I have two components in react native and I'm unable to close a modal from my child component.
ListTrips - Parent
ModalAddTrip - Child
ListTrips.js
import ModalAddTrip from './ModalAddTrip';
....
....
this.state = {
isModalAddTripVisible: false
}
....
handleDismissModalAddTrip = () => {
this.setState({ isModalAddTripVisible: false });
};
closeModal() {
this.refs.ModalAdd.handleDismissModalAddTrip();
}
....
<ModalAddTrip
ref="ModalAdd"
isVisible={this.state.isModalAddTripVisible}
onBackDropPress={this.handleDismissModalAddTrip}
closeModal={() => this.closeModal()}
onRequestClose={this.handleDismissModalAddTrip}
/>
ModalAddTrip.js
<Modal
isVisible={isVisible}
onBackdropPress={onBackDropPress}
closeModal={this.props.child}
>
<Button
style={{ fontSize: 18, color: 'white' }}
containerStyle={{
padding: 8,
marginLeft: 70,
}}
onPress={this.closeModal}
>
I'm unable to close the modal once I open it. I know its something to do with referencing/props but I've messed around with it for hours and I cannot get anywhere. I was trying something along the lines of this.props.closeModal;
along with switching the ref to the child component but it didn't work either. inside a function in ModalAddTrip but that wouldn't work either.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks
