trycatch block not sent error when error triggers

iam using react-redux here and when i use trycatch block it not triggers error when error is executed.why??
import {
LOGIN_REQUEST,
LOGIN_SUCCESS,
LOGIN_FAIL,
CLEAR_ERRORS,
} from "../constants/userConstant";
impo
rt axios from "axios";
export const login = (email, password) => async (dispatch) => {
try {
dispatch({ type: LOGIN_REQUEST });
const config = { headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" } };
const { data } = await axios.post(
`/api/v1/login`,
{ email, password },
config
);
dispatch({ type: LOGIN_SUCCESS, payload: data.user });
} catch (error) {
dispatch({ type: LOGIN_FAIL, payload: error.response.data.message });
}
};
//Clearing errors
export const clearErrors = () => async (dispatch) => {
dispatch({ type: CLEAR_ERRORS });
};
=>It was showing LOGIN_FAIL in react-redux-devtools but it was not throwing an error

catch (error) {
dispatch({ type: LOGIN_FAIL, payload: error.response.data.message });
// Log your error in the console
console.log(error);
// throw error
throw error
}
If you want to console error or throw error do it this way but you actually just call your dispatch for the moment.
The try catch blocks are here to handle every situations your function meet, when an error come it's been caught but YOU have to decide how to handle this error.

ReactJS: How to implement react-cookie properly in an action?

I have read articles that saving the token in localstorage is dangerous to XSS attack. So I have decided to store my tokens in cookies. And I am using react-cookie. I saw the examples and I am trying to do it but my auth.js consists of const and is not a class, so I do not know how to use the withCookies() with it, this is my auth.js where I want to store the token to the cookies:
import {
LOGIN,
LOGIN_SUCCESS,
LOGIN_FAILED,
GET_USER_DATA,
GET_USER_DATA_SUCCESS,
GET_USER_DATA_FAILED,
LOGOUT,
LOGOUT_SUCCESS,
LOGOUT_FAILED,
} from './types'
import axios from 'axios'
var api = require ('./../api.js');
export const login = (email, pass) => {
return (dispatch) => {
dispatch({
type: LOGIN
})
var url = api.logInApi
axios.post(url, {
email: email,
password: pass
})
.then(res => {
dispatch({
type: LOGIN_SUCCESS,
payload: res.data
})
localStorage.setItem('token', res.data.token)
dispatch(getUserData())
})
.catch(err => dispatch({
type: LOGIN_FAILED,
payload: err
}))
}
}
export const getUserData = () => {
return (dispatch) => {
dispatch({
type: GET_USER_DATA
})
var url = api.getUserDataApi
axios.post(url, {}, {headers: {
"Authorization": `Bearer ${localStorage.getItem("token")}`
}})
.then(res => {
dispatch({
type: GET_USER_DATA_SUCCESS,
payload: res.data
})
})
.catch(err => dispatch({
type: GET_USER_DATA_FAILED,
payload: err
}))
}
}
export const logout = () => {
return (dispatch) => {
dispatch({
type: LOGOUT
})
var url = api.logoutApi
axios.post(url, {}, {headers: {
"Authorization": `Bearer ${localStorage.getItem("token")}`
}})
.then(res => {
window.location.replace("")
dispatch({
type: LOGOUT_SUCCESS,
payload: res.data
})
})
.catch(err => dispatch({
type: LOGOUT_FAILED,
payload: err
}))
}
}
Now, I tried doing this and of course it doesn't work:
import {
LOGIN,
LOGIN_SUCCESS,
LOGIN_FAILED,
GET_USER_DATA,
GET_USER_DATA_SUCCESS,
GET_USER_DATA_FAILED,
LOGOUT,
LOGOUT_SUCCESS,
LOGOUT_FAILED,
} from './types'
import axios from 'axios'
import { withCookies, Cookies } from 'react-cookie'; <<added this
var api = require ('./../api.js');
const login = (email, pass) => {
return (dispatch) => {
dispatch({
type: LOGIN
})
const { cookies } = props; <<added this
var url = api.logInApi
axios.post(url, {
email: email,
password: pass
})
.then(res => {
dispatch({
type: LOGIN_SUCCESS,
payload: res.data
})
cookies.set('token', res.data.token, { path: '/' }); <<added this
dispatch(getUserData())
})
.catch(err => dispatch({
type: LOGIN_FAILED,
payload: err
}))
}
}
export default withCookies(login) <<added this(wrong)
const getUserData = () => {
return (dispatch) => {
dispatch({
type: GET_USER_DATA
})
const { cookies } = props; <<added this
var token = cookies.get('token'); <<added this
var url = api.getUserDataApi
axios.post(url, {}, {headers: {
"Authorization": `Bearer ${token}` <<added this(this is where I wanna get the cookie)
}})
.then(res => {
dispatch({
type: GET_USER_DATA_SUCCESS,
payload: res.data
})
})
.catch(err => dispatch({
type: GET_USER_DATA_FAILED,
payload: err
}))
}
}
export default withCookies(getUserData) <<added this(wrong)
const logout = () => {
return (dispatch) => {
dispatch({
type: LOGOUT
})
const { cookies } = props;
var token = cookies.get('token');
var url = api.logoutApi
axios.post(url, {}, {headers: {
"Authorization": `Bearer ${token}` <<added this
}})
.then(res => {
window.location.replace("")
dispatch({
type: LOGOUT_SUCCESS,
payload: res.data
})
})
.catch(err => dispatch({
type: LOGOUT_FAILED,
payload: err
}))
}
}
export default withCookies(logout) <<added this(wrong)
this one is wrong because there should only be one export default. But I don't know how to implement withCookies to const and there are also these ones that are included in the example and I don't know if I need them or where do I put them:
static propTypes = {
cookies: instanceOf(Cookies).isRequired
};
constructor(props) {
super(props);
const { cookies } = props;
this.state = {
name: cookies.get('name') || 'Ben'
};
}
and also, another question is that, I can access my cookies anywhere in my project right? just like how localstorage is accessible to my project?
I hope someone can help me and I am a newbie to this. I have never used cookies before so thank you for your consideration.

