What is a Redux store?

Re-explain

A Redux store is the object that holds your app's complete state tree, and the only place where that state can change. A standard Redux app has a single store.

Its main methods are:

  • getState() returns the current state.
  • dispatch(action) sends an action, which runs the reducer and saves the new state.
  • subscribe(listener) registers a listener that runs after each dispatch, and returns a function that unregisters it.

The core createStore function still works but is deprecated. Modern code uses Redux Toolkit's configureStore, which also adds the thunk middleware and connects Redux DevTools.

import { configureStore } from '@reduxjs/toolkit';
const store = configureStore({ reducer });
