Struggling to dispatch an action from my React component. This is my first Redux app. Everything seems to be working fine, but if it was I would not be posting this question. I am using Redux devTool to debug my app. If I use the dispatcher from the devTools my reducer is triggered with no problem. However I am unable to dispatch the same action from my React components. I added a breakpoint in my action to see if it was being triggered. I definately is and it is also returning a valid action (type & payload). Here is my code:
store.js
import {createStore, applyMiddleware, compose} from 'redux'
import {createLogger} from 'redux-logger'
import thunk from 'redux-thunk'
import promise from 'redux-promise-middleware'
import reducers from './reducers/index'
const logger = createLogger()
const store = createStore(
reducers,
window.__REDUX_DEVTOOLS_EXTENSION__ &&
window.__REDUX_DEVTOOLS_EXTENSION__(),
compose(
applyMiddleware(thunk, promise, logger)
)
)
export default store
reducers (index.js)
import {combineReducers} from 'redux'
import userReducer from './userReducer'
const allReducers = combineReducers({
user: userReducer
})
export default allReducers
client.js
import React from 'react'
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom'
import {Provider} from 'react-redux'
import store from './store'
import Router from './modules/router'
import MuiThemeProvider from 'material-ui/styles/MuiThemeProvider'
import getMuiTheme from 'material-ui/styles/getMuiTheme'
import CustomTheme from './modules/theme'
import injectTapEventPlugin from 'react-tap-event-plugin'
require('../scss/style.scss')
// Needed for onTouchTap
// http://stackoverflow.com/a/34015469/988941
injectTapEventPlugin();
ReactDOM.render(
<Provider store={store}>
<MuiThemeProvider muiTheme={CustomTheme}>
<Router/>
</MuiThemeProvider>
</Provider>,
document.getElementById('app')
);
userReducer.js
export default function (state = {loggedIn: false}, action) {
console.log("THIS IS THE REDUCER: STATE: ", state, " - ACTION: ", action)
switch (action.type) {
case 'LOGIN':
return {...state, loggedIn: action.payload}
}
return state;
}
userActions.js
export const login = () => {
console.log("TEST")
return {
type: 'LOGIN',
payload: true
}
}
login.js
import React from 'react'
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom'
import LoginForm from '../containers/loginform'
class Login extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
<LoginForm/>
)
}
}
export default Login
loginform.js
import React, {PropTypes} from 'react'
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom'
import {Redirect} from 'react-router-dom'
import {connect} from 'react-redux'
import {login} from '../actions/userActions'
import RaisedButton from 'material-ui/RaisedButton'
import TextField from 'material-ui/TextField'
class LoginForm extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props)
}
loginReq(e){
e.preventDefault()
this.props.login()
}
render() {
return (
<div>
<form className='login-form-container' onSubmit= {this.loginReq.bind(this)}>
<div className='login-form-row'>
<TextField
ref='email'
hintText='Email'
floatingLabelText='Email'
className='login-form-field'/>
</div>
<div className='login-form-row'>
<TextField
ref='password'
hintText='Password'
floatingLabelText='Password'
type='password'
className='login-form-field'/>
</div>
<div className='login-form-row'>
<RaisedButton
type= 'submit'
label='Login'
className='login-form-button'/>
</div>
</form>
</div>
)
}
}
const mapStateToProps = (state) => {
return {
loggedIn: state.user.loggedIn
}
}
const mapDispatchToProps = (dispatch) => {
return {
login: () => dispatch(login())
}
}
export default connect(mapStateToProps, mapDispatchToProps)(LoginForm)
Please could you give me some guidance to how else i can debug to find out why this dispatch is not working. I have tried adding the action object straight into that dispatch function. still no luck. I get no errors in the console nothing. My console.logs are only printed when the view renders and when i click on the login submit button.

Finally found my issue. My middleware implementation was causing the issue. I was passing in promise
incorrectly. Should be:
import {createStore, applyMiddleware} from 'redux'
import {composeWithDevTools} from 'redux-devtools-extension'
import {createLogger} from 'redux-logger'
import thunk from 'redux-thunk'
import promise from 'redux-promise-middleware'
import reducers from './reducers/index'
const logger = createLogger()
const middleware = applyMiddleware(promise(), logger, thunk)
const store = createStore(reducers, composeWithDevTools(middleware))
export default store
Also found that redux-devtools-extension was cleaner for Redux devTools.
