Common Mistakes

A somewhat common mistake is to write an input selector that extracts a value or does some derivation, and a result function that just returns its result:

// ❌ BROKEN: this will not memoize correctly, and does nothing useful!
const brokenSelector = createSelector(
  [(state: RootState) => state.todos],
  todos => todos,
)

Any result function that just returns its inputs is incorrect! The result function should always have the transformation logic.

Similarly:

// ❌ BROKEN: this will not memoize correctly!
const brokenSelector = createSelector(
  [(state: RootState) => state],
  state => state.todos,
)
