If you want a really neat UI to show what the store looks when actions are dispatched to the store, use this Chrome extension:

# Dispatch
As long as there is a store reference, you can dispatch an action to trigger the middleware and reducers which in term changes the store which in turn will cause re-renders in the view.
```ts
store.dispatch(actions.addTodo('id0', 'hello world'));
```
> Note: It is important to note that dispatches in general have a "fire and forget" approach. We expect React to re-render the UI correct on its own accord. Rendering isn't necessarily synchronous in React!
# `getState()`
To examine the state of the store, you can call `getState()` to get the current snapshot of the state.
```ts
store.getState();
```
The Chrome / Firefox extension is a work of genius! It lets you replay actions and step backwards to debug the current state of Redux. In a large enough application, this kind of debuggability is invaluable! It also helps developers that are not immediately familiar with your application to quickly get a handle on how the state changes over some actions.
