I'm stuck in a wierd behaviour that I can't really debug.
The store dispatch the action that perform the login request passing username and password. Then when the response is ready I store the credentials in the redux store. When I need to perform an authorized request I set those parameters in the header request. When I receive the response I update the credentials in the store with the new ones that I get from the response. When I try to perform the third request it will respond unauthorized. I figured out that this is because all the parameters passed to my action generator setCredentials are null. I can't understand why also because if I add a debugger before the return statement of my setCredentials function and I wait some seconds before restart the execution I found out that the parameters aren't null anymore. I was thinking about the fact that the request is async but being inside a then statement the response should be ready right? I've also notice that fetch sent two request for each one. Here the code for more clarity.
import { combineReducers } from 'redux'
import { createStore, applyMiddleware } from 'redux';
import thunk from 'redux-thunk';
const initialState = {
currentUser: {
credentials: {},
user: {}
},
test: {},
users: []
}
export const SUBMIT_LOGIN = 'SUBMIT_LOGIN'
export const SET_USER = 'SET_USER'
export const TEST = 'TEST'
export const SET_USERS = 'SET_USERS'
export const SET_CREDENTIALS = 'SET_CREDENTIALS'
//actions
const submitLogin = () => (dispatch) => {
return postLoginRequest()
.then(response => {
dispatch(setCredentials(
response.headers.get('access-token'),
response.headers.get('client'),
response.headers.get('expiry'),
response.headers.get('token-type'),
response.headers.get('uid')
));
return response
})
.then(response => {
return response.json();
})
.then(
(user) => dispatch(setUser(user.data)),
);
}
const performRequest = (api) => (dispatch) => {
return api()
.then(response => {
dispatch(setCredentials(
response.headers.get('access-token'),
response.headers.get('client'),
response.headers.get('expiry'),
response.headers.get('token-type'),
response.headers.get('uid')
));
return response
})
.then(response => {return response.json()})
.then(
(users) => {
dispatch(setUsers(users.data))
},
);
}
const setUsers = (users) => {
return {
type: SET_USERS,
users
}
}
const setUser = (user) => {
return {
type: SET_USER,
user
}
}
const setCredentials = (
access_token,
client,
expiry,
token_type,
uid
) => {
debugger
return {
type: SET_CREDENTIALS,
credentials: {
'access-token': access_token,
client,
expiry,
'token-type': token_type,
uid
}
}
}
//////////////
const currentUserInitialState = {
credentials: {},
user: {}
}
const currentUser = (state = currentUserInitialState, action) => {
switch (action.type) {
case SET_USER:
return Object.assign({}, state, {user: action.user})
case SET_CREDENTIALS:
return Object.assign({}, state, {credentials: action.credentials})
default:
return state
}
}
const rootReducer = combineReducers({
currentUser,
test
})
const getAuthorizedHeader = (store) => {
const credentials = store.getState().currentUser.credentials
const headers = new Headers(credentials)
return headers
}
//store creation
const createStoreWithMiddleware = applyMiddleware(
thunk
)(createStore);
const store = createStoreWithMiddleware(rootReducer);
const postLoginRequest = () => {
return fetch('http://localhost:3000/auth/sign_in', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
},
body: JSON.stringify({
email: '[email protected]',
password: 'password',
})
})
}
const getUsers = () => {
const autorizedHeader = getAuthorizedHeader(store)
return fetch('http://localhost:3000/users',
{
method: 'GET',
headers : autorizedHeader
}
)
}
const getWorks = () => {
const autorizedHeader = getAuthorizedHeader(store)
return fetch('http://localhost:3000/work_offers',
{
method: 'GET',
headers : autorizedHeader
}
)
}
// this request works fine
store.dispatch(submitLogin())
// this request works fine
setTimeout(() => {
store.dispatch(performRequest(getUsers))
}, 3000)
// this fails
setTimeout(() => {
store.dispatch(performRequest(getWorks))
}, 5000)

performRequest(getUsers), it comes back with empty headers.
