Use reselect selector with parameters

The answer to your questions is detailed in an FAQ here: https://github.com/reactjs/reselect#q-how-do-i-create-a-selector-that-takes-an-argument

In short, reselect doesn't support arbitrary arguments passed to selectors. The recommended approach is, instead of passing an argument, store that same data in your Redux state.

New Solution from Reselect 4.1: See detail

// selector.js
const selectItemsByCategory = createSelector(
  [
    // Usual first input - extract value from `state`
    state => state.items,
    // Take the second arg, `category`, and forward to the output selector
    (state, category) => category
  ],
  // Output selector gets (`items, category)` as args
  (items, category) => items.filter(item => item.category === category)
);

// App.js
const items = selectItemsByCategory(state, 'javascript');
// Another way if you're using redux hook:
const items = useSelector(state => selectItemsByCategory(state, 'javascript'));

Solution from Reselect: See detail

// selector.js
import { createSelector } from 'reselect'
import memoize from 'lodash.memoize'

const expensiveSelector = createSelector(
  state => state.items,
  items => memoize(
    minValue => items.filter(item => item.value > minValue)
  )
)

// App.js
const expensiveFilter = expensiveSelector(state)
// Another way if you're using redux:
// const expensiveFilter = useSelector(expensiveSelector)

const slightlyExpensive = expensiveFilter(100)
const veryExpensive = expensiveFilter(1000000)

Old:

This is my approach. Creating a function with parameters and return function of reselect.

export const selectWithValue = (CUSTOM_PARAMETER) => createSelector(
  selectAllDataFiltered,
  (data) => {
    console.log(CUSTOM_PARAMETER)
    return data[CUSTOM_PARAMETER]
  }
)

const data = selectWithValue('myValue')(myState);
