ngrx store state undefined - angular8

Question

I am not sure why my state in my store is undefined when I try to access it. I have been looking at this for sometime now and I cannot figure it out.
my actions are
export const GetMerchants = createAction('[Merchant] - Get Merchants');
export const GetMerchantsSuccess = createAction(
'[Merchant] - Get Merchants Success',
props<{ payload: Merchant[] }>()
);
export const GetMerchantsFailure = createAction(
'[Merchant] - Get Merchants Failure',
props<{ payload: Error }>()
);
My reducers and state def are
export default class MerchantListState {
merchants: Array<Merchant>;
merchantError: Error;
}
export const initializeMerchantListState = (): MerchantListState => {
return {
merchants: new Array<Merchant>(),
merchantError: null
};
};
export const intialMerchantListState = initializeMerchantListState();
const _reducer = createReducer(
intialMerchantListState,
on(actions.GetMerchants, (state: MerchantListState) => {
return {
...state
};
}),
on(actions.GetMerchantsSuccess, (state: MerchantListState, { payload }) => {
let newstate = { ...state,
merchants: [ ...state.merchants, payload],
merchantError: null
};
return newstate;
}),
on(actions.GetMerchantsFailure, (state: MerchantListState, { payload }) => {
console.log(payload);
return { ...state, merchantError: payload };
}),
);
export function merchantListReducer(state: MerchantListState, action: Action) {
return _reducer(state, action);
}
My effects
#Injectable()
export class MerchantListEffects {
constructor(private apiService: ApiService, private apiRouteService: ApiRouteService, private action$: Actions) { }
GetMerchants$: Observable<Action> = createEffect(() =>
this.action$.pipe(
ofType(actions.GetMerchants),
mergeMap(action => this.apiService.get(this.apiRouteService.toMerchants()).pipe(
map((data: Merchant[]) => { console.log(data); return actions.GetMerchantsSuccess({ payload: data }); }
), catchError((error: Error) => { return of(actions.GetMerchantsFailure({ payload: error })) })
)
)));
}
When I inject the state into the component
private store: Store<{ merchantList: MerchantListState }>
I get an undefined merchant$ observable when I try to do this
this.merchants$ = store.pipe(select('merchantList'));
this.merchantSubscription = this.merchants$.pipe(
map(x => {
console.log(x.merchants);
})
)
.subscribe();
On a button click I am loading the merchants with this dispatch
this.store.dispatch(actions.GetMerchants());
I have my reducer and effects defined in AppModule
StoreModule.forRoot({ merchantList: merchantListReducer }),
EffectsModule.forRoot([MerchantListEffects])
Is it something that I am missing?

First Parameter of createReducer is a value, not a function.
API > #ngrx/store
createReducer
If you use a function, you have to call it:
const _reducer = createReducer(
intialMerchantListState()
I prefare the way to define direct a value initialState:
export const initializeMerchantListState: MerchantListState = {
merchants: new Array<Merchant>(),
merchantError: null
};
