### Container Components

Now it’s time to hook up those presentational components to Redux by creating some containers. Technically, a container component is just a React component that uses [`store.subscribe()`](../api/Store.md#subscribe) to read a part of the Redux state tree and supply props to a presentational component it renders. You could write a container component by hand but React Redux includes many useful optimizations so we suggest to generate container components with [`connect()`](https://github.com/reactjs/react-redux/blob/master/docs/api.md#connectmapstatetoprops-mapdispatchtoprops-mergeprops-options) function from the React Redux library.

(One result of this is that you shouldn’t have to worry about the [React performance suggestion](https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/advanced-performance.html) of implementing `shouldComponentUpdate` yourself.)

To use `connect()`, you need to define a special function called `mapStateToProps` that tells how to transform the current Redux store state into the props you want to pass to a presentational component you are wrapping. For example, `VisibleTodoList` needs to calculate `todos` to pass to the `TodoList`, so we define a function that filters the `state.todos` according to the `state.visibilityFilter`, and use it in its `mapStateToProps`:
