How to Ensure Your Components Re-render After a redux Dispatch
When working with React and Redux, it can be frustrating when your UI components don't update as expected after a state change. A common scenario involves using a component, such as FormControlLabel, that relies on Redux state. You may find that after dispatching an action via onChange, the state in the Redux store updates correctly, but the corresponding component fails to re-render. So, how can you get your React components to respond to these state changes seamlessly?
In this post, we’ll explore how to ensure that your components automatically re-render whenever the state changes, without relying on additional state management tools like useState.
Understanding the Problem
In the scenario you're facing:
You have a component that should display the latest state from the Redux store.
A Redux action is dispatched on a change event, updating the state in the Redux store correctly.
However, the component does not reflect these changes on the screen.
This can lead to confusion about whether the state has truly changed or if the UI is simply lagging behind. To resolve this, we need to leverage built-in capabilities of React and Redux.
The Solution: Using useSelector
To get your component to re-render automatically upon state updates in your Redux store, you can use the useSelector hook. This hook subscribes to Redux store updates and allows your components to access the current state directly.
Step-by-Step Explanation
Import useSelector from React Redux: First, make sure that you have imported useSelector into your component.

Select the Desired State: Use useSelector to select the specific piece of state that your component needs from the Redux store. For example:

In this example, someSlice represents the slice of the Redux store that you're accessing, and someValue is the particular state value you want to reflect in your component.
Render the Component Based on Selected State: Now that your component is receiving the necessary state updates, you can render content based on value:

Why This Works
The useSelector hook ensures that your component subscribes to the Redux store. Whenever the value returned by the selector function changes (e.g., when an action is dispatched and the store updates), React will trigger a re-render of the component that uses this hook. This means that you won’t need to manage local state with useState, which can lead to redundancy and confusion if not handled properly.
Conclusion
By using the useSelector hook from React Redux, you can ensure that your components automatically re-render in response to changes in the Redux state, eliminating the need for additional state management solutions like useState. Leveraging this powerful feature helps maintain a clean, efficient workflow in your React application.
Implement this solution in your current setup, and watch your components reflect state changes accurately every time.
