How do you connect React components to the Redux store?

You connect components with the React-Redux library, in three steps:
Wrap the app once in the Provider component, so every component below it can reach the store.
Read data with the useSelector hook. It runs your selector function and re-renders the component when the selected value changes.
Send actions with the useDispatch hook, which returns the store's dispatch function.
Select only the data a component needs, like state.todos, rather than the whole state object. A component that selects everything re-renders on every state change. The older connect function with mapStateToProps still works, but the hooks are the recommended default.
// App.js
import { Provider } from 'react-redux';
<Provider store={store}>
<App />
</Provider>
// Component
import { useSelector, useDispatch } from 'react-redux';
const todos = useSelector(state => state.todos);
const dispatch = useDispatch();