I personally would rather using js-cookie to write/read cookies.
It has a very basic API:
Cookie.set('cookie_name', 'value') // will set "cookie_name" to "value"
Cookie.get('cookie_name') // will return "value"
Which means:
const login = (email, pass, cookie) => {
return (dispatch) => {
dispatch({
type: LOGIN
})
var url = api.logInApi
axios.post(url, {
email: email,
password: pass
})
.then(res => {
dispatch({
type: LOGIN_SUCCESS,
payload: res.data
})
cookies.set('token', res.data.token);
dispatch(getUserData())
})
.catch(err => dispatch({
type: LOGIN_FAILED,
payload: err
}))
}
}
Passing to the login funuction js-cookie's Cookie in the 3rd argument.
Now, you can still use the same react-cookie package to read the cookie values (I believe there shouldn't be any conflicts). Or you can replace it with js-cookie. To do that, however, you will have to pass the Cookie object to props. I probably would do that using mapStateToProps if you're using Redux or just by simply passing it through JSX

Looking to pull a key called eventDateTime from a CouchDB doc

I'm looking into pulling a key off all of my CouchDB documents called eventDateTime, which tracks a POST'ed event's date/time on the database.
But is there a way I could just pass the data tracked here under "newWorkout" too, the /calender route as an array?
export const createNewWorkout = history => (dispatch, getState) => {
dispatch({ type: WORKOUT_SAVE_STARTED })
const newWorkout = getState().newWorkout.data
fetch(`${url}progress`, {
headers: {
"Content-Type": "application/json"
},
method: "POST",
body: JSON.stringify(newWorkout)
})
.then(res => {
console.log("res: ", res)
return res.json()
})
.then(saveResponse => {
console.log("in happy", JSON.stringify(saveResponse))
if (!saveResponse.ok) {
dispatch({
type: NEW_WORKOUT_SAVE_FAILED,
payload: "Could not save the workout."
})
} else {
dispatch({ type: NEW_WORKOUT_SAVE_SUCCEEDED })
history.push("/calender")
}
})
.catch(err => {
console.log(JSON.stringify("ERRRRRR", err))
dispatch({
type: NEW_WORKOUT_SAVE_FAILED,
payload:
"Unexpected error prevented us from saving the workout. Please try again."
})
})
}

