Provider not passing down Store

[thomasarogers]

Cannot access store from child components, just get an [ReferenceError: Can't find variable: store] error message. I createStore pass it down via Provider but when I try and call store.getState() just an error message. Actions / Reducers are called successfully.

None of that RN environment stuff is really useful here.

What version of React-Redux are you using? Can you provide a repo that reproduces the issue? A few screenshots isn't enough for us to understand what's happening.

[thomasarogers]

React-redux v5.1.1, unfortunately it has to remain a private repo. What other information would help shed light on the situation?

[markerikson]

Like I said, some kind of minimal repro of the issue.

Right now I have no idea what your code structure looks like, where the components are in relation to the provider, or anything else.

To be frank, we know that React-Redux works as intended overall, so my inclination is that it's an error in your application.

[markerikson]

Actually, I see one major error in that last screenshot. Why are you trying to directly access store inside a component? The point of React-Redux is that it abstracts away the interactions with the store. Your own components should never be referencing the store directly. Unless you've specifically done something like import {store} from "./store", there isn't a store variable in scope in that file, so that line will fail.

This looks to me like you have a misunderstanding of how React-Redux is intended to be used, and are using it wrong.

[thomasarogers]

Oh my mistake I saw several tutorials using store.getState() to demonstrate state had changed as a result of dispatching and action

[markerikson]

That's the difference between a basic tutorial without React, and actually using React-Redux. You might want to spend some time reading through the React-Redux docs.

Looks like that was the issue, so closing this.
