React Redux PUT request failing - reactjs

REACT Redux PUT request gives me following error:
"Proxy error: Could not proxy request /api/stories/5ccf12b5f6b087c2a3fcc21b from localhost:3000 to http://localhost:5002.
[1] See https://nodejs.org/api/errors.html#errors_common_system_errors for more information (ECONNRESET)."
I made sample React Redux CRUD app based on #Brad Traversy tutorial and GET, POST, DELETE requests works fine.
API with mongoose:
const express = require("express");
const router = express.Router();
const auth = require("../../middleware/auth");
// Item Model
const Item = require("../../models/stories");
// #route GET api/items
// #desc Get All Items
// #access Public
router.get("/", (req, res) => {
Item.find()
.sort({ date: -1 })
.then(items => res.json(items));
});
// #route POST api/items
// #desc Create An Item
// #access Private
router.post("/", auth, (req, res) => {
const newItem = new Item({
title: req.body.title,
body: req.body.body,
author: "Les Frazier"
});
newItem.save().then(item => res.json(item));
});
router.put("/:_id", auth, (req, res) => {
var query = { _id: req.params._id };
var update = {
_id: req.params._id,
title: req.params.title,
body: req.params.body
};
var options = { new: true, useFindAndModify: false };
Item.findByIdAndUpdate(req.params._id, { $set: update }, options);
});
// #route DELETE api/items/:id
// #desc Delete A Item
// #access Private
router.delete("/:id", auth, (req, res) => {
Item.findById(req.params.id)
.then(item => item.remove().then(() => res.json({ success: true })))
.catch(err => res.status(404).json({ success: false }));
});
module.exports = router;

Ok so I found main problem...
I have replaced this code"
Item.findByIdAndUpdate(req.params._id, { $set: update }, options);
with this:
Item.findByIdAndUpdate(
req.params._id,
req.body,
{ new: false, useFindAndModify: false },
() => {
console.log("done");
}
);
And the record is being updated now in db. So the main problem is gone.
But whenever I refresh a page I'm still getting this:
Proxy error: Could not proxy request /api/stories/5ccf398fe278beca5efa3d23 from localhost:3000 to http://localhost:5002.

Context & Reducer not returning State

Could someone please let me know why the state isn't being updated from the reducer? The useEffect(()=>{}) isn't being triggered when the state is being returned from the reducer. I have validated the correct information is being passed to the return, but nothing can be seen from the LoginScreen.

Refactor your login function like this
const loginUser({ email, password }) => {
let config = {
header: {
"Content-Type": "application/json",
},
};
axios
.post("/api/user/login", { email, password }, config)
.then((response) => {
if (response.data.success) {
dispatch({ type: 'LOGIN_SUCCESS', payload: response.data });
}
})
.catch((error) => {
dispatch({ type: 'LOGIN_FAILED', payload: error });
});
}
and then your reducer
...
switch(action.type) {
...
case 'LOGIN_SUCCESS':
// return here a new object
// do not mutate the state (state.something = something) is not allowed
...
case 'LOGIN_FAILED':
// handle error
}
Prerequisite Reducer Concepts
Redux and useReducer use reducer like (previousState, action) => newState.
The reducer should be a 'pure' function as in this document. The promises, api calls should not be use inside reducers.
The problem:
Because you call api/promise inside the reducer. The reducer function returns the value before the promise finish. So when the promise finishes, nothing happen.
// A will be return before B, C are going to call
case "LOGIN_USER":
promiseFn()
.then(/* B */ ...)
.catch(/* C */ ...)
// A
return {
...
}
Solution:
Separate the non-pure calls from the reducer. And put them in the other code blocks (like inside hooks, event handlers...).

