// Call createStore with
// counter as the reducer
// manages the state update

/*
The store binds together the three
principles of Redux. It holds the 
current application state object,
it lets you dispatch actions and
when you create it you need to specify
the reducer that tells how state
is updated with actions.

// Retrives the current state of the
// redux store
console.log(store.getState());


// Lets you dispatch actions
// and change the state of your app
store.dispatch({type: 'INCREMENT'})
console.log(store.getState());


const render = () => {
  document.body.innerText = store.getState();
}

/* 
 Lets you register a callback
 The redux store will anytime
 an action has been dispatched
 so you can update the UI
 to reflect the current application
 state

store.subscribe(render);
render();


// Dispatch event with click
document.addEventListener('click', () => {
  store.dispatch({type: 'INCREMENT'});
