Provider in react-redux

Question

I am learning redux to manage state of the application. I am going through official docs http://redux.js.org for it.

I gotcha use of redux but in the usecase they have placed <App /> inside <Provider> . Can anyone suggest me what <Provider> do ?

import React from 'react'
import { render } from 'react-dom'
import { Provider } from 'react-redux'
import { createStore } from 'redux'
import todoApp from './reducers'
import App from './components/App'

let store = createStore(todoApp)

render(
  <Provider store={store}>
    <App />
  </Provider>,
  document.getElementById('root')
)

Answer 1

In their git repository, they provide a description of what the <Provider> is and how it's used, please see the link

Basically, the <Provider> enables the redux store for the application. So you can connect your containers to the store
