user name not updating in header on user update profile

[charmander-x]

username is not being updated when i update user details i tried different things but nothing works. please tell what to do

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

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

I faced a similar issue regarding registration https://github.com/bradtraversy/proshop_mern/issues/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

please post it here when you do so

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
