Symbols will not work with normal String concat

[tbranyen]

An example pulled from the Chrome Devtools Console:

const INCREMENT_COUNTER = Symbol('INCREMENT_COUNTER');
INCREMENT_COUNTER + "Hello"
VM222:2 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot convert a Symbol value to a string(…)

The fix is simple, coerce to a String by invoking the constructor around it.

I am surprised this wasn't already added since I can see Symbol(...) working correctly in the README screenshot.

Logger has actionTransformer option for that things ✊

import createLogger from 'redux-logger';

const logger = createLogger({
  actionTransformer: (action) => ({
    ...action,
    type: String(action.type),
  });
});

Rock on, thanks!

I find this to be a slight improvement as it eliminates the redundancy of seeing 'Symbol(<type string>)' wrapping your type string every time it is logged in the console:

import { createLogger } from 'redux-logger'

const typeRegEx = /Symbol\((.*?)\)/
const logger = createLogger({
  actionTransformer: action => ({
    ...action,
    type: String(action.type).match(typeRegEx)[1]
  })
})
