I'm using react reducer to handle a request for a deleting an item from the list:
case 'REMOVE_ITEM': {
let products = state.products!
for( var i = 0; i < products.length; i++){
if ( products[i].id === action.payload) {
products.splice(i, 1);
}
}
let result = {...state, products: products, productSelected: products[0]}
localStorage.setItem('state', JSON.stringify(result))
console.log(result)
return { ...state, products: products, productSelected: products[0]}
}
When I click the first item everything works great, but when I delete other items, my state updating and console.log(result) work fine, but there are no updates to localstorage, so I assume that setItem is not launching.
I would greatly appreciate if someone could help me with this issue.
In React, the state is immutable. In simple terms it means that you should not modify it directly. Instead a new object should be created to set the state using setState.
The splice() methods mutate an array.
filter() does not mutate the array on which it is called. It is better to do the following method :
const deleted=state.products.filter((item)=>item.id !=== action.payload)
return { ...state, products: deleted}
And if you want to store something in localstorage, it is better to use the lifecycle in the react:
componentDidUpdate() for class component
useEffect for functional component
I am guessing that, when you are clicking it on the second time it is causing problem because of the synchronous nature of localstorage .
Try this
const asyncLocalStorage = {
setItem: function (key, value) {
return Promise.resolve().then(function () {
localStorage.setItem(key, value);
});
},
getItem: function (key) {
return Promise.resolve().then(function () {
return localStorage.getItem(key);
});
}
};
case 'REMOVE_ITEM': {
let products = state.products
for( var i = 0; i < products.length; i++){
if ( products[i].id === action.payload) {
products.splice(i, 1);
}
}
let result = {...state, products: products, productSelected: products[0]}
asyncLocalStorage.setItem('state', JSON.stringify(result))
console.log(result);
return { ...result};
}
