Avoid store state updates if nothing changed

[remmeier]

e.g. POST_STORE_RESOURCE should not update the store if there is no change.

I already started working on it and have a couple of updates pending...

[remmeier]

a first update is committed.

something better than Object.assign would be great that those this automatically.

Do you mean you want to replace all the Object.assign? Lodash has something ready.

[remmeier]

which one do you mean? I was looking for something that works like Object.assign({}, values1, values2) but returns values1 if values2 does not result in any further changes. Kind of a "Object.immutableAssign"

Goal would be to avoid manual equals checks and automatically return the old state if no changes were applied. Naturally it would not be to difficult to implement that manually if it not covered by lodash or something.

I see what you mean now, no I don't know about the existence of such function. It is good to have it.

If you want to implement this, you may find useful the new object spread feature in TypeScript 2.1, see https://blog.mariusschulz.com/2016/12/23/typescript-2-1-object-rest-and-spread
