I am trying to build CRUD app with react and redux in client side, and I am stuck in this problem for weeks.
I have 2 main components: one for a list of articles and other for an article.
I am calling AJAX get request with componentDidMount to the server that retrieves the data:
class Category1 extends React.Component {
componentDidMount(){
this.props.fetchArticles();
}
render() {
return (
<div>
{this.props.children ||
<div className="mainContent">
<h1>Category1</h1> <hr />
<ListContainer articles={this.props.articles}/>
</div>
}
</div>
);
}
}
and in the ListContainer, I am iterating data over a list and rendering them with <Link>
like this:
export default class ListContainer extends React.Component {
renderItem(article){
return (
<Link to={"/articles/" + article.id} key={article.id} >
<ItemContainer article={article} />
</Link>
)
}
render(){
<div className="row">
<div className="col-lg-8 col-md-8 col-sm8">
{this.props.articles.map(this.renderItem.bind(this))}
</div>
</div>
}
}
When I click an article in a list, it will take me to an article page which also uses componentDidMount to retrieve data of its article.
An article page component:
class ArticlePage extends React.Component {
componentDidMount(){
this.props.fetchArticle(this.props.params.id);
}
render() {
return (
<div className="row">
<div className="col-lg-6 col-md-6 col-sm6">
<div className="article-content">
<h2>{this.props.article.title}</h2>
<div className="article-body">
<p>{this.props.article.image}</p>
<p>by {this.props.article.name}</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
);
}
}
My problem is once I access to ArticlePage, I cannot go back to a previous page or go to the other pages from it. It stays in the same page even though a path will change, and I get a console error saying "this.props.articles.map is not a function" which ArticlePage does not have. I am sure its error comes from ListContainer. Also, when I reload the ArticlePage, its components just disappears without getting any error.
This is my routes:
<Route path="/" component={App}>
<IndexRoute component={Home}/>
<Route path="login" component={LoginPage}/>
<Route path="signup" component={SignupPage}/>
<Route path="submit" component={auth(SubmitPage)}/>
<Route path="category1" component={Category1}>
<Route path="articles/:id" component={ArticlePage} />
</Route>
<Route path="category2" component={Category2}>
<Route path="articles/:id" component={ArticlePage} />
</Route>
</Route>
How can I fix this?
