Using the example of initializingFromState within Redux-Form, I am trying to set this up dynamically. This is to edit a particular book in a list of books, and is using a simple api set up in express.js.
The full container is below. I somehow need to pass in initialValues, within the mapStateToProps function. In the example, it is done via a static object, but I can't work out how to use the information I have pulled in via fetchBook, and pass it to initialValues.
Container:
import React, { Component, PropTypes } from 'react';
import { reduxForm } from 'redux-form';
import { connect } from 'react-redux';
import { Link } from 'react-router';
import { fetchBook, editBook } from '../actions/index';
class BookEdit extends Component {
componentWillMount() {
this.props.fetchBook(this.props.params.id);
}
static contextTypes = {
router: PropTypes.object
}
onSubmit(props) {
this.props.editBook(this.props.book.id, props)
.then(() => {
this.context.router.push('/');
});
}
const data = {
title: {this.props.book.title},
description: {this.props.author}
}
render() {
const { fields: { title, author }, handleSubmit } = this.props;
const { book } = this.props;
if (!book) {
return (
<div>
<p>Loading...</p>
</div>
)
}
return (
<div>
<Link to="/">Back</Link>
<form onSubmit={handleSubmit(this.onSubmit.bind(this))}>
<h2>Add a new book</h2>
<label>Title</label>
<input type="text" {...title} />
<div className="text-help">{title.touched ? title.error : ''}</div>
<label>Author</label>
<input type="text" {...author} />
<div className="text-help">{author.touched ? author.error : ''}</div>
<button type="submit">Add</button>
<Link to="/" className="button">Go back</Link>
</form>
</div>
);
}
}
function mapStateToProps(state) {
return {
book: state.books.book,
initialValues: // how do I pass in the books here?
};
}
export default reduxForm({
form: 'EditBookForm',
fields: ['title', 'author']
}, mapStateToProps, { fetchBook, editBook })(BookEdit);
Thank you.
Your form values aren't what's in state.books.book? I think this is all you're looking for:
function mapStateToProps(state) {
return {
book: state.books.book,
initialValues: state.books.book
};
}
Since you're only really looking at this.props.book to know if it's loaded or not, it might be more explicit to do something like:
function mapStateToProps(state) {
return {
loaded: !!state.books.book,
initialValues: state.books.book
};
}
Hope that helps.
In related to above question, Erik. I have following form and not sure why it is not Validating on submit. It loads the data into fields but when I hit submit the validation fails.
