the entire state of your app would be defined by a single state object housed in the Redux `store`. This is the first important principle to understand when learning Redux: the Redux store is the single source of truth when it comes to application state.
|
|
|
|
This also means that any time any piece of your app wants to update state, it **must** do so through the Redux store. The unidirectional data flow makes it easier to track state management in your app.
|
|
|
|
# --instructions--
|
|
|
|
The Redux `store` is an object which holds and manages application `state`. There is a method called `createStore()` on the Redux object, which you use to create the Redux `store`. This method takes a `reducer` function as a required argument. The `reducer` function is covered in a later challenge, and is already defined for you in the code editor. It simply takes `state` as an argument and returns `state`.
|
|
|
|
Declare a `store` variable and assign it to the `createStore()` method, passing in the `reducer` as an argument.
|
|
|
|
**Note:** The code in the editor uses ES6 default argument syntax to initialize this state to hold a value of `5`. If you're not familiar with default arguments, you can refer to the [ES6 section in the Curriculum](https://learn.freecodecamp.org/javascript-algorithms-and-data-structures/es6/set-default-parameters-for-your-functions) which covers this topic.

# --hints--
|
|
|
|
The Redux store should exist.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(typeof store.getState === 'function');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The Redux store should have a value of 5 for the state.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(store.getState() === 5);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const reducer = (state = 5) => {
|
|
return state;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// Redux methods are available from a Redux object
|
|
// For example: Redux.createStore()
|
|
// Define the store here:
|
|
```
|
|
|

# --solutions--
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const reducer = (state = 5) => {
|
|
return state;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
const store = Redux.createStore(reducer);
|
|
```
