I am new to react and MongoDB, I am trying to add months to a date in my database in mongo, but it only updates the first time I click on the <Price>
button, I need it to update every time I click it. The user has to log out and log back in for it to work again, but still only 1 update can be made to the database. Can someone explain to me why this is happening, and how could it be fixed?
This is the function
import React, { useContext } from "react";
import { useState } from "react";
import useFetch from "../../hooks/useFetch";
import Footer from "../../components/Footer";
import Navbar from "../../components/Navbar";
import Sidebar from "../../components/Sidebar";
import {
ContractContainer,
HeadingContainer,
TypeH1,
ActiveUntil,
MonthlyWrapper,
MonthlyContainer,
MonthNumber,
Price,
Navbarback,
} from "./userinfoElements";
import { AuthContext } from "../../context/AuthContext";
import moment from "moment";
import axios from "axios";
const Userinfo = () => {
// for nav bars
const [isOpen, setIsOpen] = useState(false);
// set state to true if false
const toggle = () => {
setIsOpen(!isOpen);
};
const { user } = useContext(AuthContext);
let { data, loading, reFetch } = useFetch(`/contracts/${user.contractType}`);
let dateFormat = moment(user.activeUntil).format("DD/MMMM/yyyy");
const updateDate = async () => {
try {
let newDate = moment(user.activeUntil).add(1, "months");
dateFormat = newDate.format("DD/MMMM/yyyy");
axios.put(`/activedate/${user.namekey}`, {
activeUntil: newDate,
});
} catch (err) {
console.log(err);
}
reFetch();
};
return (
<>
<Sidebar isOpen={isOpen} toggle={toggle} />
{/* navbar for smaller screens*/}
<Navbar toggle={toggle} />
<Navbarback /> {/* filling for transparent bacground navbar*/}
{loading ? (
"Loading components, please wait"
) : (
<>
<ContractContainer>
<HeadingContainer>
<TypeH1>{data.contractType}</TypeH1>
<ActiveUntil>Subscription active until {dateFormat}</ActiveUntil>
</HeadingContainer>
<MonthlyWrapper>
<MonthlyContainer>
<MonthNumber>1 Month</MonthNumber>
<Price onClick={updateDate}>{data.month1Price}$</Price>
</MonthlyContainer>
<MonthlyContainer>
<MonthNumber>3 Month</MonthNumber>
<Price onClick={updateDate}>{data.month3Price}$</Price>
</MonthlyContainer>
<MonthlyContainer>
<MonthNumber>6Month</MonthNumber>
<Price onClick={updateDate}>{data.month6Price}$</Price>
</MonthlyContainer>
<MonthlyContainer>
<MonthNumber>12Month</MonthNumber>
<Price onClick={updateDate}>{data.month12Price}$</Price>
</MonthlyContainer>
</MonthlyWrapper>
</ContractContainer>
</>
)}
<Footer />
</>
);
};
export default Userinfo;
this is the fetch hook
import { useEffect, useState } from "react";
import axios from "axios";
const useFetch = (url) => {
const [data, setData] = useState([]);
const [loading, setLoading] = useState(false);
const [error, setError] = useState(false);
useEffect(() => {
const fetchData = async () => {
setLoading(true);
try {
const res = await axios.get(url);
setData(res.data);
} catch (err) {
setError(err);
}
setLoading(false);
};
fetchData();
}, [url]);
const reFetch = async () => {
setLoading(true);
try {
const res = await axios.get(url);
setData(res.data);
} catch (err) {
setError(err);
}
setLoading(false);
};
return { data, loading, error, reFetch };
};
export default useFetch;
Any help is appreciated!
EDIT: added AuthContext file and server sided controllers if needed
import React from "react";
import { createContext, useEffect, useReducer } from "react";
const INITIAL_STATE = {
user: JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("user")) || null,
loading: false,
error: null,
};
export const AuthContext = createContext(INITIAL_STATE);
const AuthReducer = (state, action) => {
switch (action.type) {
case "LOGIN_START":
return {
user: null,
loading: true,
error: null,
};
case "LOGIN_SUCCESS":
return {
user: action.payload,
loading: false,
error: null,
};
case "LOGIN_FAILURE":
return {
user: null,
loading: false,
error: action.payload,
};
case "LOGOUT":
return {
user: null,
loading: false,
error: null,
};
default:
return state;
}
};
export const AuthContextProvider = ({ children }) => {
const [state, dispatch] = useReducer(AuthReducer, INITIAL_STATE);
useEffect(() => {
localStorage.setItem("user", JSON.stringify(state.user));
}, [state.user]);
return (
<AuthContext.Provider
value={{
user: state.user,
loading: state.loading,
error: state.error,
dispatch,
}}
>
{children}
</AuthContext.Provider>
);
};
api Controller to update active date
import User from "../models/User.js";

.json({ details: { ...otherDetails } });
} catch (err) {
next(err);
}
};

Give this a try. It awaits the put request, and only once that has responded it calls reFetch. Without the await you’re calling the reFetch before the put request has had a chance to complete its work.
You should update the stored
user
state to reflect theactiveUntil
date change.Define a ‘UPDATE_USER_DATE’ action in your reducer to update the user instance:
Then, after updating the date in
updateDate
, update theuser
state as well:
