- My Redux state has changed, why doesn't React trigger a re-render? 1 answer
I am trying to update a single chef within the chefs array in my redux state. An example of the array is as follows:
[
{ _id: 1, name: 'first chef' },
{ _id: 2, name: 'second chef' },
{ _id: 2, name: 'third chef' }
]
I make a call to the API which then returns me the updated chef object. I basically find the related chef object in my current state, however, when I immutably update it, my react component doesn't re-render.
Is this the correct way to update a single object within a array of objects in a redux reducer?
import _ from 'lodash';
import { ADMIN_LIST_CHEFS, ADMIN_GET_CHEF, UPDATE_CHEF_LIST } from '../actions/types';
const INITIAL_STATE = { chefs: [], chef: null };
let CHEFS = [];
let INDEX = null;
export default function (state = INITIAL_STATE, action) {
switch (action.type) {
case UPDATE_CHEF_LIST:
CHEFS = state.chefs;
INDEX = _.findIndex(CHEFS, (chef => chef._id === action.id));
state.chefs.splice(INDEX, 1, action.payload);
return { ...state };
default:
break;
}
return state;
}
