React/redux input values not showing - reactjs

Question

I am using react/redux with redux-form and for some reason the input values are not showing on my edit form.
I console.log my post and it shows that they are there, but for some reason it is not working. I will post code below.
edit component:
import React , { Component } from 'react';
import * as actions from '../../actions/posts_actions';
import { reduxForm, Field } from 'redux-form';
import {connect} from 'react-redux';
import {Link} from 'react-router-dom';
class EditPost extends Component {
componentDidMount() {
const {id} = this.props.match.params;
this.props.getOnePost(id);
}
renderField(field) {
const { meta: {touched, error} } = field;
const className = `form-group ${touched && error ? 'has-danger' : ''}`;
return (
<div className={className}>
<label><strong>{field.label}:</strong></label>
<input
className="form-control"
type={field.type}
value={field.value}
{...field.input}
/>
<div className="text-help">
{ touched ? error : ''}
</div>
</div>
)
}
onSubmit(values) {
const {id} = this.props.match.params;
this.props.updatePost(values, id, () => {
this.props.history.push(`/posts/${id}`);
});
}
render() {
const {handleSubmit} = this.props;
const {post} = this.props;
if(!post) {
return <div> Loading... </div>;
}
console.log(post);
return (
<form onSubmit={handleSubmit(this.onSubmit.bind(this))}>
<Field
label="Title"
name="title"
type="text"
value={post.title}
component={this.renderField}
/>
<Field
label="Content"
name="content"
type="text"
value={post.content}
component={this.renderField}
/>
<button type="submit" className="btn btn-success">Submit</button>
<Link to={`/posts/${post._id}`} className="btn btn-danger">Cancel</Link>
</form>
);
}
}
function validate(values) {
const errors = {};
if(!values.title) {
errors.title = "Enter a title!";
}
if(!values.content) {
errors.content = "Enter some content please!";
}
return errors;
}
function mapStateToProps({ posts }, ownProps) {
return { post: posts[ownProps.match.params.id] };
}
export default reduxForm({
validate,
form: 'editform'
})(connect(mapStateToProps, actions)(EditPost));

Answer 1

Instead of setting the value directly, pass an initialValues prop:
function mapStateToProps({ posts }, ownProps) {
const post = posts[ownProps.match.params.id]
return {
post,
initialValues: {
...post
}
};
}
remove value props from Fields in your form. So long as the properties on your Post object are the same as the name of the field you want to populate, you can just use object spread. If they are different, you'll have to map them appropriately
initialValues: {
contentField: post.content
}
<Field name="contentField" />
initial values have to be set before you use the reduxForm enhancer. Also, because I know it'll come up (and trust me, it always comes up eventually), if you want your form values to update if your model updates, you'll have add enableReinitialize: true to reduxForm's config
