I have child component that renders a list of items in a ListView. The data for the ListView originates from a Redux store object passed through the parent mapStateToProps. The child object has buttons that will remove an item when pressed. The button fires the appropriate redux dispatch actions and the status is updated correctly, but the child component does not update. Through break points and console statements, I've verified that child componentShouldUpdate and child componentWillReceiveProps get fired when the redux state chagnes, but the child render method does not fire after the state change.
Parent
<PendingActionsList
proposedStatusChanges={this.props.proposedStatusChanges}
certifications={this.props.certifications}
driverProfile={this.props.driverProfile}
acceptProposedStatusChange={this.props.acceptProposedStatusChange}
rejectProposedStatusChange={this.props.rejectProposedStatusChange}
navigator={this.props.navigator}
/>
Child
componentWillMount(){
this.setState({
proposedChanges:this.props.proposedStatusChanges
});
}
shouldComponentUpdate(nextProps){
//fires when expected and returns expected value
return nextProps.proposedStatusChanges.length != nextProps.proposedStatusChanges.length;
}
componentWillReceiveProps(nextProps){
//fires when props change as expected
console.log({'will receive props': nextProps});
this.setState({
proposedChanges:nextProps.proposedStatusChanges
});
}
render(){
//only fires at intial render
const dataSource = this.ds.cloneWithRows(this.state.proposedChanges)
return(
<View style={styles.container}>
<Text>Pending Actions </Text>
<ListView
dataSource={dataSource}
renderRow={(rowData) => this.renderRow(rowData)}
renderSeparator={(sectionId,rowId)=><View key={`${sectionId}-${rowId}`} style={{height:1,backgroundColor:'#D1D1D1'}}/>}
/>
</View>
);
I've tried this without the state field too, which is what I was expecting to work, but had the same results.
