Introduction

The architectural foundation for Lore is built around Redux.

Understanding Redux will signifcantly demystify how Lore works, and will make it much easier to reason about what's happening.

Where does Redux show up in Lore?

Pretty much every where.

• All data in the application flows through Redux.
• The actions that communicate with APIs are all Redux action creators.
• All data is stored in Redux reducers.
• The Master component is subscribed to Redux store to make sure your application updates when the data changes.
• The connect decorator inspects the Redux store state to determine whether the data you requested exists, of it an action needs to be invoked.
