I'm new to react-redux and I'm using the react-thunk middleware. I'm getting the error "Uncaught TypeError: dispatch is not a function" whenever I try to run my action creator (by pressing my button). Anyone know what's going on?
src/actions/index.js
function editUserName (newUserName) {
return {
type: 'CHANGE_USER_NAME',
newUserName: newUserName
}
}
export function editUserNameDelegate () {
return function (dispatch, getState) {
return dispatch(editUserName("thunkUser"))
}
}
src/containers/admin.js
import { editUserNameDelegate } from '../actions/index'
...
<input type="button" onClick={ editUserNameDelegate() } value="edit UserName" />
You're executing the editUserNameDelegate function inside of render, instead of passing it as the onClick handler. You want onClick={editUserNameDelegate} instead.
Also, if you're writing it that way, you need to make sure that the function is bound up to dispatch when you call it. You can do that like:
export default connect(null, {editUserNameDelegate})(MyComponent)
And then pass onClick={this.props.editUserNameDelegate} in your render function.
The store is what provides the dispatch function. So you either need to connect your component to the store using something like connect from react-redux (https://github.com/reactjs/react-redux), or you need to call store.dispatch(editUserNameDelegate()).
You also need to make sure you have added redux-thunk as middleware in your store. See more about redux-thunk here: https://github.com/gaearon/redux-thunk
You should provide what is src/containers/admin.js function or class?
If it is function component you should use onClick={() => editUserNameDelegate()}
