Presentational component specifies look of the component where as Container component specifies how the behavior of it. I would recommend reading Presentation vs container components.
In well architected react-redux app, Container components have two major responsibilities:
- Re-render the presentational component when store updates
- Define the behavior of presentational components by passing the necessary data and dispatch callbacks to update the store
Generating containers component without connect from react-redux
Generating containers component with connect from react-redux
- In this approach, the container components do not need to access the redux store via context. Hence, they do not need to specify the contextType explicitly.
