The normal way to set initial state (that overrides a reducer's own default initial state) while creating a store is to provide a second argument to createStore (how to set initial state in redux). But I've unfortunately cobbled together a tangle of stuff (pardon the mixed metaphor) that I don't really understand and I don't know where to put my desired initial state:
const composeEnhancers = window.__REDUX_DEVTOOLS_EXTENSION_COMPOSE__ || compose;
const store = createStore(
rootReducer,
composeEnhancers(
applyMiddleware(...middleware)
)
);
I hope no one asks to see my combineReducers and middleware construction code 'cause that's even more embarrassing.
Still use second argument:
const store = createStore(
rootReducer,
{ your: { initial: { state: {} } } },
composeEnhancers(
applyMiddleware(...middleware)
)
);
