I have a state which I need to update with the ID returned from an endpoint call so I can call another another endpoint using that ID, I've made a state in the parent component and I use it in my first form to set the ID. I pass that id as a prop to the component that needs it but when I console.log the state, it doesn't change.
How can I pass the ID through the components?
I've added comments on the main places to look at
Here is my first form where I need the ID from -
const AddWebAppTypeForm = (props: any, ref: any) => {
const { setWebAppTypes, setNewAppValues}: AddWebAppTypeFormProps =
props;
const {
handleSubmit,
control,
reset,
formState: { isDirty },
} = useForm();
const onSubmit = (data: any) => {
let formData = new FormData();
formData.append("name", data.Title);
formData.append("description", data.Description);
formData.append("uploaded_file", data.Image[0]);
if (isDirty) {
createWebAppType(formData);
}
};
const createWebAppType = async (body: any) => {
await fetch(`${process.env.REACT_APP_API_URL}/webapptype`, {
method: "POST",
body: body,
})
.then((response) => response.json())
.then((data: IWebAppType) => {
const model: IWebAppType = {
id: data.id,
name: data.name,
image: data.image,
description: data.description,
image_url: data.image_url,
};
setNewAppValues(model.id); // <--- Set the state here
setWebAppTypes((prev) =>
prev.map((item) => (item.id === 0 ? model : item))
);
enqueueSnackbar(`Created App Succesfully`, {
variant: "success",
});
});
};
return (
<form onSubmit={handleSubmit(onSubmit)}>
<button hidden={true} ref={ref} type="submit" />
</form>
);
};
export default forwardRef(AddWebAppTypeForm);
My parent component with the states -
function WebAppTypeAccordion({ a, setWebAppTypes }: WebAppTypeAccordionProps) {
const [formEl, setFormEl] = useState(null);
const [addFormEl, setAddFormEl] = useState(null);
const [newAppValues, setNewAppValues] = useState<number>(0); // <--- state with 0 as initialised value
const handleRef = (el: any) => {
if (el !== null) {
setFormEl(el);
}
};
const handleAddRef = (el: any) => {
if (el !== null) {
setAddFormEl(el);
}
};
return (
<Accordion defaultExpanded={a.id === 0}>
<AccordionSummary
// onClick={(e) => handleOnClick(a, e)}
expandIcon={<ExpandMoreIcon />}
aria-controls="panel1a-content"
id="panel1a-header"
>
<Typography>{a.name}</Typography>
</AccordionSummary>
<AccordionDetails>
{a.id === 0 ? (
<AddWebAppTypeForm
setWebAppTypes={setWebAppTypes}
ref={handleAddRef}
setNewAppValues={setNewAppValues} // <--- Passing setState to set id
/>
) : (
null
)}
<MappedAccordion
waobj={a}
key={a.id}
setWebAppTypes={setWebAppTypes}
editRef={formEl}
addRef={addFormEl}
newAppValues={newAppValues} // <--- Passing ID
/>
</AccordionDetails>
</Accordion>
);
}
export default WebAppTypeAccordion;
Here is where I am trying to use the ID to call another endpoint
function MappedAccordion({
waobj,
setWebAppTypes,
editRef,
addRef,
newAppValues,
}: MappedAccordionProps) {
const handleCreate = (data: FieldT) => {
let wtype: string = String(waobj.id);
if (addRef !== null) {
if (newAppValues !== 0) {
wtype = String(newAppValues); // <--- Try to use the ID but get default value
createFetch(data, wtype); // <--- Try to use the ID but get default value
}
}
createFetch(data, wtype);
};
const createFetch = (data: FieldT, wtype: string) => {
let formData = new FormData();
formData.append("name", data.name);
formData.append("link", data.link);
formData.append("wtype", wtype);
fetch(`${process.env.REACT_APP_API_URL}/webapp/`, {
method: "POST",
body: formData,
})
.then((response) => {
if (!response.ok) {
let err = new Error("HTTP status code: " + response.status);
enqueueSnackbar(`Environment already exists`, {
variant: "error",
});
throw err;
}
return response.json();
})
.then((data: IWebApp) => {
const model: FieldT = {
wid: data.id,
name: data.name,
link: data.link,
};
enqueueSnackbar(`Created Environment ${model.wid}`, {
variant: "success",
});
});
};
const onSubmit = (data: FormFields) => {
if (addRef !== null) addRef?.click(); // <--- Submit AddWebAppTypeForm form, set the ID
else editRef?.click();
let onSubmitData: FieldT[] = data.myFieldValues;
onSubmitData.map((a: FieldT, index) => {
let originalField: FieldT = initialFields[index];
if (a.wid === undefined) {
handleCreate(a);
} else {
if (JSON.stringify(a) !== JSON.stringify(originalField)) {
handleEdit(a);
}
}
});
};
return (
<div>
<form onSubmit={handleSubmit(onSubmit)} id="environment-form">
<div style={{ paddingTop: 10 }}>
<Button
type="submit" // <--- Submit form
variant="outlined"
size="small"
sx={{ marginRight: 1 }}
>
Save
</Button>
<Button
variant="outlined"
size="small"
onClick={handleAppDelete}
disabled={waobj.id === 0 ? true : false}
>
Delete
</Button>
</div>
</form>
</div>
);
}
export default MappedAccordion;
Thanks for taking a look, I appreciate any help!
