+This package is a high-order reducer that updates state using entities from [normalizr](https://github.com/paularmstrong/normalizr).
+By default, it expects the action to have a property of `entities` or to follow the [`flux-standard-action` spec](https://github.com/acdlite/flux-standard-action).
+However, it is possible to pass a data resolver ([see Parameters](#parameter-data-resolver)) if your case doesn't match either of those.  
+
+## Why
+**Why does this package exist?**
 
-Allows for updates to entities in state. Accepts custom reducers to further control.
+One of the best things to store in redux is data from server requests. Additionally, working with items stored in redux is best done when the data is normalized.
+To simplify the storing of the data, this package will handle updating state with fresh normalized data.
+ 
+Entities Reducer is a high-order reducer, which means it will accept more reducers for further customizations.
+The custom reducers are passed directly to `combineRecuders` from redux and should be passed into `entities-reducers` with the same format. 
 
-## Usage
+## Installation
+```
+npm install --save entities-reducer
+--- or ---
+yarn add entities-reducer
+```
 
+Then add to your root reducer:
 ```javascript
 import { combineReducers } from 'redux';
 import entitiesReducer from 'entities-reducer';

 export default rootReducer;
 ```
 
+## Parameters
+
+```javascript
+entitiesReducer(reducers, { dataResolver })
+```
+
+### (#parameters-reducers) Reducers
+Reducers are passed directly into `combineReducers` from redux, after the entities have been updated in state. It is called with the updated state and immediately returned. 
+
+### (#parameters-data-resolver) dataResolver
+The data resolver is a lookup function that is passed the action and returns the entities object to use while updating.
+If the data resolver returns a falsy value the `entities-reducer` will skip process and move directly to handling the custom reducers. 
+Below is a customer dataResolver example, or you can checkout the [default resolver](src/index.js). 
+**Example**
+```javascript
+const customDataResolver = (action) => {
+  if (action.error) {
+    return false;
+  }
+  return action.data.extra.normalized;
+}
+```