React-Redux syntax error "," expected

New to this.
...and this is probably very simple. I have looked at the code for the const "selectData" and I cannot find where a comma is suppose to go. Here is the entire file:
export const requestLoginToken = (username, password) =>
(dispatch, getState) => {
dispatch({ type: REQUEST_LOGIN_TOKEN, payload: username })
const payload = {
userName: username,
password: password,
}
const task = fetch('/api/jwt', {
method: 'POST',
body: JSON.stringify(payload),
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json;charset=UTF-8'
},
})
.then(handleErrors)
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => {
dispatch({ type: RECEIVE_LOGIN_TOKEN, payload: data })
saveJwt(data)
selectData()
})
.catch(error => {
clearJwt()
dispatch({ type: ERROR_LOGIN_TOKEN, payload: error.message })
})
addTask(task)
return task
}
const selectData = () => {
dispatch({ type: REQUEST_SELECT_DATA })
const token = jwt.access_token
const headers = new Headers({
'Authorization': `Bearer ${token}`
})
const selectData = fetch('/api/SelectData/SelectData', {
method: 'GET',
headers,
})
.then(handleErrors)
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => {
dispatch({ type: RECEIVE_SELECT_DATA, payload: data })
.catch(error => {
clearJwt()
dispatch({ type: ERROR_SELECT_DATA, payload: error.message })
})
}
}
The error is on the very last curly bracket and it says:
Unexpected token, expected , (72:0)
line 72 is the last curly bracket.
If I remove the const expression that is "selectData" its OK - no errors. The error only appears when I add in that block of code... i.e its in the following:
const selectData = () => {
dispatch({ type: REQUEST_SELECT_DATA })
const token = jwt.access_token
const headers = new Headers({
'Authorization': `Bearer ${token}`
})
const selectData = fetch('/api/SelectData/SelectData', {
method: 'GET',
headers,
})
.then(handleErrors)
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => {
dispatch({ type: RECEIVE_SELECT_DATA, payload: data })
.catch(error => {
clearJwt()
dispatch({ type: ERROR_SELECT_DATA, payload: error.message })
})
}
}
Why is this block of code causeing an error?

You forgot a ) on the last then:
.then(data => {
dispatch({ type: RECEIVE_SELECT_DATA, payload: data })
.catch(error => {
clearJwt()
dispatch({ type: ERROR_SELECT_DATA, payload: error.message })
})
}) // <--- here
And you should always use ;. I recommend you to use a linter to check your code, like ESLint

