I’m trying to understand the connect method of react-redux, and the functions it takes as parameters. In particular mapStateToProps().
The way I understand it, the return value of mapStateToProps will be an object derived from state (as it lives in the store), whose keys will be passed to your target component (the component connect is applied to) as props.
This means that the state as consumed by your target component can have a wildly different structure from the state as it is stored on your store.
Q: Is this OK?
Q: Is this expected?
Q: Is this an anti-pattern?
