Redux Persist Transform Immutable

Add immutable sub-reducer support to redux-persist.

NOTE this handles immutable state on a per-reducer basis. If your top level state is an Immutabel Map, use redux-persist-immutable

Usage

import { compose } from 'redux'
import { persistStore, autoRehydrate } from 'redux-persist'
import immutableTransform from 'redux-persist-transform-immutable'
const reducer = combineReducers(reducers)
const store = compose(autoRehydrate(), createStore)(reducer)

persistStore(store, {transforms: [immutableTransform()]})

Usage with Records

By default, immutable Records will be persisted and restored as Maps, because the library has no way of knowing what your Record constructor looks like. To change this behavior and allow a Record to be persisted and restored as a Record instance, you'll need to do two things:

1. Add a name attribute to your record (this is the second argument to a Record's constructor).
2. Pass your Record constructor to the transformer's withRecords() function to generate a transformer capable of serializing and deserializing the record.

Minimal example:

import { compose } from 'redux'
import { persistStore, autoRehydrate } from 'redux-persist'
import immutableTransform from 'redux-persist-transform-immutable'

const reducer = combineReducers(reducers)
const store = compose(autoRehydrate(), createStore)(reducer)

const MyRecord = Record({
  foo: 'null'
}, 'MyRecord') // <- Be sure to add a name field to your record 

persistStore(
  store,
  {
    transforms: [immutableTransform({records: [MyRecord]})]
  }
)

Avoiding Unnecessary Serialization

By default, redux-persist-immutable-transform will serialize and deserialize all passed objects using transit-immutable-js. If you are concerned about performance, you can either whitelist or blacklist reducer that you know are not immutable.

Example state object:

state = {
  username: 'john',
  imageUri: 'images/profilePic.png',
  friends: Immutable.List([ ... ])
}

Set up the transformer to ignore the string-based reducer keys:

persistStore(store, {
  transforms: [immutableTransform({
    blacklist: ['username', 'imageUri']
  })]
})

/* OR */

persistStore(store, {
  transforms: [immutableTransform({
    whitelist: ['friends']
  })]
})
