Reducers are the function that makes the transition happen. As a result, a reducer is a pure function that takes a current state and an action as a parameter and then returns a brand new state object. It's important to know that a new state is an updated copy of the old one, as getting a new reference helps with change detection in most JavaScript frameworks. Also reducers only performs synchronous state changes. We'll see later another kind of feature called effect is used for asynchronous changes. Here is a simple example of reducer. Let's go for it line by line. First, a reducer is a function. Its first parameter is the current state, and if none is passed, we use the initial state of the application as a default.
