What? Redux is a state management tool for Javascript applications. It stores state in a separate component and allows you to access any part of state from any component without having to pass things from parent to child in the form of props. It also allows you to update state from anywhere in your application by using “actions”. When your application starts to scale up and you are needing to use pieces of information in multiple components, passing things down as props can make your code be over saturated. Redux helps solve that problem.
