Expected Behaviour:
Connect to an empty form without issue.
Actual Behaviour:
After upgrading 6.6.0 => 9.0.1, if the initial state of the form was null, it would crash on trying to connect before any state changes were made; it's now expecting initial values when before it didn't care. If this is intended, then it would be good to have it documented as before I had a form as null until an @angular-redux/form action was fired.
Stack Trace/Error Message:
State.traverse line 26 (e.g. can't call on a null object).
Another
core.js:1542 ERROR Error: Uncaught (in promise): Error: Must supply a value for form control with name: '<formControlName>'. Error: Must supply a value for form control with name: '<formControlName>'.
Additional Notes
We used @angular-redux/form in a production-level application that is using @angular-redux/form 6.6.0 and Angular 5.2.6 and are trying to upgrade it to Angular 6 for access to i18n.
