Resetting the store to a specific state

There might be situations where you need to reset the store to a specific state, bypassing the regular action dispatch and middleware pipeline. The store.resetToState method allows you to do this.

Use this method with care, as it can introduce side effects if not handled properly. It's primarily intended for scenarios like restoring an initial state or implementing time-traveling debugging.

Usage:

import { inject } from 'aurelia-dependency-injection';
import { Store } from 'aurelia-store';
import { initialState, State } from './state';

@inject(Store)
export class App {
  constructor(private store: Store<State>) {}

  resetToInitialState() {
    this.store.resetToState(initialState);
  }
}

This code will immediately replace the current state with the initialState, without going through the regular action dispatch process. Any active subscriptions will receive the new state.

States reset using resetToState are not tracked by the Redux DevTools, so it might affect your debugging workflow if you rely heavily on time-travelling.
