Feature request: actions for enable/disable undo & redo about ngrx-wieder HOT 2 CLOSED

While the user does changes to the data (manual processing) the undo & redo shoud be enabled. As soon as the user triggers the automatic processing, he shouldn't be able to do undo & redo as long as the automatic processing is running.

You can already prevent the user from performing undo/redo by e.g. disabling the corresponding buttons/key combinations. Otherwise you could also split undo/redo actions into two parts (one for triggering, one for performing) and funnel them through an effect that filters the latter based on your criteria.

But the problem is, that the automatic process uses the same actions that are allowed to be redone/undone.

As you correctly pointed out, that is the actual problem. Why not introduce separate actions for the automated processing and let them be ignored by ngrx-wieder?

Watch out though, the latest step in history probably won't make sense when applied on top of the result of your automated processing. As far as I understood, you'll probably have to undo the automated processing as well if you want to keep the history.

Your're right... I think this solution is more beautiful than mine. But if I do it that way I have to make more changes than simply introducing few, new actions. I'll think about it, thanks!