React Redux promise error - (...).then is not a function

Had a look for this in the questions that offered but this was the closest and it didnt really address my problem.
I have a code block (detailed a little way down the page) as part of a larger fetch block.. it gets to this codeblock and also runs fine if this code block is commented out i.e it carrys out a successful fetch etc and returns a JWT no problem but... add this block in and i get the following error:
TypeError: (0 , _localStorageDropDowns.confirmSelectDataExistance)(...).then is not a function
It is referring to this function in another folder (imported correctly)..
export const confirmSelectDataExistance = () => {
const companyStateShortNameJson = localStorage.getItem(COMPANYSTATESHORTNAME)
const statesJson = localStorage.getItem(STATES)
const suburbLocationsJson = localStorage.getItem(LOCATIONS)
if (companyStateShortNameJson || statesJson || suburbLocationsJson) {
console.log('something exists in localstorage')
return true
}
console.log('nothing in localstorage')
return false
}
simple function - returns true or false.
and here is the code block -its failing on the first line:
return confirmSelectDataExistance().then(isConfirmed => {
if (!isConfirmed) {
dispatch({ type: REQUEST_SELECT_DATA })
console.log('gets here!', isConfirmed)
const token = getJwt()
const headers = new Headers({
'Authorization': `Bearer ${token}`
})
const retrieveSelectData = fetch('/api/SelectData/SelectData', {
method: 'GET',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json;charset=UTF-8'
},
})
.then(handleErrors)
.then(response => response.json())
.then(selectData => {
dispatch({ type: RECEIVE_SELECT_DATA, payload: selectData })
saveSelectData(selectData)
});
return saveSelectData(selectData);
}
})
From my limited experience the "confirmSelectDataExistance" is a function so why is it saying that its not?
Finally here is the whole action in its entirety so you can see how it that block is called.. as I said - comment the block out and it works perfectly..
export const requestLoginToken = (username, password) =>
(dispatch, getState) => {
dispatch({ type: REQUEST_LOGIN_TOKEN, payload: username })
const payload = {
userName: username,
password: password,
}
const task = fetch('/api/jwt', {
method: 'POST',
body: JSON.stringify(payload),
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json;charset=UTF-8'
},
})
.then(handleErrors)
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => {
dispatch({ type: RECEIVE_LOGIN_TOKEN, payload: data })
saveJwt(data)
return confirmSelectDataExistance().then(isConfirmed => {
if (!isConfirmed) {
dispatch({ type: REQUEST_SELECT_DATA })
console.log('gets here!', isConfirmed)
const token = getJwt()
const headers = new Headers({
'Authorization': `Bearer ${token}`
})
const retrieveSelectData = fetch('/api/SelectData/SelectData', {
method: 'GET',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json;charset=UTF-8'
},
})
.then(handleErrors)
.then(response => response.json())
.then(selectData => {
dispatch({ type: RECEIVE_SELECT_DATA, payload: selectData })
saveSelectData(selectData)
});
return saveSelectData(selectData);
}
})
})
.catch(error => {
clearJwt()
console.log('ERROR - LOGIN!',error)
})
addTask(task)
return task
}
EDIT
I have finally got this to work after hacking away for hours.. Here is the finished action:
export const requestLoginToken = (username, password) =>
(dispatch, getState) => {
dispatch({ type: REQUEST_LOGIN_TOKEN, payload: username })
const payload = {
userName: username,
password: password,
}
const task = fetch('/api/jwt', {
method: 'POST',
body: JSON.stringify(payload),
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json;charset=UTF-8'
},
})
.then(handleErrors)
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => {
dispatch({ type: RECEIVE_LOGIN_TOKEN, payload: data })
saveJwt(data)
// Now check local storage for dropdown data..
if (!confirmSelectDataExistance()) {
dispatch({ type: REQUEST_SELECT_DATA })
const token = JSON.stringify(data)
const headers = new Headers({
'Authorization': `Bearer ${token}`
})
const retrieveSelectData = fetch('/api/SelectData/SelectData', {
method: 'GET',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json;charset=UTF-8'
},
})
.then(handleErrors)
.then(response => response.json())
.then(selectData => {
dispatch({ type: RECEIVE_SELECT_DATA, payload: selectData })
saveSelectData(selectData)
});
}
})
.catch(error => {
clearJwt()
console.log('ERROR - LOGIN!', error)
})
addTask(task)
return task
}
and here is the function it calls:
export const confirmSelectDataExistance = () => {
const companyStateShortNameJson = localStorage.getItem(COMPANYSTATESHORTNAME)
const statesJson = localStorage.getItem(STATES)
const suburbLocationsJson = localStorage.getItem(LOCATIONS)
if (companyStateShortNameJson || statesJson || suburbLocationsJson) {
console.log('something exists in localstorage')
return true
}
console.log('nothing in localstorage')
return false
}
The one thing I changed from the other attempts is that I used "data" instead of calling "getJwt()". I then used the line:
const token = JSON.stringify(data)
to obtain the JWT I just got.
In the end I used #Karin s answer and ran with that. (upvoted by me)

The error is not saying that confirmSelectDataExistance is not a function, it's saying that then isn't a function on what is returned from it, which is a boolean (it would be equivalent to false.then(...), which doesn't work).
If seems like you're trying to use then as a conditional. In that case a simple if statement should work:
if (confirmSelectDataExistance()) {
// do things if it returns true
} else {
// do things if it returns false
}

export const confirmSelectDataExistance = () => {
return new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
const companyStateShortNameJson = localStorage.getItem(COMPANYSTATESHORTNAME)
const statesJson = localStorage.getItem(STATES)
const suburbLocationsJson = localStorage.getItem(LOCATIONS)
if (companyStateShortNameJson || statesJson || suburbLocationsJson) {
console.log('something exists in localstorage')
resolve(true)
}
console.log('nothing in localstorage')
reject(false)
})
}

Try something like this:
export const confirmSelectDataExistance = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
const companyStateShortNameJson = localStorage.getItem(COMPANYSTATESHORTNAME);
const statesJson = localStorage.getItem(STATES);
const suburbLocationsJson = localStorage.getItem(LOCATIONS);
if (companyStateShortNameJson || statesJson || suburbLocationsJson) {
console.log('something exists in localstorage');
resolve(true);
}
console.log('nothing in localstorage');
reject(false); // or resolve(false) if you want handle this situation inside then block also
});
