Update redux state with an input

Question

How can I update redux's state from a text input?

I'm trying to do a very simple "Hello World" with a text input. When someone types into the text input, it should update my store's "searchTerm" value.

I can't figure out these things: 1. How can I get and pass the input's value into it's "onChange" handler? 2. The "search" action seems to be called correctly, but my reducer function is never used (no console.log).

SearchForm.js (component)

import React, {Component, PropTypes} from 'react';
import {bindActionCreators} from 'redux';
import {connect} from 'react-redux';
import {search} from 'redux/modules/search-term';

@connect(
  null,
  dispatch => bindActionCreators({ search }, dispatch)
)

export default class SearchForm extends Component {
  static propTypes = {
    search: PropTypes.func.isRequired,
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <input type="text" placeholder="Search" onChange={search} />
    );
  }
}

search-term.js (action & reducer)

const SEARCH = 'redux-example/repo-filter/SEARCH';

const initialState = {
  searchTerm: null
};

export default function reducer(state = initialState, action = {}) {
  console.log("reducing");

  switch (action.type) {
    case SEARCH:
      return {
        searchTerm: action.term
      };
    default:
      return state;
  }
}

export function search(term) {
  return {
    type: SEARCH,
    term
  };
}

reducer.js

import { combineReducers } from 'redux';
import multireducer from 'multireducer';
import { routerStateReducer } from 'redux-router';

import search from './search-term';

export default combineReducers({
  router: routerStateReducer,
  search
});

You should use this.props.search when binding the action creator to the change event:

<input type="text" placeholder="Search" onChange={(event) => this.props.search(event.target.value)} />
