Redirect to Created Post after Create Post Saga












0















I have a blog where you can create a post, that works fine. What I want to do is redirect to the newly created post after creation.



postActions.js:



export function* watchCreatePost() {
yield takeEvery(CREATE_POST, createPostSaga);
}

function* createPostSaga(action) {
const token = yield select(selectToken);
const headerParams = {
Authorization: `JWT ${token}`
};
const apiCall = () => {
let formData = new FormData();
formData.append("title", action.payload.title);
formData.append("content", action.payload.content);
formData.append("thumbnail", action.payload.thumbnail);
formData.append("tags", action.payload.tags);
formData.append("slug", generateSlug(action.payload.title));
return axios({
method: "post",
url: "/posts/",
data: formData,
headers: headerParams
})
.then(response => response.data)
.catch(err => {
throw err;
});
};

try {
const response = yield call(apiCall);
const post = {};
post[response.id] = { ...response };
yield put({ type: ADD_POST, payload: response });
} catch (error) {
console.log(error);
}
}


Like I said this creates the post fine, but I am unsure on how to redirect after it completes. I know in redux-thunk you can use .then() but not an option as far as I can tell with redux-saga.

  • Is the newly created post on another URL? If so, this.props.history.push(URL_OF_BLOG_POST). Or if the new blog post is on the same page but you just want to scroll the page to it, then ReactDom.findDOMNode(DOM_NODE).scrollIntoView().

  • I could use this.props.history.push(URL_OF_BLOG_POST) if I knew the url of the post, but I don't until the saga finishes.

  • After yield put({ type: ADD_POST, payload: response }) add yield call(redirectToBlogPost) ?

  • That would work... if I knew how to redirectToBlogPost. props.history is not available in the saga, and I have no way of knowing the URL until the saga completes, so I can't redirect from the component because I don't know the URL, and I can't redirect from the saga because it doesn't have a method of redirecting.

Your ADD_POST action probably will be managed by a reducer that updates a sort of posts array into the state I guess?



If so
- add a phantom component with a render function that returns null
- add the state.posts array to its state props
- as soon the state.posts is updated you can redirect the user because since it's a component you have access to the history



If you use React-router or a similar library you can import the navigate function and redirect the user inside a saga too
