Send an action at application launch?

[sbeitzel]

I would like to send an, "application has launched," event into the store at startup time, to kick off background data fetching &c., and I'm wondering what's the right way to do that. I've already tried putting it in an .onAppear block on my main view, but that seems actually to be executed multiple times (that is, every time the view changes from one thing to another).

For the moment, I've stored a boolean on the application's State to record whether or not the "application launched" action has come through the reducer. The app's reducer checks the boolean and if it's false, flips it to true and fires off all the background fetch requests, otherwise it does nothing. This works, but it feels a little inelegant.

Hello, @sbeitzel
It is possible to call ViewStore(store).send(.appLaunched) in the initializer of the main view. In this case the appLaunched action will be called a single time and it allows to start all required requests.

Wasn't there a PR that was merged recently that allows sending actions directly from a Store instance?

store.send(.appLaunched)

There was, and I just forgot about it for a moment. Thank you!

Try putting store.send(.appLaunched) in the App struct’s init. Best,Nevill WilderOn Jul 10, 2023, at 17:00, Cosmic Flamingo ***@***.***> wrote: Wasn't there a PR that was merged recently that allows sending actions directly from Store? store.send(.appLaunched) —Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub, or unsubscribe.You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.Message ID: ***@***.***>
