Initialize Redux Application State Using The State ADT

Not only will we need to give our initial state to a Redux store, we will also need to be able to reset our state at any time by dispatching an action. We can get the best of both worlds by having a function that will return an object with all of our initial values in it. Then use that function to craft a State ADT transition that will throw out whatever our previous state was and replace it with the original initial state.

We’ll not only build out an initialize state transaction, but also use that new transaction to craft an action creator to expose a means to dispatch at any time an action that will reset our state.
