Why mapStateToProps return empty object when state has been mutated?

Question

I create action

export const KIDS_LOAD = 'KIDS_LOAD';
export const kidsLoad = (data) => ({
    type: KIDS_LOAD,
    payload: data ,
});

I create reducer

import { KIDS_LOAD } from '../customActions/KidsActions';

export default (state = {}, { type, payload }) => {
    if (type === KIDS_LOAD) {
                return {    ...state,   
                    img: payload.img,
                    kidsInfo: payload.kidsInfo
                };
    }
    return state;
}

I dispatch action

componentWillMount() {
                this.props.setSidebarVisibility(true);
                const { kidsLoad, record } = this.props;

                kidsLoad({
                    img : 'https://s18670.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/care_about_grades_middle_school.jpg',
                    kidsInfo: {
                        kidName : 'Sasha',
                        kidAge : '19',
                        kidHandType : 'Right',
                        kidGender : 'Boy', 
                    }
                })

                console.log( this.props.kidsTabData)

        }

I map state

const mapStateToProps = state => ({
        kidsTabData: state.kidsReducer,
        isLoading: state.admin.loading > 0,
    });
export default connect(mapStateToProps, { setSidebarVisibility, kidsLoad })(withStyles(styles)(MyLayout));

Store mutated

But console.log( this.props.kidsTabData) return empty object {}.

Can you tell where I’m wrong? It seems to me that everything goes to the store correctly, but the initialState gets to props.

The redux action kidsLoad is asynchronous. Try the console.log in componentDidUpdate

componentDidUpdate(){
    console.log(this.props.kidsTabData)
}