React-Redux: Action isn't properly being triggered

I'm trying to learn the MERN stack, and I'm going through this tutorial on YouTube. I'm getting stuck in Ep. 7. The issue I think I'm having is my ADD_ITEM action is never triggered, and so the state is never updated, and I have to reload the page in order to see any items added. The DELETE_ITEM action works properly, so I suspect there may be an issue with the ADD_ITEM action being called from a form in a modal, but I'm unsure.
Picture of my Redux DevTools after refreshing the page, deleting 2 items, and trying to add 1:
itemReducer.js
import { GET_ITEMS, ADD_ITEM, DELETE_ITEM, ITEMS_LOADING } from '../actions/types';
const initialState = {
items: [],
loading: false
};
export default function(state = initialState, action) {
console.log(action.type);
switch(action.type) {
case GET_ITEMS:
return { ...state, items: action.payload, loading: false };
case ADD_ITEM:
return { ...state, items: [action.payload, ...state] };
case DELETE_ITEM:
return { ...state,
items: state.items.filter(item => item._id !== action.payload)
};
case ITEMS_LOADING:
return {
...state,
loading: true
};
default:
return state;
}
}
ItemModal.js
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { Button, Modal, ModalHeader, ModalBody, Form, FormGroup, Label, Input } from 'reactstrap';
import { connect } from 'react-redux';
import { addItem } from '../actions/itemActions';
class ItemModal extends Component {
state = {
modal: false,
name: ''
}
toggle = () => {
this.setState({
modal: !this.state.modal
});
}
onChange = (e) => {
this.setState({ [e.target.name]: e.target.value })
}
onSubmit = (e) => {
e.preventDefault();
const newItem = {
name: this.state.name
}
this.props.addItem(newItem);
this.toggle();
}
render() {
return(
<div>
<Button
color="dark"
style={{marginBotton: '2rem'}}
onClick={this.toggle}
>Add Item</Button>
<Modal

</FormGroup>
<Button

style={{marginTop: '2rem'}}
block
>Submit</Button>

}

redux props receiving data twice

I am using redux to get the async data and response. In the below component when i post recipe and from server i get response through redux the success modal popup twice. reducer is running only once i have checked eveything, only component has problem. the problem could be with the lifecycle method.
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import 'antd/dist/antd.css';
import {withRouter} from 'react-router-dom';
import {connect} from 'react-redux';
import * as actionCreators from '../../actions/recipe-action/index';
import { Modal, Button } from "antd";
import Spinner from '../../UI/spinner';
class PostRecipe extends Component {
state = {
url: '',
visible: false,
}
showModal = () => {
this.setState({ visible: true });
};
onChangeHandler = (e) => {
this.setState({[e.target.name]: e.target.value});
}
handleOk = e => {
this.props.recipe(this.state.url);
this.setState({url: ""});
this.setState({ visible: false });
};
handleCancel = e => {
this.setState({ visible: false });
};
render() {
const { postRecipes } = this.props;
if(postRecipes.loading) {
return <Spinner />;
}else if(postRecipes.success.ok) {
// this success model popup twice after uploading the recipe
Modal.success({
content: "Recipe Uploaded"
});
}else if(postRecipes.failure.error) {
Modal.error({
title: "Error while uploading recipe",
});
}
return (
<div>
<div>
<Button type="primary" onClick={this.showModal}>
Add Recipe
</Button>
<Modal
title="Add Recipe"
visible={this.state.visible}
onOk={this.handleOk}
onCancel={this.handleCancel}
>
<input
style={{ width: "100%", padding: "5px", fontSize: "15px" }}
type="text"
placeholder="enter the url"
name="url"
value={this.state.url}
onChange={this.onChangeHandler}
/>
</Modal>
</div>
</div>
);
}
}
const mapStateToProps = ({ postRecipeReducers }) => {
const { recipe: { post: postRecipes } } = postRecipeReducers;
return {
postRecipes
}
};
const mapStateToDispatch = dispatch => {
return {
recipe: (url) => dispatch(actionCreators.postRecipes(url))
}
}
export default withRouter(connect(mapStateToProps, mapStateToDispatch)(PostRecipe));
// my action creators
import {POST_RECIPE_LOADING, POST_RECIPE_SUCCESS, POST_RECIPE_FAILURE, POST_RECIPE_RESET} from '../types';
import {GET_RECIPE_LOADING, GET_RECIPE_SUCCESS, GET_RECIPE_FAILURE, GET_RECIPE_RESET} from '../types';
import Parse from 'parse';
export const postRecipes = (url) => async(dispatch) => {
try {
dispatch({type: POST_RECIPE_LOADING, payload: null});
const {data} = await Parse.Cloud.run('post_recipe', {url: url});
dispatch({type: POST_RECIPE_SUCCESS, payload: data});
} catch(e) {
dispatch({type: POST_RECIPE_FAILURE, payload: {message: e.message}})
}
}
export const getRecipes = () => async (dispatch) => {
try {
dispatch({type: GET_RECIPE_LOADING, payload: null});
const {data} = await Parse.Cloud.run('get_recipe');
dispatch({type: GET_RECIPE_SUCCESS, payload: data});
} catch(e) {
dispatch({type: GET_RECIPE_FAILURE, payload: {message: e.message}})
}
};
Try this:
handleOk = e => {
this.props.recipe(this.state.url);
this.setState({url: "", visible: false});
};
state variable of class is a object with two keys: url and visible. You have to set both at once.
I would try implementing a constructor function to make sure that you have this bound to your local state.
In this code block,
handleOk = e => {
this.props.recipe(this.state.url);
this.setState({url: ""});
this.setState({ visible: false });
};
you could set the whole state in one line like this,
handleOk = e => {
this.props.recipe(this.state.url);
this.setState({url: "", visible: false});
}
I don't know that this will fix your problem. Just a bit of house keeping.

