How to add file into state on React-Redux

I have a formdata object. I'm moving this into a reducer with redux. Then can I define the file contained in this formData into INITIAL_STATE?

var INITIAL_STATE = { stepOneInformation: {} }

REDUCER

case STEP_ONE_SET_DATA:    
        const data = {
            file : action.value.get('file'),
            aboutMe : action.value.get('aboutMe'),
            title : null
        }
        return {
            ...state,
            stepOneInformation: data
        }

I defined the file in the formdata object to the data variable parameter. But the file object looks blank when reading the state

You shouldn't try to read your initial state to get the updated data, because it is stored in the state variable of the store. It's also a bad practice to get data directly from the state, use mapStateToProps instead
