+# Reducers
+Documentation of generated Redux code for reducers.
+
+## Example
+The `helloWorld/reducers/index.jsx` example that results from running the generator with the Redux option may be slightly confusing because of its simplicity. For clarity, what follows is a more fleshed-out example of what a reducer might look like:
+
+```javascript
+import usersReducer from './usersReducer';
+import blogPostsReducer from './blogPostsReducer';
+import commentsReducer from './commentsReducer';
+// ...
+
+import { $$initialState as $$usersState } from './usersReducer';
+import { $$initialState as $$blogPostsState } from './blogPostsReducer';
+import { $$initialState as $$commentsState } from './commentsReducer';
+// ...
+
+export default {
+  $$usersStore: usersReducer,
+  $$blogPostsStore: blogPostsReducer,
+  $$commentsStore: commentsReducer,
+  // ...
+};
+
+export const initalStates = {
+  $$usersState,
+  $$blogPostsState,
+  $$commentsState,
+  // ...
+};
+```
