Question: Can I generateStore() with extra initialState?

[aceshim]

Hi, I am trying to initialize drizzle store with my custom initial states

let initialState = {
   name: 'jshim',
   age: 18,
}
const drizzleStore = generateStore({
   drizzleOptions,
   // I want to put it like this
   initialState,
}

In generateStore() , there is no way to pass down the initialState.

Hi @pensivej,

There isn't a way to set an initialState for a contract field. This is calculated from a contract's abi.

Drizzle does, however, support passing custom middle-wares, reducers and sagas to be managed by its redux instance. If this is your use case, you can define the initial state by setting the default state object in the associated reducer.

// Note: todosReducer's initial state will be `[]`
const todosReducer = (state = [], action) => {
 if (action.type === TODOS_RECEIVED) {
   // update your state
   return action.todos
 }
 return state
}
