Does Redux Persist allow for Date objects?

[trajano]

Just wondering does Redux Persist allow for Date objects or are they considered non-serializable? In which case I should just store the toISOString value and convert it to a Date object using code?

Redux Persist isn't part of RTK, but yeah, Date class instances would fall under the "not serializable" category, and you're better off keeping date values in the store as numeric timestamps or strings:

A small follow up question...
what is considered "serializable" I am presuming: string, number and boolean are the only ones? Or is boolean not even considered and it should just be number which we translate from 0/1 to false/true ?

Basically just whatever will be returned natively from JSON.parse(). So, plain objects/arrays, and primitive values.

anything you can do JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(value)) and get an equivalent result from is serialiseable as far as redux-persist is concerned. primitives, arrays, and POJOs are all serialisable.
