How to use redux

• import { connect } from 'react-redux';
• import your desired action from actions folder
• create mapStateToProps function where state is 'main redux object' and then access desired parametes by returning an object with them
• export your component with pattern: export default connect(mapStateToProps, {<put your imported actions here>})(<component>);
• after this you can call your actions with this.props.<name of action>
• and you can access your imported from redux state parameters with this.props.<name of parameter>
