In Redux, if you edit the user's name, that would dispatch/trigger an action {type: 'SET_USER_NAME', payload: 'New Name'}. The store would take the current state and the action and generate the new state. Then it would send it to React to cause a re-render of everything to the virtual DOM (not just everywhere the username was, but actually the entire view). And then it diffs the vDOM with the real DOM and updates the real DOM anywhere it's different.

Slightly pedantic point, but I was under the impression the diff didn't touch real DOM unless there was a change required, and just dirty checked the virtual DOM - ie. doing everything in memory without a bunch of DOM access was where the performance came from?
