If you want a really neat UI to show what the store looks when actions are dispatched to the store, use the [Redux DevTools extension](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/redux-devtools/lmhkpmbekcpmknklioeibfkpmmfibljd).
This extension (available for Chrome and Firefox) is a work of genius! It lets you replay actions and step backwards to debug the current state of a Redux application. In a large enough application, this kind of debuggability is invaluable. It also helps developers who are not familiar with your application to quickly get a handle on how the state changes in response to some actions.
# Exercise
## Visualize state changes with Chrome extension
If you still have `npm test` running from the previous step, stop it with `ctrl+C`. Start the app by running `npm start` from the root of the `frontend-bootcamp` folder. Click the "exercise" link under day 2 step 6.
1. Install the [Redux DevTools Chrome extension](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/redux-devtools/lmhkpmbekcpmknklioeibfkpmmfibljd)
2. Hit F12 (`cmd+option+I` on Mac) and open the inspector panel entitled **Redux**
3. Modify `exercise/src/index.tsx` to dispatch actions (you're not limited to adding todos; you can also remove and clear)
4. Explore the actions' effects using the extension
## Playing with dispatching actions inside tests
Stop the app using `ctrl+C` and start the tests by running `npm test`.
1. Open `exercise/src/reducers/reducer.spec.ts`
2. Follow the instructions to fill out the reducer tests
