How to Use Component State in Another Component with React and Redux

In React, managing state between components can often seem confusing, especially when you're dealing with independent components. If you need to keep track of selections in one component (like a dropdown) and use that data in another component, you've come to the right place!

The Problem: Sharing State Between Two Components

Imagine you're using a dropdown menu in your application, and you want to update the state in another component whenever the user selects an option from this dropdown. You might be thinking, "I already know Redux helps communicate between sibling components, but I'm facing issues passing state correctly." This guide addresses that problem by exploring how to efficiently share component state across your React application using Redux.

Understanding the Current Setup

You've implemented a dropdown component that looks something like this:

Now, you wish to share this selected state with another component (e.g., App), but you're unsure how to dispatch that state to your Redux store.

The Solution: Dispatching State Correctly

Step 1: Dispatch in the Correct Place

Currently, your dispatch function is in the wrong spot. You should call dispatch inside your selected method, which is where you're updating your state.

Here’s how your selected method should look:

This change allows you to dispatch the new selected state every time the user makes a choice.

Step 2: Update Your Component to Connect to Redux

Your dropdown component should connect to Redux correctly. Remove the mapDispatchToProps if you’re not using it directly. Instead, you can use the dispatch that is provided by the connect function.

Here’s what your updated dropdown component could look like:

Step 3: Accessing the State in Another Component

In order to utilize the state (for example, the age that was just updated) in another component like App, you would connect that component to Redux too. Here’s a basic example:

Conclusion

And there you have it! By following these steps, you can seamlessly pass the selected state from one component to another with Redux. Always remember to dispatch your actions in the right place in your component, and ensure your components are properly connected to the Redux store.

This methodology not only helps maintain the flow of data within your application but also keeps your components organized and easier to manage. Happy coding!
