I am trying to replicate something similar to the TodoList example in the the redux docs' basic example . The second reducer receives an array - styleItems = [{... ... }, {... ...}]
- and then calls the first function to act on each of the individual objects.
I provide an initialState
to the app container via the following, as shown in containers/app.js
. However, the state passed to the styleItems
reducer seems to be a blank array - each and every time.
However, react renders the UI based on the initial config, and react dev-tools shows the state structure as expected. Is the redux store somehow seeing the same thing as react?
containers/app.js
function starterInfo(state) {
return {
// The ID of this particular object
id: 12345,
// Various keys and theri css values
styleItems: [
{
pk: 31,
order: 1,
label: 'Caption text color',
css_identifier: '.caption-text',
css_attribute: 'color',
css_value: '#FFFFFF'
},
{
pk:23,
order: 2,
label: 'Caption link color',
css_identifier: '.caption-link',
css_attribute: 'color',
css_value: '#FEFEFE'
}
],
// Network state info
currently_fetching: false,
currently_posting: false
}
}
export default connect(starterInfo)(App)
reducers/index.js
// This handles a single styleItem object within the array
function change_css(state = {}, action){
switch (action.type){
case actions.CHANGE_CSS:
if (state.order !== action.order){
return state
}
return {
...state,
css_value
}
default:
return state
}
}
// This handles the styles array in the global state
function styleItems(state = [], action){
switch(action.type){
case actions.CHANGE_CSS:
const foobar = state.map(styleItem =>
change_css(styleItem, action)
)
return foobar
default:
return state
}
}
The short answer is that you're not passing the initial state quite right. The first argument to the connect
function for the React Redux bindings is mapStateToProps
. The point of this function is to take the state that already exists in your app and map it to props for your component. What you're doing in your starterInfo
function is kind of just hard-coding what the state is for your component. Because you're returning a plain object React doesn't really know the difference so it works just fine, but Redux doesn't yet know about your app state.
Instead, what you should do is provide your initial state directly to the reducers, like this:
const intialStyleItemsState = [
{
pk: 31,
order: 1,
label: 'Caption text color',
css_identifier: '.caption-text',
css_attribute: 'color',
css_value: '#FFFFFF'
},
{
pk:23,
order: 2,
label: 'Caption link color',
css_identifier: '.caption-link',
css_attribute: 'color',
css_value: '#FEFEFE'
}
];
function styleItems(state = intialStyleItemsState, action){ ...
And eventually, because you're splitting your reducers up you'll need to combine them back together again with Redux's combineReducers
utility, provide that root reducer to your store and go from there.
You can also pass the initial state using the redux function createstore that take as argument createStore(reducer, [initialState]) http://rackt.org/redux/docs/api/createStore.html
Let's say you have two reducers
change_css(state = {}, action)
function styleItems(state = [], action)
If you use comibneReducer to initialize your state
var reducer = combineReducers({
css: change_css,
items: styleItems
})
Now
var store = createStore(reducer)
console.log(store.getState())
Your store will contain { css: {}, items: [] }
Now if you want to initialize the state you can pass the initial state as the second argument of the createStore function.
createStore(reducer, {css:{some properties},items:[{name:"obj1"},{name:"obj2"},{name:"obj3"}]})
Now you store will contain the initial state. {css:{some properties,items:[{name:"obj1"},{name:"obj2"},{name:"obj3"}]}
You can feed this state from server for example and set it as initial state of your application
