Question

I am using Redux for state management.

The following solution works for me.

First on initiation of our application the reducer state is fresh and new with default InitialState.

We have to add an action that calls on APP inital load to persists default state.

While logging out of the application we can simple reAssign the default state and reducer will work just as new.

Main APP Container

  componentDidMount() {   
    this.props.persistReducerState();
  }

Main APP Reducer

const appReducer = combineReducers({
  user: userStatusReducer,     
  analysis: analysisReducer,
  incentives: incentivesReducer
});

let defaultState = null;
export default (state, action) => {
  switch (action.type) {
    case appActions.ON_APP_LOAD:
      defaultState = defaultState || state;
      break;
    case userLoginActions.USER_LOGOUT:
      state = defaultState;
      return state;
    default:
      break;
  }
  return appReducer(state, action);
};

On Logout calling action for resetting state

function* logoutUser(action) {
  try {
    const response = yield call(UserLoginService.logout);
    yield put(LoginActions.logoutSuccess());
  } catch (error) {
    toast.error(error.message, {
      position: toast.POSITION.TOP_RIGHT
    });
  }
}

Hope this solves your problem!