React redux proper updating record and reflecting changes on the screen

For learning purpose I made this web app where I'm trying to implement crud operations. All works properly except UPDATE, where MongoDB record is updated but changes on the screen are not reflected till the refresh.
I'm still learning therefore not everything is crystal clear, I'm suspecting a problem in a REDUCER... or in the component mapStateToProp object...
What am I doing wrong here?

Item.findByIdAndUpdate for sure update's db correctly, but should it also return anything so the reducer/action could react to it?

const Item = require("../../models/stories");
// #route GET api/items

.sort({ date: -1 })
.then(items => res.json(items));
});
// #route PUT api/items
// #desc Update An Item
// #access Private
router.put("/:_id", auth, (req, res) => {
Item.findByIdAndUpdate(

Yes, you want to return the updated item from your MongoDB database so that you have something to work with in your reducer. It looks like you've setup your action-creator to be prepared for that type of logic. So we just need to make a couple updates:
In your express route you would want something like:
router.put("/:_id", auth, (req, res) => {
//this returns a promise
Item.findByIdAndUpdate(
req.params._id,
req.body,
{ new: false, useFindAndModify: false },
() => {}
)
.then((updatedItem) => {
res.json(updatedItem) //we capture this via our promise-handler on the action
})
.catch((error) => {
return res.status(400).json({ couldnotupdate: "could not update item"})
})
});
Then we can tap into that updated item using res.data in your action-creator promise-handler
export const updateStory = story => (dispatch, getState) => {
axios
.put(`/api/stories/${story.id}`, story, tokenConfig(getState))
.then(res => {
dispatch({
type: UPDATE_STORY,
payload: res.data
});
})
.catch(err =>
dispatch(returnErrors(err.response.data, err.response.status))
);
};
Now that you have the updated item as an action-payload, we need to update your reducer:
case UPDATE_STORY:
return {
...state,
stories: state.stories.map((story) => {
if(story._id == action.payload._id){
return{
...story,
...action.payload
} else {
return story
}
}
})
};
With that you should be able to take the updated story from your back-end and have it reflected to the front.

React Form - Show Message if Successfully entered into (MongoDB) Database

I'm sorry I'm sure this question has been answered before I did a few searches and couldn't find it.
I just am trying to figure out a way to submit a form , and get a "Successfully Submitted your information" response to the user, and clear the form.
I made a small form to make it simple - any help would be greatly appreciated.
**Edit - At the moment you click submit and everything submits into the MongoDB correctly but nothing happens on the Client side. Would like something to show that the data has indeed been added
