Is it possible to know if it's the first rendering?

I'm migrating from connected-react-router and it has a feature that on the first rendering, the LOCATION_CHANGE action has a property named isFirstRendering . Is there a feature similar to this?

Thanks

Hi @danieldhp, redux-first-history does not depend on react rendering lifecycle, it sync state with history since his creation, so there is no first render.

I should be simple add a flag for first location action dispatch here, https://github.com/salvoravida/redux-first-history/blob/master/src/actions.ts#L17

But I think it is useless.

What's your use case?

I was using this is a few places to trigger actions that should only happen (or should not happen) on first page load (loading data, authentication etc) but I managed to replace the behaviour by using (rxjs) first() operator and skip(1) to take or ignore the first location change action.
