im facing this weird behavior when trying to update the parent component with an set function to the child with props
this hook is to open and close the modal to edit an element
//PARENT FILE
//hook
const [isEditModalOpen, setEditModalOpen] = useState(false)
//more code...
//modal
{isEditModalOpen && <EditExcerciseModal setEditModalOpen={setEditModalOpen} isEditModalOpen={isEditModalOpen} />}
and this is the child code
//CHILD FILE
export const EditExcerciseModal = ({setEditModalOpen, excerciseInfo,fetchExcercisesFromRoutine})
//more code etc etc
<div className="addExcerciseModalContainer">
<span onClick={() =>{ setEditModalOpen(false) }} className="xModal">X</span>
i checked and the onClick is working. if i change the parent state manually the Modal works fine and closes.
the weird case when it its working is when instead of calling the set function i create a function with a setTimeout without time like this:
function closeModal(){
setTimeout(() => { setEditModalOpen(false)}, 0);
}
any ideas?
thanks for the help
You need to create a separation of concern. A Modal consists of three parts
The Modal of its Self.
The Content of the Modal.
And the container of the two.
You should be using the useState() hook and calling setEditModalOpen in the same containing component.
You need to make sure that you're declaring and setting state inside the same component.
// children would be the content of the modal
const Modal = ({ children, selector, open, setOpen }) => {
// we need the useEffect hook so that when we change open to false
// the modal component will re-render and the portal will not be created
useEffect(() => {
setOpen(false);
//provide useEffect hook with clean up.
return () => setOpen(true);
}, [selector]);
return open ? createPortal(children, selector) : null;
};
export const EditExerciseModal = ({ close }) => {
return (
<div>
{/* Instead of creating a handler inside this component we can create it in it's parent element */}
<span onClick={close}>X</span>
{/* Content */}
</div>
);
};
export const ModalBtn = () => {
const [isEditModalOpen, setEditModalOpen] = useState(false);
// this is where it all comes together,
// our button element will keep track of the isEditModalOpen variable,
// which in turn will update both child elements
// when true useEffect hook will re-render Modal Component only now it "will" createPortal()
// when our EditExerciseModal alls close it will set change the isEditModalOpen to false
// which will be passed to the Modal component which
// will then cause the component to re-render and not call createPortal()
return (
<>
<button onClick={() => setEditModalOpen(true)}>EditExerciseModal</button>
{setEditModalOpen && (
<Modal
open={isEditModalOpen}
setOpen={setEditModalOpen}
selector={'#portal'}>
<div className='overlay'>
<EditExerciseModal close={() => setEditModalOpen(false)} />
</div>
</Modal>
)}
</>
);
};

The problem is...
The first popup renders fine.
But when I try to render the second popup, it's not working.
A new popup is not invoked, the previous popup is refreshed.
I want to call a new popup when I clicked a cell in the grid.
my code is like this
const Main = () => {
const [isPopupOpen, setIsPopupOpen] = useState(false);
return (
<>
... other components (including grid)
{ isPopupOpen && <Popup />}
</>
)
};
when Grid is Clicked, 'isPopupOpen' is updated to true.
I use 'react-new-window' library, and this library use 'window.open()' ((https://github.com/rmariuzzo/react-new-window)
so I set different window names to call several popups.
but I can't solve the problem.
I try to set a state object that has a boolean value.
const [popupObj, setPopupObj] = useState({});
when the grid is clicked, popupObj updates like
{'cellA': true, 'cellD': true}
and a return statement is like
{popupObj[cellName] && <Popup /> }
but the result was the same.
what should I do to solve this problem?
