Initial state not loaded immediately

[olivierpascal]

I currently use store.dispatch({ type: '' }); just after createStore() as a workaround to make STATE_LOADING_START dispatched asap but it's quite ugly. Is it the expected way to do this?

@olivierpascal, use redux^3.7.2 and redux-async-initial-state^0.2.2

Any update on this? I had the same problem and adding store.dispatch({ type: '' }); fixed the problem but i don't like it. I use redux 4.0.5 and redux-async-initial-state 0.3.0.

Same problem here.

Nobody fix it yet?

I also faced the problem. Apart from what have been said, I can add that using more meaningful action type (for example, 'START-REDUX-ASYNC-INITIAL-STATE') can help understand the intention later:

store.dispatch({ type: 'START-REDUX-ASYNC-INITIAL-STATE' });

Also, if you are using electron-redux, you can add meta: {scope: 'local'} to not flood main process:

store.dispatch({ type: 'START-REDUX-ASYNC-INITIAL-STATE', meta: {scope: 'local'} });
