My redux-form is reinitialized when switching language by changing react-intl wrapper props

Question

I\'m wrapping my app inside an IntlProvider from react-intl v2, like this:

Answer 1

We encountered the same issue when combining react-relay with redux-form. The solution was simple: we initialize the form when the form is mounted.

compose(
  createContainer({
    fragments: {
      viewer: () => Relay.QL`
        fragment on User {
          nickname
          email
        }
      `
    }
  }),
  reduxForm({
    form: "user",
    fields: ["nickname", "email"],
  })
)(
  class UserForm extends Component {
    componentWillMount() {
      this.props.initializeForm(this.props.viewer)
    }

    render() {
      // Same as before
    }
  }
)

Hmm... You are changing your initialValues prop, so it's initializing the form data. initialValues is intended to be used for canonical data from the server to be edited (e.g. a loaded record), not really for updating individual form values from outside the component.

Perhaps you could use the plugin() API to notice the language change action (is that being changed via Redux?) and update the lang value in your form?
