mapDispatchToProps not working. Props empty (error: redux action is not a function)

Question

I am receiving this error: this.props.postBooks is not a function.

I have an action - postBooks - which I am trying to dispatch via props.

Here is my component:

"use strict"

import React from 'react'
import {Well,Panel,FormControl,FormGroup,ControlLabel,Button} from 'react-bootstrap'
import {connect} from 'react-redux'
import {bindActionCreators} from 'redux'
import {postBooks} from '../../actions/booksActions'
import {findDOMNode} from 'react-dom'

export class BooksForm extends React.Component{

    handleSubmit(){
        const book = [{
            title: findDOMNode(this.refs.title).value,
            description: findDOMNode(this.refs.description).value,
            price: findDOMNode(this.refs.price).value
        }]
        this.props.postBooks(book)
    }
    render(){

        return(
            <Well>
                <Panel>
                    <FormGroup    controlId='title'>
                        <ControlLabel> Title </ControlLabel>
                        <FormControl    
                            type='text'
                            placeholder='Enter Title'
                            ref='title' />
                    </FormGroup>

                    <FormGroup    controlId='description'>
                        <ControlLabel> Enter Description </ControlLabel>
                        <FormControl    
                            type='text'
                            placeholder='Enter Description'
                            ref='description' />
                    </FormGroup>

                    <FormGroup    controlId='price'>
                        <ControlLabel> Enter Price </ControlLabel>
                        <FormControl    
                            type='text'
                            placeholder='Enter Price'
                            ref='price' />
                    </FormGroup>
                    <Button 
                    onClick={this.handleSubmit.bind(this)}
                    bsStyle='primary'> Enter New Book </Button>

                </Panel>
            </Well>
            )
    }

}

function mapDispatchToProps(dispatch){
    return bindActionCreators({postBooks},dispatch)
}
export default connect(null,mapDispatchToProps)(BooksForm);

It seems that dispatch is not being mapped to props as expected since upon console logging props, props are empty. Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance

Edit: Added Actions

 "use strict"
// POST A BOOK
export function postBooks(book){
    return {
        type:"POST_BOOK",
        payload: book
    }
}
// DELETE A BOOK
export function deleteBooks(id){
    return {
        type:"DELETE_BOOK",
        payload: id
    }
}
//UPDATE BOOK
export function updateBooks(book){
    return {
        type:"UPDATE_BOOK",
        payload: book
    }
}

//Retrieve all books as if using API

export function getBooks(){
    return{
        type:'GET_BOOKS'
    }
}

Answer 1

Figured it out.

So I was exporting component up top and export default below.

Noticed webpack was giving an error 'import and export may only appear at top level'. Went ahead and removed top export and now works as expected.

Answer 2

Faced the same issue and I just removed the curly braces from import:

From import {AppTest} from "./AppTest"; To import AppTest from "./AppTest";

And that seemed to fixed the issue. Note that I had "export default" in my class already.
