The Redux Store — Subscriptions, Middleware, and Action Creators

A Redux store is the single object that holds state, dispatches actions, and notifies subscribers — but its real power comes from middleware, which intercepts every dispatched action and lets you add logging, analytics, or persistence without touching your reducers. After this lesson you can create a Redux store with combineReducers, subscribe a render function to re-draw on state changes, persist state to localStorage via a custom saver middleware, and log every dispatched action via a logger middleware.
