Rematch for Redux: Struggling to see state on different screens

Question

I am new to Rematch for Redux. I am redoing my application using Rematch, but I do not know if I am doing any of this correctly? How/Where do I trigger my reducers and effects (Step 3 in Rematch Docs)? I cannot see my state when I switch between screens. The state seems to be resetting. Could someone please help me? I would greatly appreciate it.

I followed this: https://github.com/rematch/rematch

Here is my code down below:

My application will get bigger, thus the reason why I placed these in different files to build up into the models.js.

store/user.js

const user = {
    state: {},
    reducers: {
        login(payload) { return payload },
        email(state, payload) {
            return { ...state, payload }
        },
        password(state, payload) {
            return { ...state, payload }
        },
        username(state, payload) {
            return { ...state, payload }
        },
        fullname(state, payload) {
            return { ...state, payload }
        },
    }
}

export default user

store/index.js

import { init } from '@rematch/core'

const models = {
    user,

}

const mapState = (state) => ({
    user: state.user,
})

const mapDispatch = ({ user: { email, password, username, fullname }}) => ({
    email: () => email(),
    password: () => password(),
    username: () => username(),
    fullname: () => fullname(),
})

export default connect(mapState, mapDispatch)(Signup)

The Login screen is using the same state as Sign up screen.

Answer 1

The state will never change because you don't pass any parameters while dispatching an action.

const mapDispatch = dispatch => ({
  setEmail: mail => dispatch.user.email(mail)
})

Everytime you called a function before you just invoked the reducer without a parameter.

Regarding your rematch model. Your reducers should not just return ...state & payload. Try to

const user = {
    state: {},
    reducers: {
        email(state, email) {
            return { ...state, email }
        },
        password(state, password) {
            return { ...state, password }
        },
        username(state, username) {
            return { ...state, username }
        },
        fullname(state, fullname) {
            return { ...state, fullname }
        },
    }
}
