Questions:
What’s the best practice for “pre-loading” data into the store (on application start) in a Redux application?
useEffect can be used effectively to run any async functions needed on loading and seed your store with data.
When using a thunk/async action that dispatches the actual action, which do you export from your reducer?
Thunk middleware works by allowing you to write action creators that return a function rather than an action. The inner function that is exported receives the store methods dispatch and getState as parameters
