How to reset the state of a Redux store?

Question

I am using Redux for state management.

Answer 1

I have created actions to clear state. So when I dispatch a logout action creator I dispatch actions to clear state as well.

User record action

export const clearUserRecord = () => ({
  type: CLEAR_USER_RECORD
});

Logout action creator

export const logoutUser = () => {
  return dispatch => {
    dispatch(requestLogout())
    dispatch(receiveLogout())
    localStorage.removeItem('auth_token')
    dispatch({ type: 'CLEAR_USER_RECORD' })
  }
};

Reducer

const userRecords = (state = {isFetching: false,
  userRecord: [], message: ''}, action) => {
  switch (action.type) {
    case REQUEST_USER_RECORD:
    return { ...state,
      isFetching: true}
    case RECEIVE_USER_RECORD:
    return { ...state,
      isFetching: false,
      userRecord: action.user_record}
    case USER_RECORD_ERROR:
    return { ...state,
      isFetching: false,
      message: action.message}
    case CLEAR_USER_RECORD:
    return {...state,
      isFetching: false,
      message: '',
      userRecord: []}
    default:
      return state
  }
};

I am not sure if this is optimal?
