How to get selector working in redux-form app?

Question

I am a react newbie and trying to use selectors in my redux-form app. Here is a simplified sample(the original form contains tens of calculations and fields). It takes sums 2 amounts from the form and returns it:

import { createSelector } from "reselect";
import { sum } from "../calculations";

const sumAmounts = state =>{
    debugger
    if (!state) return;

    if (!state.amount1 || !state.amount2)
  return  sum(state.amount1,state.amount2);
};
export default createSelector(
    sumAmounts
);

When I run my Form it does not call the sumAmounts:

import React from "react";
import { Field, reduxForm, formValueSelector } from "redux-form";
import { connect } from "react-redux";
import sumAmounts from "../selectors/sumSelector";

export class FormContainer extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <form>
        <Field
          name="amount1"
          type="number"
          component="input"
          label="Amount 1"
        />
        <Field
          name="amount2"
          type="number"
          component="input"
          label="Amount 1"
        />
        <Field
          name="amount3"
          type="number"
          component="input"
          label="Amount 3"
        />
        <Field
          name="amount4"
          type="number"
          component="input"
          label="Amount 4"
        />
        <Field
          name="amount4"
          type="number"
          component="label"
          label={this.props.sum}
        />
      </form>
    );
  }
}

FormContainer = reduxForm({
  form: "myForm" // a unique identifier for this form
})(FormContainer);

const selector = formValueSelector("myForm");

FormContainer = connect(state => {
  const amount1 = selector(state, "amount1");
  const amount2 = selector(state, "amount2");
  const sum = sumAmounts(amount1, amount2);
  return { amount1, amount2, sum };
})(FormContainer);

export default FormContainer;

How can I make sure it is called?

Your sumAmounts is not a selector, you are invoking it using 2 parameters (sumAmounts(amount1, amount2)) but it only has one parameter state.

In your mapstatetoprops you are already extracting the state props you need to calculate the sum, namely amount1 and amount2 so why not calculating the sum there instead of going through other selectors?

  const amount1 = selector(state, "amount1");
  const amount2 = selector(state, "amount2");
  const sum = +amount1 + +amount2;
  console.log("map state to props " , amount1, amount2, sum);
  return { amount1, amount2, sum };
