My react app is adding a new item instead of updating and replacing the item. Instead of replacing the item it adds another new item underneath it. The code: import Button from "./Button" import Input from "./Input" import { useForm } from 'react-hook-form' import { server_calls } from '../api/server' import { useDispatch, useStore } from 'react-redux'; import { chooseISBN, chooseAuthor, chooseTitle, chooseLength, chooseCover } from "../redux/slices/RootSlice"; interface ContactFormProps { id?: string[] } const ContactForm = (props:ContactFormProps) => { const { register, handleSubmit } = useForm({}) const dispatch = useDispatch(); const store = useStore(); const onSubmit = (data: any, event: any) => { console.log(`ID: ${typeof props.id}`); console.log(props.id) console.log(data) if (props.id && props.id.length > 0 ) { server_calls.update(props.id[0], data) console.log(`Updated: ${ data.name } ${ props.id }`) setTimeout(() => {window.location.reload()}, 1000); event.target.reset() } else { dispatch(chooseISBN(data.isbn_number)); dispatch(chooseAuthor(data.author_name)); dispatch(chooseTitle(data.book_title)); dispatch(chooseLength(data.book_length)); dispatch(chooseCover(data.hardcover_or_paperback)); server_calls.create(store.getState()) setTimeout( () => {window.location.reload()}, 1000); } } return ( ISBN Author Title Length Cover Submit ) } export default ContactForm
