When I type some text in the inputfield it shows some data when I log inside the reducer, also the console.log(state.genreList) outputs an array. But it will not update the mapStateToProps inside the SearchInput.tsx In action and reducer I see the value is being passed correctly, but still confused why it will not pass them to mapStateToProps. Do I miss something?
To give you a better understanding I will add a codesandbox.
// Reducer
import { types } from "../actions";
const initialState = {
genreList: [],
videoList: [],
inputValue: ""
};
export const videoList = (state = initialState, action: any) => {
switch(action.type) {
case types.GET_DATA: {
return {
...state,
genreList: [...state.genreList, action.data]
};
}
case types.GET_INPUT_VALUE: {
return {
...state,
inputValue: action.value
}
}
default:
return state;
}
};
export default videoList;
// Component
import React, { useEffect } from 'react';
import { connect, useDispatch, ConnectedProps } from "react-redux";
import { getData, getInput } from "../../actions/index";
import axios from 'axios';
interface Genre {
id: number;
name: string;
}
interface Video {
id: number;
artist: string;
title: string;
release_year: number;
genre_id: number;
image_url: string;
}
interface IProps {
genres?: Genre[];
videos?: Video[];
input_value?: string;
}
export const SearchInput: React.FC<InputProps | IProps> = () => {
const dispatch = useDispatch();
useEffect(() => {
const fetchData = async () => {
try {
const response = await axios.get('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/XiteTV/frontend-coding-exercise/main/data/dataset.json');
dispatch(getData(response.data));
} catch (err) {
console.log(err)
}
}
fetchData();
}, [dispatch]);
const passValue = (e: string) => {
dispatch(getInput(e));
}
return (
<div>
<input type="text" onChange={(e) => passValue(e.target.value)}/>
<div>Search Input</div>
</div>
)
}
function mapStateToProps(state: any){
// why I dont see anything here????
console.log(state);
return {
genres: state.genreList,
}
}
const connector = connect(mapStateToProps);
type InputProps = ConnectedProps<typeof connector>;
export default connect(SearchInput);
