Here is the COMPLETE internal Redux flow diagram + exact internal code that explains everything end-to-end exactly how Redux works under the hood.
I’m giving:
✅ ASCII Diagram (Very clear)
✅ Internal store implementation (exact how Redux behaves)
✅ Internal middleware pipeline code
✅ Internal react-redux subscription model
✅ Internal Redux Toolkit slice generator code (simplified)

This is the entire lifecycle of Redux.
🧠 2. Internal Redux store implementation (simplified but accurate)
This is basically what Redux does internally:
// ------------------------------
// Mini Redux Implementation
// ------------------------------
function createStore(reducer) {
let state = reducer(undefined, { type: "@@INIT" });
let listeners = [];
return {
getState() {
return state;
},
dispatch(action) {
state = reducer(state, action);
listeners.forEach((l) => l());
return action;
},
subscribe(listener) {
listeners.push(listener);
return () => {
listeners = listeners.filter((l) => l !== listener);
};
},
};
}
function combineReducers(reducers) {
return function rootReducer(state = {}, action) {
const nextState = {};
for (let key in reducers) {
nextState[key] = reducers[key](state[key], action);
}
return nextState;
};
}
// ------------------------------
// Example Reducers
// ------------------------------
function counterReducer(state = { value: 0 }, action) {
switch (action.type) {
case "INCREMENT":
return { value: state.value + 1 };
case "DECREMENT":
return { value: state.value - 1 };
default:
return state;
}
}
function userReducer(state = { name: "" }, action) {
switch (action.type) {
case "SET_NAME":
return { name: action.payload };
default:
return state;
}
}
// ------------------------------
// Combine reducers & create store
// ------------------------------
const rootReducer = combineReducers({
counter: counterReducer,
user: userReducer,
});
const store = createStore(rootReducer);
// ------------------------------
// Demo Usage
// ------------------------------
store.subscribe(() => {
console.log("State updated:", store.getState());
});
store.dispatch({ type: "INCREMENT" });
store.dispatch({ type: "INCREMENT" });
store.dispatch({ type: "DECREMENT" });
store.dispatch({ type: "SET_NAME", payload: "Zeeshan" });
Key points:
✔ createSlice auto-generates actions
✔ Reducer is wrapped in Immer → allows mutation (draft)
✔ RTK is just a convenience layer over raw Redux
🚀 Complete Internal Flow (Everything Connected)
Component dispatches an action
│
▼
Middleware (optional)
│
▼
Slice reducer (from createSlice)
│
Immer produces immutable newState
│
▼
Redux store updates reference
│
▼
React-Redux selector checks old vs new
│
▼
If changed → re-render component
