# Tutorial
This tutorial walks you through the features of `Updux` using the
time-honored example of the implementation of Todo list store.
We'll be using
[updeep](https://www.npmjs.com/package/updeep) to
help with immutability and deep merging,
but that's totally optional. If `updeep` is not your bag,
it can easily be substitued with, say, [immer][], [lodash][], or even
plain JavaScript.
## Definition of the state
To begin with, let's define that has nothing but an initial state.
```js
import { Updux } from 'updux';
const todosDux = new Updux({
initial: {
next_id: 1,
todos: [],
}
});
```
Congrats! You have written your first Updux object. It
doesn't do a lot, but you can already create a store out of it, and its
initial state will be automatically set:
```js
const store = todosDux.createStore();
console.log(store.getState()); // prints { next_id: 1, todos: [] }
```
## Add actions
This is all good, but a little static. Let's add actions!
```js
const todosDux = new Updux({
initial: {
next_id: 1,
todos: [],
},
{
addTodo: null,
todoDone: null,
}
});
```
### Accessing actions
Once an action is defined, its creator is accessible via the `actions` accessor.
```js
console.log( todosDux.actions.addTodo('write tutorial') );
// prints { type: 'addTodo', payload: 'write tutorial' }
```
### Adding a mutation
Mutations are the reducing functions associated to actions. They
are defined via the `setMutation` method:
```js
todosDux.setMutation( 'addTodo', description => ({next_id: id, todos}) => ({
next_id: 1 + id,
todos: [...todos, { description, id, done: false }]
}));
```
