How to update redux store tree and then update another tree with data from first?

Question

I have a chart and ui with data inputs for it. I use redux to store data for chart. I have 2 trees. One - for chart component. It contains array of numbers (axis coordinates). And second for ui. It contains array of objects: {axis coordinate, visibility}.

This structure is based on ability to show/hide some data from chart.

Redux store

const initialState = {
  chartSettings: {
    ...
    axisValues: [7, 9, 1, 13, 24, ...]
  },
  chartSettingsData: {
    ...
    axisValues: [
     {value: 7, visibility: true},
     {value: 9, visibility: false},
     ...
    ]
  }
};

I want my chart component to get clear data array from store, without visibility logic. But I need it for ui. So I came to this structure. May be it's wrong. But I have not other ideas.

So, when I click checkbox, I change visibility in store object chartSettingsData. And then, I need to update another tree with data fo chart. I tried clone filtered array after chartSettingsData update in reducer.

case "UPDATE_ITEM_VISIBILITY":
  return {
    ...state,
    chartSettingsData: {
      ...state.chartSettingsData,
      axisValues: state.chartSettingsData.axisValues.map((item, i) =>
        i === index
          ? { value: item.value, visibility: !item.visibility }
          : item
      ),
    },

    chartSettings: {
      ...state.chartSettings,
      axisValues: (() => {
        const filtered = state.chartSettingsData.axisValues.filter(
          (item) => item.visibility
        );
        return filtered.map((item, i) => item.value);
      })(),
    }

But I get data in chartSettings before chartSettingsData been updated. What is the right way to update redux store in this case?

You should construct the two parts of the store in variables (so you can use the new chartSettingsData) and then return:

case "UPDATE_ITEM_VISIBILITY":
  const chartSettingsData = {
    ...state.chartSettingsData,
    axisValues: state.chartSettingsData.axisValues.map((item, i) =>
      i === index
        ? { value: item.value, visibility: !item.visibility }
        : item
    ),
  };

  const chartSettings = {
    ...state.chartSettings,
    axisValues: (() => {
      const filtered = chartSettingsData.axisValues.filter(
        (item) => item.visibility
      );
      return filtered.map((item, i) => item.value);
    })(),
  };

  return {
    ...state,
    chartSettingsData,
    chartSettings
  };
