How to dispatch a separate custom action in react-admin?

I want to dispatch a plain redux action of my own choosing on app startup, and trap it in a custom saga, within an <Admin> app. I've read the doc about custom action creators but (a) it only describes how to plug this to subcomponents using the react-admin infrastructure, and (b) using connect in App.js crashes the app because it Could not find "store" in either the context or props of "Connect(App)". I can't wrap the root component in a <Provider>, or explicitly pass "store" as a prop to "Connect(App)" as it suggests, because I can't find any way to get a reference to the redux store used in react-admin.



How do I get hold of the store, so I can just dispatch e.g. type: 'MY_CUSTOM_ACTION' to it? Do I have to make a completely Custom App? Seems a lot of overhead when all I want is to dispatch a really simple action to an existing redux store. react-admin has hooks already in place for custom reducers and custom sagas to handle any type of action, but I can't find anything to dispatch them with.



Thanks!

  • BTW, if there's an existing 'on app startup' action I can catch in my saga, that'd work fine for my current issue. (I couldn't find a reliable one even by doing takeEvery('*') and seeing all actions). But I'm still interested to know how to dispatch custom actions via the store.

  • What you are trying to achieve is a side effect. Sagas are here to handle side effects. Just create a custom saga that dispatches an action upon start.
