Gain insights into Redux fundamentals, explore application-based problems, and discover how to effectively manage state in React environments with this beginner's guide to state management.

This course is a beginner's gateway into the mechanics of using Redux as an application building platform. It takes a bottom-up approach, enforcing the basic aspects of Redux before incorporating them together in a creative and interactive way. It begins with a short theoretical section before moving on to application based problems. 
The course does assume that the user has a basic idea of how React works, as Redux works in the React environment. Let's dive in!

Understanding Redux: A Beginner's Guide To State Management

In the last lesson, we decided to make use of multiple reducers to handle all the fields in the state object:

Now, for every field in the state object, we will create a corresponding reducer. The current ones at this stage are, contacts and user.

Let’s go over how this affects our code first, then I’ll take a step back to explain how it works again.

Take a look at reducer/index.js:

Here, we'll implement the use of multiple reducers by making separate files for each field e.g. contacts, user etc. and then merging them into one combined reducer.