I wrote an example for you. Hope it helps.
use popupIds state to store the popups that you want to open
use Set to toggle the popupIds in the addPopup click handler
import * as React from "react";
export default function App() {
const [popupIds, setPopupIds] = React.useState([]);
const addPopup = (popupId) => {
const set = new Set(popupIds);
if (set.has(popupId)) {
set.delete(popupId);
} else {
set.add(popupId);
}
setPopupIds(Array.from(set));
};
return (
<div className="App">
{["hello", "react"].map((popupId) => (
<div onClick={() => addPopup(popupId)}>{popupId}</div>
))}
{popupIds.map((popupId) => (
<Popup title={getPopupTitle(popupId)} />
))}
</div>
);
}
const getPopupTitle = (popupId) => `title for ${popupId}`;
const Popup = ({ title }) => <div>{title}</div>;
Here is a codesandbox that you can play with directly.
You need to add your popup in an array, so you can render many popup as you want, then you need to define in How much time you will remove a added popup from array or add a close button
Extra: you can configure in global state to access in all your application to your popups and you will have a component like this: https://www.npmjs.com/package/notistack
Generally, i would pass setVisFalse as a prop to Modal and then define a button inside Modal component that calls it, but i want to make Modal dynamic such that, instead of a button it could be anything (another component) defining the onClick event listener.
The following code works fine, but i want to know is it correct approach?
const Parent = () => {
const [vis, setVis] = useState(false);
return (
<>
{vis && (
<Modal> // generally, i pass here a setVisFalse as a prop.
<h1>Hello Modal</h1>
<button onCLick={setVisFalse}>Close Modal</button> // directly defining onCLick here only.
</Modal>
)}
</>
);
};
export default class Modal extends React.Component {
render() { // instead of definig a button here,
return <div className="modal">{this.props.children}</div> it should be already inside children
}
}
You obviously want to pass the boolean to the the vis state so the way you are doing it won't achieve that
You need to do this instead
const Parent = () => {
const [vis, setVis] = useState(false);
const setVisState = () => {
setVis(value => !value);
}
return (
<>
{vis && (
<Modal> // generally, i pass here a setVisFalse as a prop.
<h1>Hello Modal</h1>
<button onCLick={setVisState }>Close Modal</button> // directly defining onCLick here only.
</Modal>
)}
</>
);
};
use useContext API .
pros - can be used in any nested level of children.
Inside a Component, I have a Modal from which the user can do an update to some data through an API and then change the state of that main Component. Because there is a change in state, everything will re-render.
I would like to keep the modal open, so that I can show a success message.
The code would be something like this.
const Main = () => {
const [state, setState()] = useState();
return (
<Component state={state}>
<Modal onButtonClick={() => {
updateThroughApi().then(() => setState())} />
</Component>
)
}
When user clicks on modal's button, the state changes, and Component is re-rendered. Modal is rendered too, as it's inside.
I have thought of two possible solutions:
Move the modal outside of the component. This is a problem, as my actual code is not as simple as the example I posted. In my code, the modal opens on the click of a button B, which is deep inside Component. So, if I move the modal out from Component, I would have to pass the status and the action to change status (e.g. [open, setOpen]) through several components until button B (prop drilling).
Another solution: On the action onButtonClick I just do the API update, and use a new state updated = true; then, onModalClose, only if updated is true, I run setState so Component is rendered just after the modal is closed. But this solution seems a hack to me. There must be a better way.
Is there any better solution?
Something is obviously going very wrong here, the Modal should not close. As a workaround you could do something like this:
const Main = () => {
const [state, setState()] = useState();
const modal = useMemo(() => (
<Modal onButtonClick={() => {
updateThroughApi().then(() => setState())} />
), [])
return (
<Component state={state}>{modal}</Component>
)
}
Your Modal is re-rendering because your function passed as onButtonClick is redefined at every render.
