# Redux Store Map

A big part of what makes soapbox-fe function is the [Redux](https://redux.js.org/) store.
Redux is basically a database of everything your frontend needs to know about in the form of a giant JSON object.

To work with Redux, you will want to install the [Redux browser extension](https://extension.remotedev.io/).
This will allow you to see the full Redux store when working in development.

Due to the large size of the Redux store in soapbox-fe, it's worth documenting the purpose of each path.

If it's not documented, it's because I inherited it from Mastodon and I don't know what it does yet.

- `dropdown_menu`

- `timelines`

- `meta` - User-specific data that is _not_ a frontend setting (see: `settings`).

  - `pleroma` - Pleroma specific metadata about the user pulled from `/api/v1/accounts/verify_credentials` (excluding the pleroma_settings_store)

- `alerts`

- `loadingBar` - Managed by [react-redux-loading-bar](https://github.com/mironov/react-redux-loading-bar)

- `modal`

- `user_lists`

- `domain_lists`

- `status_lists`

- `accounts` - Data for all accounts you've viewed since launching the page, so they don't have to be downloaded twice.

- `accounts_counters`

- `statuses` - Data for all statuses you've viewed since launching the page, so they don't have to be downloaded twice.

- `relationships`

- `settings` - Any frontend configuration values that should be persisted to the backend database. This includes user preferences as well as metadata such as emoji usage counters. It uses [`pleroma_settings_store`](https://docs-develop.pleroma.social/backend/API/differences_in_mastoapi_responses/#accounts) to do it if it's available. If there's some other endpoint that handles your value, it doesn't belong here.

- `push_notifications`

- `mutes`

- `reports`

- `contexts`

- `compose`

- `search`

- `media_attachments`

- `notifications`

- `height_cache`

- `custom_emojis`

- `identity_proofs`

- `lists`

- `listEditor`

- `listAdder`

- `filters`

- `conversations`

- `suggestions`

- `polls`

- `trends`

- `groups`

- `group_relationships`

- `group_lists`

- `group_editor`

- `sidebar`

- `patron` - Data related to [soapbox-patron](https://gitlab.com/soapbox-pub/soapbox-patron)

- `soapbox` - Soapbox specific configuration pulled from `/instance/soapbox.json`. The configuration file isn't required and this map can be empty.

- `instance` - Instance data pulled from `/api/v1/instance`

- `me` - The account ID of the currently logged in user, 'null' if loading, and 'false' if no user is logged in.

- `auth` - Data used for authentication

  - `app` - Map containing the app used to make app requests such as register/login and its access token.

  - `user` - Map containing the access token of the logged in user.
