createTransform

Creates a transformer, which can be applied to persist configurations.

Transformers are use to apply operations to your data during prior it being persisted or hydrated.

One use case for a transformer is to handle data that can't be parsed to a JSON string. For example a Map or Set. To handle these data types you could utilise a transformer that converts the Map/Set to/from an Array or Object.

This helper has been directly copied from redux-persist, with the intention of maximising our compatibility with the redux-persist ecosystem.

redux-persist already has a robust set of transformer packages that have been built for it.
