Manually dispatching actions

        this.setState({course: course});
    }

    onClickSave() {
        // since we didn't define a mapDispatchToProps function, connect automatically adds a dispatch prop to the
        // component.
        this.props.dispatch(courseActions.createCourse(this.state.course));

const mapStateToProps = (state, ownProps) => {
    return {

    };

export default connect(mapStateToProps)(CoursesPage);

//another way to do this is:
// connectedStateAndProps = connect(mapStateToProps, mapDispatchToProps);
// export default connectedStateAndProps(CoursesPage);
