I have been trying to develop a dashboard form similiar to airbnb listing form for understanding more deeply about react redux but i am stuck in the middle of my project. I have a multiple form where when user clicks on continue button the user will get another form to fill and so on and if user clicks on back button the user will get form of one step back with previously filled values. I could not decide what should i do for this. Do i have to create a object in action as listingName . summary, name, email etc as empty value and update it with reducer using Object.assign() or what. Till now i could only develop like when user clicks on personal tab a form related to personal information is shown and when user clicks on basic tab, a form related to basic information is shown. I want all form data to be send to server at last submit. What should i do now ? Do i use increment and decrement action for the continue and back button and use submit action on the last form button ? Could you please provide me an idea ?
Here's my code
actions/index.js
export function selectForm(form){
return{
type: 'FORM_SELECTED',
payload: form
};
}
reducers/reducer_active_form.js
export default function(state=null, action){
let newState = Object.assign({},state);
switch(action.type){
case 'FORM_SELECTED':
return action.payload;
}
return state;
}
reducers/reducer_form_option.js
export default function(){
return[
{ option: 'Personal Information', id:1},
{ option: 'Basic Information', id:2 },
{ option: 'Description', id:3},
{ option: 'Location', id:4},
{ option: 'Amenities', id:5},
{ option: 'Gallery', id:6}
]
}
