Lesson 52 of 55
25 mins readPython Building a Type-Safe State Store
In Plain English
Synthesize your TypeScript knowledge by implementing a predictable, type-safe unidirectional data store using discriminated unions, generics, and immutable state updates.
Core Rules to Remember

Discriminated Action Unions: Enforces type-safe action dispatching and payload shapes.

Generic State Store: Store<S, A> encapsulates state mutations behind pure reducers.

Micro Exercise
Dispatch a Custom Store Action
Add a new action type { type: "DECREMENT"; payload: number } to a number counter store.
Initialize state at 10, dispatch { type: "DECREMENT", payload: 4 }, and print `Remaining: ${state.count}`.
