I am trying to send form data after submitting to the firebase database using redux in my react application, but I am unable to send the state so I tried tracking form data by console.log but the form data is empty. I am able to console log params but not this.state



Below is the code.



I am using redux in this app. createUser is my action



import React, { Component } from "react";
import { connect } from "react-redux";
import { createUser } from "../store/actions/userActions";

class UserForm extends Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = { form: , alert: false, alertData: {} };
this.submitMessage = this.submitMessage.bind(this);
}

submitMessage = e => {
e.preventDefault();
const params = {
name: this.inputName.value,
email: this.inputEmail.value,
city: this.inputCity.value,
age: this.inputAge.value
};
this.setState({ form: params });
console.log(params);
console.log("-----------");
console.log(this.state);
this.props.createUser(this.state);
};

  • i think you initialize your form state as array and you are setting an object into it.

There is you are missing two things,




  1. Set state is async in nature so after set state, you must use call back to access it.


  2. You are not passing form data ie. Params to createUser



Solution :



import React, { Component } from "react";
import { connect } from "react-redux";
import { createUser } from "../store/actions/userActions";

class UserForm extends Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = { form: , alert: false, alertData: {} };
this.submitMessage = this.submitMessage.bind(this);
}

submitMessage = e => {
e.preventDefault();

const params = {
name: this.inputName.value,
email: this.inputEmail.value,
city: this.inputCity.value,
age: this.inputAge.value
};
this.setState({ form: params },()=>{
this.props.createUser(this.state);
});
};

render() {
return (
<div className="container">
<div
className="row"
>
User
</div>
<div className="container" style={{ padding: `10px 0px` }} />

<div className="row">
<div className="col-sm-4">
<h2>Contact Form</h2>
<form onSubmit={this.submitMessage} ref="contactForm">
<div className="form-group">
<label htmlFor="name">Name</label>
<input
type="text"
className="form-control"
id="name"
placeholder="Name"
ref={name => (this.inputName = name)}
/>
</div>
<div className="form-group">
<label htmlFor="emai1">Email</label>
<input
type="email"
className="form-control"
id="email"
placeholder="Email"
ref={email => (this.inputEmail = email)}
/>
</div>
<div className="form-group">
<label htmlFor="city">City</label>
<select
className="form-control"
id="city"
ref={city => (this.inputCity = city)}
>
<option value="India">India</option>
<option value="USA">USA</option>
<option value="UK">UK</option>
<option value="Japan">Japan</option>
<option value="Germany">Germany</option>
</select>
</div>
<div className="form-group">
<label htmlFor="age">Age</label>
<input
type="number"
className="form-control"
id="age"
placeholder="Age"
ref={age => (this.inputAge = age)}
/>
</div>
<button type="submit" className="btn btn-primary">
Send
</button>
</form>
</div>
</div>
</div>
);
}
}

const mapStateToProps = state => {
return {};
};

const mapDispatchToProps = dispatch => {
return {
createUser: user => dispatch(createUser(user))
};
};

export default connect(
mapStateToProps,
mapDispatchToProps
)(UserForm);

Due to setState is asynchronous you can access the changed state in a callback which you can pass as a second param to setState method. Please read more about setState



  submitMessage = e => {
e.preventDefault();
const params = {
name: this.inputName.value,
email: this.inputEmail.value,
city: this.inputCity.value,
age: this.inputAge.value
};
this.setState({ form: params }, () => {
console.log(params);
console.log("-----------");
console.log(this.state);
this.props.createUser(this.state);
});
};

You call createUser before setState is finished. Why use the state anyway? I would suggest:



submitMessage = e => {
e.preventDefault();
const params = {
name: this.inputName.value,
email: this.inputEmail.value,
city: this.inputCity.value,
age: this.inputAge.value
};
this.props.createUser(params);
};

    There is you are missing two things,




    1. Set state is async in nature so after set state, you must use call back to access it.


    2. You are not passing form data ie. Params to createUser



    Solution :



    import React, { Component } from "react";
    import { connect } from "react-redux";
    import { createUser } from "../store/actions/userActions";

    class UserForm extends Component {
    constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = { form: , alert: false, alertData: {} };
    this.submitMessage = this.submitMessage.bind(this);
    }

    submitMessage = e => {
    e.preventDefault();

    const params = {
    name: this.inputName.value,
    email: this.inputEmail.value,
    city: this.inputCity.value,
    age: this.inputAge.value
    };
    this.setState({ form: params },()=>{
    this.props.createUser(this.state);
    });
    };

    render() {
    return (
    <div className="container">
    <div
    className="row"
    >
    User
    </div>
    <div className="container" style={{ padding: `10px 0px` }} />

    <div className="row">
    <div className="col-sm-4">
    <h2>Contact Form</h2>
    <form onSubmit={this.submitMessage} ref="contactForm">
    <div className="form-group">
    <label htmlFor="name">Name</label>
    <input
    type="text"
    className="form-control"

    </form>
    </div>
    </div>
    </div>
    );
    }
    }

    const mapStateToProps = state => {
    return {};

    const mapDispatchToProps = dispatch => {

    Due to setState is asynchronous you can access the changed state in a callback which you can pass as a second param to setState method. Please read more about setState



      submitMessage = e => {
    e.preventDefault();
    const params = {
    name: this.inputName.value,
    email: this.inputEmail.value,
    city: this.inputCity.value,
    age: this.inputAge.value
    };
    this.setState({ form: params }, () => {
    console.log(params);
    console.log("-----------");
    console.log(this.state);
    this.props.createUser(this.state);
    });
    };

    You call createUser before setState is finished. Why use the state anyway? I would suggest:



    submitMessage = e => {
    e.preventDefault();
    const params = {
    name: this.inputName.value,
    email: this.inputEmail.value,
    city: this.inputCity.value,
    age: this.inputAge.value
    };
    this.props.createUser(params);
    };
