@adamziel @jsnajdr I've learned today that:

  • you can call private selectors like that in "thunks"
  • you can't (or at least I didn't see any way to do it) call unlock( select ).somePrivateSelector() in "thunks".
  • The first approach is buggy because I had to pass state.root instead of just state (state.root should be just an internal thing, the store author shouldn't even know it exists).

Fixing that bug is going to be a breaking change. Maybe we can still "proxy" .root and deprecate it somehow though. I'm not fixing this in this unrelated PR but just wanted to let you know about this.

Thunks themselves are a private implementation detail of the store. The user of the store doesn't see how a particular action is implemented.

Therefore, the thunk should be able to see the private selectors and actions without having to unlock anything. The select object passed into a thunk should be already "unlocked", it should expose all the private selectors and let you call select.getUndoEdits() directly.

The same applies to private actions and the dispatch object.

Note that the ability to pass functions to select and dispatch, i.e., calling them as select( state => state.foo ) or dispatch( { type: 'BAR' } ), is also unique to thunks -- see how the thunkArgs properties are constructed with Object.assign here. This allows the thunk to access the state directly and dispatch actions to the reducer directly.

If select doesn't expose private selectors, we need to fix the thunkArgs construction: instead of getSelectors() we need to get the "unlocked" selectors.

The first approach is buggy because I had to pass state.root instead of just state

It seems like this was intentional because we're passing store.__unstableOriginalGetState() to select() here. If we didn't want that, we could very easily pass store.getState(). Or was this an oversight that I and @adamziel didn't catch 2 years ago?

Yes, I tried without unlocking and it doesn't work, these things are not available.

I'd argue that it's oversight because all selectors receive the "state" and not the "original state" with metadata (which is an internal thing added by the data module).
