A Redux store enhancer is a higher-order function that takes a store creator function and returns a new enhanced store creator function. The createStore method is a store creator which has the following signature:
createStore = (reducer, preloadedState, enhancer) => Store
While a store enhancer function has the following signature:
enhancer = (...optionalArguments) => ( createStore => (reducer, preloadedState, enhancer) => Store )
It may look a bit difficult to understand now, but you don't really have to worry if you don't get it at first because you will probably never need to write a store enhancer. The purpose of this recipe was simply to help you to understand their purpose in a very simple way.
