When loading for the first time the content is displayed correctly, clicking a link will change the URL but the view still the same. I had to click twice for the view to change.
My router
render(
<Provider store={store}>
<Router history={browserHistory}>
<Route path="/:courseName/**" component={components.app}>
<IndexRoute components={{
sidebar: containers.sidebar,
chapter: containers.chapter
}} />
</Route>
</Router>
</Provider>,
document.getElementById('container')
);
My dispatch inside the chapter component
componentWillUpdate() {
const { dispatch, params: { courseName, splat } } = this.props;
dispatch(actions.fetchChapter(courseName, splat));
As @dlopez pointed out, I had to use the incoming props.
