Why Is My Redux State Not Persisting on Page Refresh in ReactJS?

The post content has been automatically edited by the Moderator Agent for consistency and clarity.

I'm using redux-persist to store authentication data in my Redux state. The data is correctly saved when navigating to another page after signing in, but when I refresh the page, the persisted state is lost.

I have tried various approaches including using and omitting the whitelisting parameter. Below are my relevant code snippets:

persistStorage.js

JAVASCRIPT
import { configureStore } from '@reduxjs/toolkit'; import { persistStore, persistCombineReducers } from 'redux-persist'; import storage from 'redux-persist/lib/storage'; import authReducer from './authStorage' const persistConfig = { key: 'root', storage, serializableCheck: { ignoredActions: ['SOME_ACTION'], warnOnly: true, } }; const persistedReducer = persistCombineReducers(persistConfig, authReducer); const store = configureStore({ reducer: persistedReducer }); export const persistor = persistStore(store);

authStorage.js

JAVASCRIPT
import { createSlice } from '@reduxjs/toolkit'; const initialState = { token: "", id: "" }; const authSlice = createSlice({ name: 'auth', initialState, reducers: { setToken(state, action) { state.token = action.payload; }, setID(state, action) { state.id = action.payload; }, clear(state) { state.token = null; state.id = null; }, }, });

SignIn.js

JAVASCRIPT
export const { setToken, setID, clear } = authSlice.actions; export default authSlice.reducer; import { useState, useRef } from "react"; import { useMutation } from "@apollo/client"; import { useNavigate } from "react-router-dom"; import { useCookies } from "react-cookie"; import Header from '../components/Header'; import InputField from "../components/InputField"; import { useDispatch, useSelector } from 'react-redux'; import { auth } from "../../index"; import { setToken, setID } from '../../authStorage'; import { SIGN_IN } from "../../queries/accountQueries.js"; import "../../style/signIn.css"; function SignIn() { const [email, setEmail] = useState(""); const [password, setPassword] = useState(""); const [ signIn, { data, loading, error }] = useMutation(SIGN_IN); const [ cookies, setCookie ] = useCookies(['session']) const navigate = useNavigate(); const dispatch = useDispatch(); let signedIn = useRef(false); const setValue = (newValue, valueType) => { if (valueType === "Email") setEmail(newValue); else setPassword(newValue); } if (loading) return <p>Loading...</p>; else if (error) { alert("error"); return <p>Error :({JSON.stringify(error, null, 2)}</p>; } else if (data != undefined && !signedIn.current) { signedIn.current = true dispatch(setToken(data.employeeSignIn.auth)); // stores data with Redux dispatch(setID(data.employeeSignIn.id)); auth.signInKey = null; setCookie("session", data.employeeSignIn.session, { options: { maxAge: 7200 } }) navigate('/two-factor-auth'); } return( <> <Header view={false} /> <div className="content centered flex col"> <form className="centered" onSubmit={(e) => { e.preventDefault(); auth.signInKey = process.env.REACT_APP_SIGN_IN_KEY; signIn({ variables: { email: email, password: password } }) }}> <h2>Sign in</h2> <InputField label="Email" value={email} onChangeState={setValue} /> <InputField type="password" label="Password" value={password} onChangeState={setValue} /> <input type="submit" className="button centered"/> </form> </div> </> ) } export default SignIn;

index.js

JAVASCRIPT
root.render( <ApolloProvider client={client}> <Provider store={store}> <PersistGate loading={null} persistor={persistor}> <RouterProvider router={router} /> </PersistGate> </Provider> </ApolloProvider> );

I have reviewed several posts related to this issue (see linked posts below), but haven't found the solution yet.

Based on your code and the common pitfalls with redux‐persist, one likely issue is how you’re combining reducers. In your persistStorage.js you have:

JAVASCRIPT
const persistedReducer = persistCombineReducers(persistConfig, authReducer);

The function persistCombineReducers expects an object mapping of slice names to reducers. When you only have a single reducer, you have two options:

  1. Wrap your reducer in an object:

    JAVASCRIPT
    const persistedReducer = persistCombineReducers(persistConfig, { auth: authReducer });

    Then update your store accordingly. Keep in mind that you’ll need to adjust your selectors since your state will be nested (e.g., state.auth.token).

  2. Alternatively, use persistReducer if you have only one reducer:

    JAVASCRIPT
    import { persistReducer } from 'redux-persist'; // ... const persistedReducer = persistReducer(persistConfig, authReducer);

    Then configure your store with this persisted reducer.

Both approaches ensure redux‑persist is correctly combining or wrapping the reducer, which is likely why your updated state is lost upon refresh. Make sure after making these changes that your PersistGate is correctly set up in index.js, as you already have:

JAVASCRIPT
root.render( <ApolloProvider client={client}> <Provider store={store}> <PersistGate loading={null} persistor={persistor}> <RouterProvider router={router} /> </PersistGate> </Provider> </ApolloProvider> );

Once you correct how your reducer is set up for persistence, your Redux state should rehydrate correctly after a page refresh.

Issue

The issue is that you are using persistCombineReducers which expects to consume an object of ReducersMapObject, specifically

TYPESCRIPT
ReducersMapObject<CombinedState<S>, Action<any>>

https://github.com/rt2zz/redux-persist/blob/d8b01a085e3679db43503a3858e8d4759d6f22fa/src/persistCombineReducers.ts#L10-L21

TYPESCRIPT
// combineReducers + persistReducer with stateReconciler defaulted to autoMergeLevel2 // eslint-disable-next-line @typescript-eslint/no-unused-vars export default function persistCombineReducers<S, A extends Action>( config: PersistConfig<any>, reducers: ReducersMapObject<CombinedState<S>, Action<any>> ): Reducer<any, AnyAction> { config.stateReconciler = config.stateReconciler === undefined ? autoMergeLevel2 : config.stateReconciler return persistReducer(config, combineReducers(reducers)) }

but you are passing it a reducer function, e.g.

TYPESCRIPT
Reducer< { token: string; id: string; }, UnknownAction, { token: string; id: string; } >

The result is that your store is malformed and none of your state is persisted to storage:

Storeredux-devtools
Storagelocal-storage

Solution Suggestion

Either pass an object of reducers to persistCombineReducers:

TYPESCRIPT
const persistedReducer = persistCombineReducers(persistConfig, { auth: authReducer, });
Storeredux-devtoolse
Storagelocal-storage

or use persistReducers to handle the single auth reducer function:

TYPESCRIPT
import { persistStore, persistReducer } from "redux-persist"; ... const persistedReducer = persistReducer(persistConfig, authReducer);
Storeredux-devtools
Storagelocal-storage

The issue was that I imported store from a separate file than from persistStorage in index.js.

I had this:

JAVASCRIPT
import store from './store' import { persistor } from "./persistStorage"

I should have had this:

JAVASCRIPT
import { persistor, store } from "./persistStorage"
