enter image description hereI am having trouble getting my comments to post. Can someone look at my codes and give me some feedback?
Whenever I post a comment, the screen flashes but nothing posts. I tested the back-end functions on Postman and everything there works fine so I'm assuming something isn't working properly in the front end.
I've tried everything I can. Fairly new to coding and not sure what to try next.
useEffect(() => {
if(!loggedIn) {
navigate.push('/login')
}
return () => {
setErrors([])
}
}, [loggedIn, setContent, navigate, setErrors])
const handleSubmit = (e) => {
e.preventDefaul();
const newContent = {
content: content,
blog_id: blog.id
}
fetch('/comments', {
method: "POST",
headers: {
"Content-Type": "application/json"
},
body: JSON.stringify(newContent)
})
.then(resp => resp.json())
.then(data => {
if(data.errors) {
setErrors(data.errors)
} else {
addComment(data)
}
});
}
you misstyped preventDefault
just below the function declaration of handleSubmit
you wrote e.preventDefaul()
. While I cannot see the rest of your component what I assume is happening, is that the forms submits which triggers a reload and stops the promise from sending. Fixing this typo will probably fix your problem.
