RFC make `persistStore` return `persistor` in a promise

First, love the repo, it’s magic!

I’ve got 2 sources of data: 1 comes down from the server, and another is stored locally. I get both together & then start the app (in this case, call my router).

Putting all my router logic in the callback function works, but I’d love it if the persistor was returned in a promise, after all, it’s not like we could really use it before the data is rehydrated anyways, right?

That way, we could get rid of the callback and just write something like: const persistor = await persistStore()

if folks don’t use the persistor, then there’s no breaking change.

👍 the current API is awkward to use and makes the code ugly. I see no reason why I’d want to purge the store while it’s loading. I would assume that would break something.

What actually might be useful is a way to only purge with no loading (i.e. purge previously saved state). That is not supported right now as far as I’m aware. The API would look something like this:

const persistor = persistStore(store, config); // drop the callback, and don't auto-load

// explicit load
persistor.load(callback); // calls the callback
persistor.load();         // returns promise

// fully controlled purge, can be called before or after loading
persistor.purge();

This hasn’t been responded to in a long while, so I’m going to mark it as stale. Please feel free to continue the conversation and I’ll reopen.
