I have these routes
<Route exact path={`/admin/caters/:id`} component={Cater} />
<Route exact path={'/admin/caters/create'} component={CreateCater} />
When I navigate to the first route I get a cater with a given ID. And the Cater component is rendered
When I navigate to the second route, the CreateCater component is rendered on the page, but I noticed that some redux actions that are used in the Cater component are being run. So both component are somehow being rendered - but I can't figure out why.
Here are the components:
Cater:
class Cater extends Component {
async componentDidMount() {
console.log('Cater component did mount')
const { match: { params: { id }}} = this.props
this.props.get(id)
}
render() {
const { cater } = this.props
if(!cater) {
return null
}
else {
return (
<div>
... component data ...
</div>
)
}
}
}
const mapStateToProps = (state, props) => {
const { match: { params: { id }}} = props
return {
cater: caterSelectors.get(state, id)
}
}
const mapDispatchToProps = (dispatch, props) => {
return {
get: (id) => dispatch(caterActions.get(id))
}
}
export default connect(mapStateToProps, mapDispatchToProps)(Cater)
CreateCater:
export default class CreateCaterPage extends Component {
render() {
return (
<React.Fragment>
<Breadcrumbs />
<CaterForm />
</React.Fragment>
)
}
}
When I go to /admin/caters/create' I can see the console.log in the componenDidMount() lifecycle method inside the Cater component.
I cant figure out what I am doing wrong :(
