I am currently working on creating a login form that makes an API call to retrieve a token. As someone new to react and redux, I followed the steps outlined in this tutorial to achieve this.
The login form utilizes redux-form. Below is the code snippet for reference:
login.js
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { connect } from 'react-redux';
import { Field, reduxForm } from 'redux-form';
import { loginUser } from '../../actions/index';
const form = reduxForm({
form: 'login'
});
class Login extends Component {
handleFormSubmit(formProps) {
this.props.loginUser(formProps);
}
renderAlert() {
if(this.props.errorMessage) {
return (
<div>
<span><strong>Error!</strong> {this.props.errorMessage}</span>
</div>
);
}
}
render() {
const { handleSubmit } = this.props;
return (
<div>
<form onSubmit={handleSubmit(this.handleFormSubmit.bind(this))}>
{this.renderAlert()}
{/* {this.renderAlert.bind()} */}
<div>
<label>Username</label>
<Field name="username" component="input" type="text" />
</div>
<div>
<label>Password</label>
<Field name="password" component="input" type="password" />
</div>
<button type="submit">Login</button>
</form>
</div>
);
}
}
function mapStateToProps(state) {
return {
errorMessage: state.auth.error,
message: state.auth.message
};
}
export default connect(mapStateToProps, { loginUser })(form(Login));
After successfully implementing the login functionality, I decided to integrate Material Ui to enhance the visual design of the form fields.
// input basic version
<Field name="username" component="input" type="text" />
// material-ui version
<Field name="username" component={TextField} type="text" />
However, after making this change, the props (username, password) are not being passed to the handleFormSubmit function, causing issues with the API call to log in the user. I am seeking assistance to resolve this issue.
