I’m getting held up on the last two completion requirements. It appears to be some fundamental flaw in my syntax, possibly? I’ve not had a ton of problems up until this point, so I’m not sure why I’m really stuck on this, lol.
submitMessage() {
const curMsg = this.state.input;
this.setState ( { input: ‘’ });
this.props = {
// messages: this.state.messages.concat(this.state.input)
messages: // not sure how to make this work
};
}
So you’ve got the first part right – you want to use the state’s input in submitMessage. The next part, stating to use submitNewMessage() from this.props is where you’re running into problems. Note that submitNewMessage() is a function from props (see the mapDispatchStateToProps around line 75). So, the way you’re supposed to call this is just: this.props.submitNewMessage(message) – where, instead of message, you’d use curMsg.
You know what!?!?! Thanks to you and like way too much time on this problem, honestly, I have some issues at times spotting errors in what I am coding, like where objects are originating from, how javascript sees them, and what kind of dereferencing it requires as well as some minor scoping confusing here and there. I can say after not really having attempted to really pick the language up, i am making alot more progress in the past few days than, for, like ever. Thank you so much for your assistance Isurasani
React and Redux have been a bit of a challenge for me to get right.
