black-lion

The core of your Arus project, BlackLion is the link between the front and backend of your project. It uses Redux to store data and trigger changes within your app.

Redux uses a combination of Reducers and Actions to handle changes to state within an app.

Reducers

Reducers handle the actual modification of the state given a specified action.

Reducer Documentation

Actions
