How to use Redux-Form with React-Bootstrap?

Question

I am trying to use \"redux-form\": \"^6.7.0\" with \"react-bootstrap\": \"^0.31.0\"

My Component renders nicely, but when I press Submit, what I see is an empty object.<

See: https://github.com/erikras/redux-form/issues/2917

Oh, this was a great mystery. I followed the advice in https://github.com/react-bootstrap/react-bootstrap/issues/2210 and both the warning about additional props and the empty submit stopped.

It seems you have to wrap the Bootstrap in your custom component (why?, I don't know). Also make sure you custom component is a stateless funcitonal component, or after the first key press, you field will blur and lose focus.

There are some warnings in the documentation of redux-form about this.

my custom field component FieldInput

  const FieldInput = ({ input, meta, type, placeholder, min, max }) => {
        return (
            
        )
    }

and I invoke it like this:

So now, the definition of FieldInput and Config look like this:

import React, { Component } from 'react'
import { Field, reduxForm } from 'redux-form'
import { connect } from 'react-redux'
import { Form, FormControl, FormGroup, ControlLabel, Col, Button, Tooltip, OverlayTrigger } from 'react-bootstrap'
import * as Act from '../dash/actions.js'
import FaFolderOpen from 'react-icons/lib/fa/folder-open'
import FaFileCodeO from 'react-icons/lib/fa/file-code-o'

const FieldInput = ({ input, meta, type, placeholder, min, max }) => {
    return (
        
    )
}

const Config = ({ ServerPort, UserID, PortNumber, WWWUrl, SourcePath, FMEPath, pickFile, pickFolder, handleSubmit }) => {
    return (
        

            
                Watson Port:
                
                    TCP port for Watson to use)}>
