00:00:00,650 --> 00:00:03,850
In less video we added in a ton of boilerplate to our project.

2
00:00:03,950 --> 00:00:08,570
But as we saw we're still getting this air around the fact that we do not have reducers folder or an

3
00:00:08,570 --> 00:00:10,390
index such as file inside there.

4
00:00:10,490 --> 00:00:12,450
So let's take care of that very quickly.

5
00:00:12,530 --> 00:00:19,130
Back inside my SIRC folder I'll make a new folder called reducers and inside of there I'll make a new

6
00:00:19,130 --> 00:00:22,100
file called the index such as file.

7
00:00:22,100 --> 00:00:30,560
So as we've seen previously we can import combine reducers from redux and then we can export default

8
00:00:30,830 --> 00:00:34,970
combine reducers and we'll pass that thing and object.

9
00:00:34,970 --> 00:00:39,440
Now at present we have nothing to put inside this object because we don't have any reducers inside of

10
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:40,460
application.

11
00:00:40,460 --> 00:00:45,740
Sure we'll talk about what reducers we need in just a moment but we don't have any reducer whatsoever

12
00:00:45,740 --> 00:00:46,420
to put in here.

13
00:00:46,430 --> 00:00:47,660
As it stands.

14
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:51,730
So let's just try saving the file as is and see if our application works now.

15
00:00:53,220 --> 00:00:58,650
I flip back over I'll see that while my text is displaying here on the screen.

16
00:00:58,670 --> 00:01:00,380
You know I see that Aztec's to appear.

17
00:01:00,470 --> 00:01:05,710
I can open up my console and unfortunately I'm getting a little kind of warning message here.

18
00:01:05,810 --> 00:01:07,900
Really I would call this an error not a warning.

19
00:01:07,940 --> 00:01:11,820
It only appears to be kind of a warning because our application still appeared on the screen.

20
00:01:11,870 --> 00:01:13,470
But this definitely is an error.

21
00:01:13,700 --> 00:01:17,320
So the air here says that our store does not have a valid reducer.

22
00:01:17,450 --> 00:01:18,890
And hey that totally makes sense.

23
00:01:18,890 --> 00:01:23,840
We called Combined reducers but we don't have any reducers to pass to it just yet.

24
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:28,340
So it turns out that this happens rather frequently when you're first getting started on any given redux

25
00:01:28,340 --> 00:01:29,480
project.

26
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:33,710
You might start up the project put together some boilerplate but you don't know what reducers you're

27
00:01:33,710 --> 00:01:34,460
going to need.

28
00:01:34,460 --> 00:01:38,630
So you just kind of want get your application working and get that error message to go away.

29
00:01:38,750 --> 00:01:43,020
You might eventually come back and add in some reducers which would solve the problem but maybe for

30
00:01:43,050 --> 00:01:46,190
right now we don't really want to work on the reducers inside of our app at all.

31
00:01:46,190 --> 00:01:50,520
Maybe we want to work on the Riak side of the project or something like that.

32
00:01:50,540 --> 00:01:53,950
So as a little work around there's a tiny little trick that we can do here.

33
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,880
I would barely even call it a trick.

34
00:01:55,970 --> 00:02:02,150
Inside the combined reducers call I can put in some dummy key like some dummy variable you can be total

35
00:02:02,150 --> 00:02:08,170
jibberish like that if I want to it can be literally the word dummy or even something like replace me.

36
00:02:08,330 --> 00:02:14,060
And then we can assign a dummy key an arrow function that is always going to return some fixed value.

37
00:02:14,060 --> 00:02:18,110
Like maybe the number 10 or the number 9 9 9 or the string.

38
00:02:18,110 --> 00:02:19,450
Hi there.

39
00:02:19,580 --> 00:02:21,290
There's no purpose to this thing right here.

40
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:25,120
It's just tricking redux into thinking that it has a valid reducer.

41
00:02:25,250 --> 00:02:26,150
That's it.

42
00:02:26,210 --> 00:02:29,380
And the only reason we're doing this is to get that error message to go away.

43
00:02:29,630 --> 00:02:33,650
Like I said anytime you start up a redux project you're probably going to want to do something like

44
00:02:33,650 --> 00:02:39,140
this very briefly until you get a really good idea of how to structure your reducers in what reducers

45
00:02:39,140 --> 00:02:40,500
you're going to need.

46
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:45,110
So now that I've got the dummy producer inside of here I can flip back over the error message has gone

47
00:02:45,110 --> 00:02:45,830
away.

48
00:02:46,310 --> 00:02:51,950
So now we are free to work on all the different other aspects of our application such as enhancing some

49
00:02:51,950 --> 00:02:55,760
Riak components or maybe creating some action creators or whatever it might be.

50
00:02:55,850 --> 00:03:00,480
And we don't have to worry about the fact that redux is just refusing to play ball.

51
00:03:00,510 --> 00:03:04,440
So now we've kind of got some leverage here and we could start working on anything that we want now

52
00:03:04,450 --> 00:03:08,670
to be honest Republican to start working on the reducers first but hey that's just life.

53
00:03:08,670 --> 00:03:12,530
I just want to show you this little thing that you can do to get that your message to go away.

54
00:03:12,540 --> 00:03:15,620
All right let's take another quick pause right here and we'll continue in the next section.
