ComponentWillReceiveProps not getting invoked










0















The code is as follows.



state = 
showSection: false,
selectedAccount: ''
;


The render method is defined as follows.



return (
<div>
<button onClick=this.selectAccount className="btn btn-default">Select Account</button>

this.state.showSection &&
<div>
<AccountSelectionForm handleAccordionClick=
this.handleAccordionClick
selectedAccount=this.state.selectedAccount
/>
</div>

</div>
)


selectAccount Method is defined as follows.



 selectAccount = () => 
this.setState(selectedAccount: 'A123')




AccountSelectionFormComponent




componentWillReceiveProps(nextProps) 
if(nextProps.selectedAccount)
this.setState(
accountId: nextProps.selectedAccount
);




When the button is clicked, selectedAccount value is changed. The prop value also gets changed, since this is passed in the props.



In the AccountSelectionForm component i have written the componentWillReceiveProps method to set the selectedAccount in the state.



My assumption was that this would invoke componentWillReceiveProps method since the prop is changed.
The problem is that the componentWillReceiveProps method is not invoked.



Questions:



Is this issue due to AccountSelectionForm still not rendered in DOM(this.state.showSection is still false).



Any idea on how to fix this?
