const ini         


        

Answer 1

push does not return the array, but the length of it (docs), so what you are doing is replacing the array with its length, losing the only reference to it that you had. Try this:

import {ADD_ITEM} from '../Actions/UserActions'
const initialUserState = {

    arr:[]
}

export default function userState(state = initialUserState, action){
     console.log(arr);
     switch (action.type){
        case ADD_ITEM :
          return { 
             ...state,
             arr:[...state.arr, action.newItem]
        }

        default:return state
     }
}

Answer 2

If you need to insert into a specific position in the array, you can do this:

case ADD_ITEM :
    return { 
        ...state,
        arr: [
            ...state.arr.slice(0, action.pos),
            action.newItem,
            ...state.arr.slice(action.pos),
        ],
    }

I have a sample

import * as types from '../../helpers/ActionTypes';

var initialState = {
  changedValues: {}
};
const quickEdit = (state = initialState, action) => {

  switch (action.type) {

    case types.PRODUCT_QUICKEDIT:
      {
        const item = action.item;
        const changedValues = {
          ...state.changedValues,
          [item.id]: item,
        };

        return {
          ...state,
          loading: true,
          changedValues: changedValues,
        };
      }
    default:
      {
        return state;
      }
  }
};

export default quickEdit;

Two different options to add item to an array without mutation

case ADD_ITEM :
    return { 
        ...state,
        arr: [...state.arr, action.newItem]
    }

OR

case ADD_ITEM :
    return { 
        ...state,
        arr: state.arr.concat(action.newItem)
    }
