React Redux form and connect syntax

Question

I have a React component

export class Login extends Component {
      ..omitted for clarity
}
export default connect(select, actions)(Login);

And as can be seen it connects to Redux and it works perfectly well

I have Redux Form as

export class ChangePassword extends Component {
  ..omitted for clarity
}

export default reduxForm({
  form: 'change_password_form',
  validate
})(ChangePassword);

Again this is working perfectly well.

My question is , I can't work out the syntax to have the Redux form also to use the connect statement e.g. connect(select, actions)

Something like this ?

export default reduxForm({
  form: 'change_password_form',
  validate
}).connect(select, actions)(ChangePassword)

Since the connect method decorates the original component, and returns a decorated component, you can pass that component to reduxForm (Redux Form FAQ).

You can see an example in the docs.

const decoratedComponent = connect(select, actions)(ChangePassword)

export default reduxForm({
  form: 'change_password_form',
  validate
})(DecoratedComponent)

Or pass it directly:

export default reduxForm({
  form: 'change_password_form',
  validate
})(connect(select, actions)(ChangePassword))

If you need to get data from the store, for example - to create the form's initial values from the state, you can wrap the original component with redux-form, and pass the "form" component to connect:

export default connect(select, actions)(reduxForm({
  form: 'change_password_form',
  validate
})(ChangePassword))

Or you can use functional composing with a compose method (from redux/lodash/ramda for example), to call reduxForm, and then connect on the component:

export default compose(
  connect(mapStateToProps, mapDispatchToProps),
  reduxForm({ form: 'change_password_form', validate })
)(ChangePassword)
