Description

The Redux store object provides several methods that allow you to interact with it. For example, you can retrieve the current state held in the Redux store object with the getState() method.

Instructions

The code from the previous challenge is re-written more concisely in the code editor. Use store.getState() to retrieve the state from the store, and assign this to a new variable currentState.

Tests

tests:
  - text: The redux store should have a value of 5 for the initial state.
    testString: assert(store.getState()===5, 'The redux store should have a value of 5 for the initial state.');
  - text: A variable <code>currentState</code> should exist and should be assigned the current state of the Redux store.
    testString: getUserInput => assert(currentState === 5 && getUserInput('index').includes('store.getState()'), 'A variable <code>currentState</code> should exist and should be assigned the current state of the Redux store.');

Challenge Seed

const store = Redux.createStore(
  (state = 5) => state
);

Solution

const store = Redux.createStore(
  (state = 5) => state
);
