## The idea behind the example
This example, just like `with-react` and `with-mobx` examples, shows how to manage a global state in your web-application.
In this case we are using refnux which is an alternative, simpler, purely functional store state manager.
We have two very similar pages (page1.js, page2.js). They both
- show the current application state, including a simple counter value
- have a link to jump from one page to the other
- have an 'increment' button to increment the state of the counter
(it triggers the `counterIncrement` action)
When running the example, please, increment the counter and note how moving from page 1 to page 2 and back the state is persisted.
Reloading any of the pages will restore the initial state coming from the server.
### Implementation details
Each page uses `withRefnux` helper which wraps the page in a Provider component.
Page components are connected to the state using refnux `connect` function.
In the `store/` directory you can see a simple implmentation of
- a `getInitialstate` function that returns the initial state of the store. It's used only on SSR
- a `counterIncrement` action that increments the counter state whe user pushes the corresponding button
- a `setTitle` action that's used to set page title during pages `getInitialProps`
