Storing offline content using Redux

Redux is an excellent tool for keeping track of an app's state while it it's running. But what if we have data that we need to store without using an API? For instance, we could save the state of a component so that when a user closes and reopens the app, the previous state of that component can be restored, allowing us to persist a piece of an app's persistent across sessions. Redux data persistence could also be useful for caching information to avoid calling the API more than necessary. You can refer to the Masking the application upon network connection loss recipe in Chapter 8, Working with Application Logic and Data, for more information on how to detect and handle network connectivity status.