So you have 2 options here:
1/ Keep your Modal inside your Component and use useMemo
import { useMemo } from 'react'
const Main = () => {
const [state, setState] = useState();
const modal = useMemo(() => (
<Modal onButtonClick={() => (
updateThroughApi().then(() => setState())
)}
/>
), [])
return (
<Component state={state}>
{modal}
</Component>
)
}
Or 2/ Move your Modal outside your component and use combination of memo and useCallback
import { memo, useCallback } from 'react'
const Main = () => {
const [state, setState] = useState();
const onButtonClick = useCallback(() => updateThroughApi().then(() => setState()), []);
return (
<Component state={state}>
<Modal onButtonClick={onButtonClick} />
</Component>
)
}
const Modal = memo(({onButtonClick}) => {
})
So in this case, at every render, memo will compare if all Modal props are === from previous render, which is now the case, because memoization of onButtonClick with useCallback, and so your Modal component will not re-render

I have a modal that is completely self contained. The modal is opened via going to the modal route and all the functionality to close the modal from button or outside clicks is within the modal component. Basically the modal is not controlled by any parent passing state. I was given a task of making the modals button customizable, meaning passing in a new button component, so we can add the modal to our lib instead of copy pasting the code in projects. Lol this seemed simple enough, and maybe it is and I am just overthinking this.
I cant paste the actual code but I can use a contrived example. This is a very simplified version of the modal, keeping in mind it opens via route so there's really no state and setState in the actual code. Also here is a fiddle
const ModalHeader = ({ onClose }) => {
return (
<div className="modal__header">
<button
className="modal__close-btn"
data-testid="modal-close-button"
onClick={onClose}
/>
</div>
);
};
const Modal = ({ children }) => {
const [state, setState] = React.useState(true);
const handleCloseOutsideClick = () => {
setState(false);
};
const handleCloseButtonClick = () => {
setState(false);
};
const renderModal = () => {
return (
<div className="modal-overlay" onClick={handleCloseOutsideClick}>
<div className="modal">
<ModalHeader onClose={handleCloseButtonClick} />
{children}
</div>
</div>
);
};
return state ? renderModal() : null;
};
const App = () => {
return (
<Modal>
<div>Modal Children</div>
</Modal>
);
};
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.querySelector('#app'));
I tried a few things, initially I attempted to find a way to pass in a new header component containing a button. Then as I got into the code I realized what I was doing would lose the self contained functionality of the modal. My approach was along the lines of below but obviously the onClick would be an issue since invoking the close functionality is internal.
So I tried using cloneElement to add props within the component if the custom header was detected:
// inside modal component
React.useEffect(() => {
React.Children.map(children, (child: React.ReactElement) => {
if (child && child.type === ModalHeader) {
setHederFound(true);
}
});
}, []);
// inside modal render:
<div className={modalClasses} onClick={stopPropagation}>
{!headerFound ? (
<ModalDefaultHeader onClose={handleCloseButtonClick} />
) : (
React.Children.map(children, (child: React.ReactElement) => {
if (child && child.type === ModalHeader) {
return React.cloneElement(child, {
onClose: handleCloseButtonClick,
});
}
})
)}
{children}
</div>;
Obviously that did not work because there's no onClick in the custom button. Anyways I am thinking that I am over complicating this. I just need a way to pass in a custom button while leaving the functionality internal to the modal. Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
I am trying to add react bootstrap modal in my application. In one file am dropping the Modal and trying to send the param to the modal class.
Example:
Class1 : I have this inside my render function.
<MyModal openModal={true}/>
I am trying to send the prop from here which will open the modal.
In my Modal class, I have below code:
const MyModal = (props) => {
const [open, showModal] = useState(props.openModal);
const handleClose = () => showModal(false);
return (
<Modal show={open} onHide={handleClose} >
//rest of the modal data
</Modal>
);
};
export default MyModal;
My prop is always showing the updated value coming from class 1. But Modal class is not getting rendered as per the update props. After closing the modal for 1st time, it remain close until I refresh my screen.
My using https://react-bootstrap.github.io/components/modal/ modal link for refrence.
Thanks in advance for help.
You are missing the hook to update the component when it receive the updated props.
You need to include useEffect() hook in your code. It will re-render the component with updated props. You MyModal class will look like below code.
const MyModal = (props) => {
const [open, showModal] = useState(props.openModal);
useEffect(() => {
showModal(props.openModal);
}, [props]);
const handleClose = () => showModal(false);
return (
<Modal show={open} onHide={handleClose} >
//rest of the modal data
</Modal>
);
};
export default MyModal;
