I would like to know if there is a better way to conditionally pass a prop than using an if-statement.
For example, right now I have:
var parent = React.createClass({
propTypes: {
editable: React.PropTypes.bool.isRequired,
editableOpts: React.PropTypes.shape({...})
},
render: function() {
if(this.props.editable) {
return (
<Child editable={this.props.editableOpts} />
);
} else {
// In this case, Child will use the editableOpts from its own getDefaultProps()
return (
<Child />
);
}
}
});
Is there a way to write this without the if-statement? I am was thinking something along the lines of a type of inline-if-statement in the JSX:
var parent = React.createClass({
propTypes: {
editable: React.PropTypes.bool.isRequired,
editableOpts: React.PropTypes.shape({...})
},
render: function() {
return (
<Child
{this.props.editable ? editable={this.props.editableOpts} : null}
/>
);
}
});
To wrap-up: I'm trying to find a way to define a prop for Child
, but pass a value (or do something else) such that Child
still pulls that prop's value from Child
's own getDefaultProps()
.
You were close with your idea. It turns out that passing undefined
for a prop is the same as not including it at all, which will still trigger the default prop value. So you could do something like this:
var parent = React.createClass({
propTypes: {
editable: React.PropTypes.bool.isRequired,
editableOpts: React.PropTypes.shape({...})
},
render: function() {
return <Child
editable={this.props.editable ?
this.props.editableOpts :
undefined}
/>;
}
});
Define props
variable:
let props = {};
if (this.props.editable){
props.editable = this.props.editable;
}
And then use it in JSX:
<Child {...props} />
Here is a solution in your code:
var parent = React.createClass({
propTypes: {
editable: React.PropTypes.bool.isRequired,
editableOpts: React.PropTypes.shape({...})
},
render: function() {
let props = {};
if (this.props.editable){
props.editable = this.props.editable;
}
return (
<Child {...props} />
);
}
});
Source, React documentation: https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/jsx-in-depth.html#spread-attributes
Add a spread operator to the this.props.editable
:
<Child {...(this.props.editable ? {editable: {this.props.editableOpts}} : undefined)} >
should works.
Actually, if your prop is boolean it isn't needed to implement condition but if you wanna add prop by inline condition you should write like below:
const { editable, editableOpts } = this.props;
return (
<Child {...(editable && { editable: editableOpts } )} />
);
Hope it doesn't confuse you. the {...
means it is spread operator like passing existed props: {...props}
and the editable &&
means if editable
is true
the { editable: editableOpts }
object will make and with {...
we will make a new object like it: {...{ editable: editableOpts }}
that it means editable={editableOpts}
but if this.porps.editable
is true.
const CleaningItem = ({ disabled = false }) => (
<View
style={[styles.container, disabled && styles.disabled]}
pointerEvents={disabled ? 'none' : 'auto'}
>
<Button
disabled={disabled || null}
title="SELECT"
/>
</View>
);
