user name not updating in header on user update profile about proshop_mern HOT 7 CLOSED

please post it here when you do so

from proshop_mern.

check if you update redux store after signin and you use it in app.js to show userInfo in the navbar.

from proshop_mern.

This is because we have userInfo in 3 different reducers.
userLoginReducer
userRegisterReducer
userUpdateProfileReducer

When you update profile userUpdateProfileReducer updates it's userInfo.
But your Header is connected to userLoginReducer which still has old data.

so basically how can i do it -- some code will be helpful

from proshop_mern.

I faced a similar issue regarding registration
#19

I haven't yet written the code to fix this problem. But you will probably need to have a single userInfo object in store that all three reducers are connected. That will solve this issue. This will require a lot of changes to redux actions & reducers

i found the fix that's probably not the correct way but its working good 😃

in user actions after USER_UPDATE_PROFILE_SUCCESS put another dispatch({
type: USER_LOGIN_SUCCESS,
payload: data,
});
localStorage.setItem("userInfo", JSON.stringify(data));

so basically it'll set userInfo to the udpated values
