Adds an extra 'options' argument to the register method which allows to use deep equality instead of a shallow one when comparing the current and the previous selections.
Jitsi Meet - redux state persistence
Jitsi Meet has a persistence layer that persists specific subtrees of the redux store/state into window.localStorage (on Web) or AsyncStorage (on mobile).
Usage
If a subtree of the redux store should be persisted (e.g.
'features/base/settings'), then persistence for that subtree should be
requested by registering the subtree with PersistenceRegistry.
For example, to register the field displayName of the redux subtree
'features/base/settings' to be persisted, use:
PersistenceRegistry.register('features/base/settings', {
displayName: true
});
in the reducer.js of the base/settings feature.
If the second parameter is omitted, the entire feature state is persisted.
When it's done, Jitsi Meet will automatically persist these subtrees and rehydrate them on startup.
Throttling
To avoid too frequent write operations in the storage, we utilize throttling in the persistence layer, meaning that the storage gets persisted only once every 2 seconds, even if multiple redux state changes occur during this period. The throttling timeout can be configured in
react/features/base/storage/middleware.js#PERSIST_STATE_DELAY
Serialization
The API JSON.stringify() is currently used to serialize feature states, therefore its limitations affect the persistency feature too. E.g. complex objects, such as Maps (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Map) or Sets (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Set) cannot be automatically persisted at the moment. The same applies to Functions (which is not a good practice to store in Redux anyhow).
