`import { createSlice } from '@reduxjs/toolkit'

const initialState = {
value: 0,
}

export const counterSlice = createSlice({
name: 'counter',
initialState,
reducers: {
increment: (state) => {
// Redux Toolkit allows us to write "mutating" logic in reducers. It
// doesn't actually mutate the state because it uses the Immer library,
// which detects changes to a "draft state" and produces a brand new
// immutable state based off those changes
state.value += 1
},
decrement: (state) => {
state.value -= 1
},
incrementByAmount: (state, action) => {
state.value += action.payload
},
},
})

// Action creators are generated for each case reducer function
export const { increment, decrement, incrementByAmount } = counterSlice.actions

export default counterSlice.reducer`

i dont know where it is used name: 'counter', and whats its purpose

@saurabhkushwaha438 it's used as the prefix for action type strings, like "counter/increment".

[EskiMojo14]

it's also the default for reducerPath, which is used in a few places (combineSlices and .selectors)

[saurabhkushwaha438]

what if i dont use it , does action work , if yes then why we use this [name: 'counter']extra syntax

[EskiMojo14]

no, name is a required field.
