Feature in depth

Reservation modification

GetTable users can modify their reservations, either immediately after booking, by clicking on the 'Modify' link, or by clicking on the reservation from the user's 'My Reservations' page, which will take the user to the reservation details.

This navigation to the Modify Reservation page causes a reset of the Redux state, so the reservation ID is retrieved from the URL with useParams() to begin the process of reloading the state. The fetchReservation(reservationId) thunk action creator is called inside a useEffect() hook, which makes an async fetch request to the Rails backend.

In addition to the reservation information, the restaurant information is also retrieved using the belongs_to association, and this combined reservation and restaurant information is structured in a Jbuilder view before being sent in the response.

The getReservation action is then dispatched, and both the reservationReducer and restaurantReducer respond, updating their respective slices of state. Finally, the component can be rendered with the user's existing reservation information above the Reservation Update Form. The latter Update Form component receives both the reservation and restaurant as props so that the form can be prefilled with the user's previously selected choices before modifying the reservation.
