How to use connect() from React Redux?
You need to follow two steps to use your store in your container:
typescript
1. **Use `mapStateToProps()`:** It maps the state variables from your store to the props that you specify.
2. **Connect the above props to your container:** The object returned by the `mapStateToProps` function is connected to the container. You can import `connect()` from `react-redux`.
jsx
import React from "react";
import { connect } from "react-redux";
class App extends React.Component {
render() {
return <div>{this.props.containerData}</div>;
}
}
function mapStateToProps(state) {
return { containerData: state.data };
}
export default connect(mapStateToProps)(App);
