reactjs - Redux-Form initial values from

Question

I'm trying to fill the profile form with data from API. Unfortunately redux-form doesn't want to cooperate with me in this case. For some reason fields stays empty whatever I do.

Setting the fixed values instead of values passed from reducer work well for some reason.

Maybe this is because I'm using redux-promise for API calls inside the action creators? How can I live with it and get rid of this. Here is my form component.

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { reduxForm, Field } from 'redux-form';
import { connect } from 'react-redux';
import { fetchRoleList, fetchUserData } from '../actions';

class UserEdit extends Component {

    componentWillMount() {
        this.props.fetchRoleList();
        this.props.fetchUserData();
    }

    handleEditProfileFormSubmit(formProps) {
        console.log(formProps);
    }

    getRoleOptions(selected_id) {
        if (!this.props.profile) {
            return <option>No data</option>;
        }

        return this.props.profile.roles.map(role => {
            return <option key={role.role_id} value={role.role_id}>{role.name}</option>;
        });
    }

    renderField(props) {
        const { input, placeholder, label, value, type, meta: { touched, error } } = props;
        return (
        <fieldset className={`form-group ${ (touched && error) ? 'has-error' : '' }`}>
            <label>{label}</label>
            <input className="form-control" {...input} type={type} placeholder={placeholder} />
            {touched && error && <div className="error">{error}</div>}
        </fieldset>
        );
    }

    renderSelect({ input, placeholder, options, label, type, meta: { touched, error } }) {
        return (
        <fieldset className={`form-group ${ (touched && error) ? 'has-error' : '' }`}>
            <label>{label}</label>
            <select className="form-control" {...input}>
                {options}
            </select>
            {touched && error && <div className="error">{error}</div>}
        </fieldset>
        );
    }

    render() {
        const { handleSubmit } = this.props;

        const user = this.props.profile.user;

        return (
        <div> {user ? user.email : ''}
            <form onSubmit={handleSubmit(this.handleEditProfileFormSubmit.bind(this))}>
                <Field name="email" label="Email:" component={this.renderField} type="text" placeholder="email@gmail.com" className="form-control"/>
                <Field name="name" label="Name:"  component={this.renderField} type="text" placeholder="John Doe" className="form-control"/>
                <Field name="role" label="Role:" component={this.renderSelect} type="select" className="form-control" options={this.getRoleOptions()}/>
                <button action="submit" className="btn btn-primary">Edit user</button>

                <Field name="password" label="Password:" component={this.renderField} type="password" className="form-control"/>
                <Field name="passwordConfirm" label="Confirm Password:" component={this.renderField} type="password" className="form-control"/>
                { this.props.errorMessage
                &&  <div className="alert alert-danger">
                        <strong>Oops!</strong> {this.props.errorMessage}
                    </div> }
                <button action="submit" className="btn btn-primary">Sign up!</button>
            </form>
        </div>
        );
    }

}

let InitializeFromStateForm = reduxForm({
    form: 'initializeFromState'
})(UserEdit);

InitializeFromStateForm = connect(
  state => ({
    profile: state.profile,
    initialValues: state.profile.user
  }),
  { fetchRoleList, fetchUserData }
)(InitializeFromStateForm);

export default InitializeFromStateForm;

I do believe action creator will be useful as well:

export function fetchUserData(user_id) {
    user_id = user_id ? user_id : '';

    const authorization = localStorage.getItem('token');
    const request = axios.get(`${ROOT_URL}/user/${user_id}`, {
      headers: { authorization }
    });

    return {
        type: FETCH_USER,
        payload: request
    };
}

You need to add enableReinitialize: true as below.

let InitializeFromStateForm = reduxForm({
    form: 'initializeFromState',
    enableReinitialize : true // this is needed!!
})(UserEdit)

If your initialValues prop gets updated, your form will update too.
