Component/Users.js

  componentWillMount(){
    this.props.fetchUsers();
  }

  render() {
    const userItems = this.props.users || [];
    const abc = userItems.map((user,index) => (
      <Text key={index}>
      {user.email}
      </Text>
    ));
    return (
      <View>
        {abc}
      </View>
    );
  }
}
const mapStateToProps = state => ({
  users: state.UserReducer.items
})

const mapDispatchToProps = {
  fetchUsers
};


export default connect(mapStateToProps, mapDispatchToProps)(Users);

Actions

export function fetchUsers() {
  return dispatch => {
    fetch("http://example.com/v1/users")
      .then(res => res.json())
      .then(users =>
        dispatch({
          type: FETCH_USERS,
          payload: users
        })
      );
  };
}

reducer/userReducer.js

import { FETCH_USERS } from "../Actions/types";

    const initialState = {
      items: []
    };

    const userReducer= (state = initialState, action) => {
        switch(action.type){
            case FETCH_USERS:
                return {
                    ...state,
                    items:action.payload
                }
            default:
                return state;
        }
    }
export default userReducer;

reducer/index.js

import UserReducer from './userReducer';
const AppReducer = combineReducers({
  ...
  UserReducer,
  ...
  ...
  ...
});

export default AppReducer;

backend is fine i testes with postman

users backend

  const router = new express.Router();

  router.route("/users").get((req, res) => {
    User.find({},{password:0}, (err, users) => {
      if (err) {
        return res.status(404).send({message: "error"});
        console.log(err);
      } else {
        return res.status(200).send({users});
      }
    });
  });

response backend

{
    "users": [
        {
            "dateCreated": "..",

            "__v": 0
        }
    ]
}

Answer 1

Are you sure you're mapping your action inside your MapDispatchToProps? (Ideally this post would be a comment but I do not have comment permissions yet).

const mapDispatchToProps = (dispatch) => {
    return {
        fetchUsers: () => dispatch(fetchUsers());
    };    
};

Answer 2

If /users response is this :

{
    "users": [
        {
            "dateCreated": "..",
            "dateModified": "...",
            "lastLogin": "...",
            "_id": "...",
            "email": "...",
            "__v": 0
        }
    ]
}

Then when dispatching FETCH_USERS , you should do it like this : (notice the payload property)

export function fetchUsers() {
  return dispatch => {
    fetch("http://example.com/v1/users")
      .then(res => res.json())
      .then(data =>
        dispatch({
          type: FETCH_USERS,
          payload: data.users
        })
      );
  };
}

Or you can do this inside the reducer (notice the items property) :

const userReducer= (state = initialState, action) => {
    switch(action.type){
        case FETCH_USERS:
             return {
                  ...state,
                  items: action.payload.users 
             }
             default:
             return state;
    }
}

Answer 3

It looks like your code is using the react-native-router-flux (which has react-navigation as a dependency), from the code sample given. There is an open issue with this listed on github . The current solution to this, as discussed in this SO answer is to use the beta26 version + of react-native router-flux. I suspect this will solve your problem. If not, well, worth a shot! ..

Hth..
