API slice onQueryStarted, getState seems to only want to access state of the API slice, intentional?

[julian-kingman-lark]

I have an API slice with a bit that looks like this:

async onQueryStarted(syncData, { dispatch, getState, queryFulfilled }) {
        // @ts-expect-error it seems getState expects to only access the state of this slice
        const data = getData(getState());

I get the error:

Argument of type 'RootState<any, any, "apiSlice">' is not assignable to parameter of type 'EmptyObject & { data: DataState...

I think this is because getState is expecting to only access local API slice state. Is that correct? Is that intentional? I need access to other parts of state, should I be using store directly? (redux tends not to like that, b/c it creates dependency circles).

Thanks in advance! I hope it becomes easier to integrate regular slices with API slices in the future.

No, getState here will return the entire Redux store root state object (as always).

The problem is the TS typing. Because of how createApi works, we don't know the right TS types for the return value of getState. You'll need to cast it yourself here, like getData(getState() as RootState).
