The error “store.getstate is not a function” typically occurs when you try to call the “getstate” method on an object that is not an instance of the “store” class or does not have the “getstate” method defined.
To explain the issue in detail, let’s consider an example scenario where you are trying to use Redux to manage the state of your application. In Redux, the store is responsible for holding the application state and providing methods to access and update it.
Here’s an example code snippet that may result in the mentioned error:
// Define a Redux store
const store = Redux.createStore(reducer, initialState);
// Try to call the "getstate" method on the store object
store.getstate(); // This line will throw the error
The error occurs because the correct method name is getState (with capital S) instead of getstate. So, to fix the issue, you need to correct the method name to getState as shown below:
// Define a Redux store
const store = Redux.createStore(reducer, initialState);
// Call the "getState" method to retrieve the current state
const currentState = store.getState(); // This line retrieves the state without error
In this fixed example, the “getState” method is correctly called to retrieve the current state from the Redux store.
