CodePen Training – Mastering CodePen: Redux Store Setup & State Management

🔥 In Part 10 of the Mastering CodePen series, we introduce Redux—a powerful state management library—to help you manage complex application state right inside your CodePen projects.

✅ What you’ll learn in this video:
✔️ What Redux is and why it matters for React and frontend apps
✔️ Setting up Redux in CodePen with React and Redux Toolkit via CDN
✔️ Creating your first Redux store with configureStore()
✔️ Defining slices with reducers and actions using createSlice()
✔️ Connecting Redux store to React components using Provider and useSelector / useDispatch hooks
✔️ Managing global state: add, update, and delete actions
✔️ Debugging Redux state changes with DevTools extension (overview)
✔️ Best practices for scalable state management in frontend apps

💡 Why Redux Matters:
🔹 Centralizes your app state for easier debugging and testing
🔹 Helps manage data flow in medium to large applications
🔹 Integrates seamlessly with React for predictable UI updates
🔹 Foundation for advanced patterns like middleware and async logic
