Post Reactions not rendering updated reaction counts

There are three "reaction" types for a post in the ViewPost component: star (called a like), hand and heart. Each time a registered user clicks on one of them it updates the Postlike table with either a 0 or a 1 in the respective heart, star/like, hand column where the post_id is the foreign key for the post and the user_id is the foreign key for the user.

The actions are working both on the backend (the Rails controller successfully updates the database and returns the appropriate data back as JSON) and the frontend (the state in Redux reflects the new reaction counts. Yet, the number next to each reaction type on a post does not re-render when the dispatch action fires.

Help would be appreciated to get the reaction counter numbers on the ViewPost component to successfully refresh when the count in Redux state changes.

Populate EditProfile and WritePost components with defaultValues if they exist from Redux props

Two components: WritePost.jsx and EditProfile.jsx need to have their text inputs populated with default values if they exist in props from the Redux state.

Right now, defaultValue in the input tags only works on component initialization. I have setup an update of local state in a componentWillReceiveProps lifecycle in both components and local state does get updated when the Redux props are resolved, but I cannot figure out how to populate the inputs values with that information.

For the WritePost component the only default values that need to be populated are the title, tags checkboxes and publish radio buttons.

For the EditProfile component the default values are email, first_name, last_name, user_location and twitter.
