Upon clicking the star, I want to update the state of nested object, with the new rating value of star.
I tried many things but it didnt work as states are immutable.
Nested State
Can some upon please suggest how can I update the value in nested object
onStarClicked = (kTypName, subItemId1, newRating) => {
//console.log(subItemId.split("_"));
let evaluation = subItemId1.split("_")[0];
let subItemId = subItemId1.split("_")[1];
console.log(subItemId);
const r = { ...this.state.ratings };
let kT = r.knowledgeTypes;
let sub = '', kTN = '', kIN = '';
kT.map(knowledgeType => {
//console.log(knowledgeType.knowledgeTypeId);
knowledgeType.knowledgeItems.map(knowledgeItem => {
//console.log(knowledgeItem.knowledgeItemId);
knowledgeItem.subItems.map(knowledgeSubItem => {
//console.log(knowledgeSubItem.subItemId);
if (subItemId === knowledgeSubItem.subItemId) {
kTN = knowledgeType.knowledgeTypeName;
kIN = knowledgeItem.knowledgeItemName;
sub = knowledgeSubItem;
if (evaluation === "self") {
sub.evaluation.self.rating = newRating;
}
else if (evaluation === "evaluator") {
sub.evaluation.evaluator.rating = newRating;
}
//alert(evaluation + subItemId + ' ' + newRating);
//return;
}
})
})
});
this.setState({
...this.state,
ratings: {
...this.state.ratings,
knowledgeTypes: [
...this.state.ratings.knowledgeTypes,
this.state.ratings.knowledgeTypes.filter(kt => kt.knowledgeTypeName !== kTN),
{
...this.state.ratings.knowledgeTypes.knowledgeItems.
filter(ki => ki.knowledgeItemName !== kIN),
knowledgeItems: {
...this.state.ratings.knowledgeTypes.knowledgeItems.subItems.
filter(si => si.subItemId !== subItemId),
sub
}
}]
}
});
}
You basically have to create a new empty array of knowledgeTypes and use the current state to find which item of the state you need to change using Object.keys/map/filter functions.
You'd use the current state in a variable and modify that variable only. You'd likely not mess with the actual state object in any way.
After you have done that, simply append it to the empty array. Then you can setState() the new array to the actual state property.
class MyComponent extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
financialYear: "2019-20",
quarter: "Q1",
isCurrentQuarter: true,
knowledgeTypes: [
{
knowledgeTypeName: "Technology",
knowledgeItems: [
{
knowledgeItemName: "Java",
subItems: [
{
subItemId: "2",
subItemName: "Collections",
evaluation: {
self: {
ntnet: "Joe",
rating: 1,
isEditable: true
}
}
}
]
}
]
}
]
};
}
handleClick = e => {
const { knowledgeTypes } = this.state;
// transformation
const itemToChange = knowledgeTypes.map(item => {
if (item.knowledgeTypeName === "Technology") {
return item;
}
});
const currItems = itemToChange[0].knowledgeItems[0].subItems;
const subItem = currItems.map(item => {
if (item.subItemId === "2") {
return item;
}
});
const person = subItem[0].evaluation;
person.self.rating = 55; //change
const newKnowledgeTypes = [];
knowledgeTypes.map(item => {
if (item.knowledgeTypeName === "Technology") {
newKnowledgeTypes.push(itemToChange);
}
newKnowledgeTypes.push(item);
});
this.setState({
knowledgeTypes: newKnowledgeTypes
});
console.log(this.state);
};
render() {
return (
<div>
MyComponent
<button onClick={this.handleClick}>Hello</button>
</div>
);
}
}

Note: It is advisable you do not use nested state objects because state objects are something more lightweight so that they do not have performance considerations.

I have written the following infinite scroll component in React:

And I use it like this in a chat app I am writing:
...
<BlSimpleInfiniteScroll items={chat.messages}
ref={this.infiniteScrollComponentRef}
initialId={() => lastOfArray(chat.messages).id}
itemRenderer={(id, i) => this.messageRenderer(id, i, chat.messages)}
loadingComponent={<BlLoadingSpinnerContainer />}
isInfiniteLoading={isChatLoading}
displayInverse
infiniteLoadBeginEdgeOffset={void 0}
infiniteLoadingBeginBottomOffset={void 0}
onInfiniteLoad={() => this.props.onLoadPreviousChatMessages(chat.id)}
onInfiniteScrollMouseEnter={this.handleInfiniteScrollMouseEnter}
onInfiniteScrollMouseLeave={this.handleInfiniteScrollMouseLeave} />
...
The problem is that as soon as I scroll until the thresold and onInfiniteLoad is called, before the loading spinner is showed and after the data has been loaded the scroll freezes and the component becomes unresponsive.
How can I resolve this issue?
When I render the spinner container and after the previous loaded messages, shouldn't React just append the new divs retaining the previously added items in order to maintain the component performant?
If not, what key concepts of React I am missing?
Thank you for your attention!

I tried to remove all the irrelevant code to simplify the reading. Also here is the file which contains the chatSelector function (normalizes the chat array-able object) and the *ArrayAble* functions (an array-able object to me is basically an object which maps objects through their ids in items and has an order property which keeps the sort):
import { isUndefined, unshiftArray, findIndex } from "../utils";
export function chatSelector(chat, currentUser) {
const newChat = { ...chat }
newChat.messages = arrayAbleItemsOrderToArray(chat.messages).sort((a, b) => {
const sortByUnixTs = a.sent_unix_ts - b.sent_unix_ts
if (sortByUnixTs == 0) {
return a.id - b.id
}
return sortByUnixTs
})
newChat.users = arrayAbleItemsOrderToArray(chat.users).filter(user => user.id != currentUser.id)
return newChat
}
/**
* Given an array-able object, returns its array representation using an order property.
* This function acts as a selector function.
*
* The array-able object MUST have the following shape:
*
* {

* }
*
* Where "items" is the object containing the elements of the array mapped by values found in "order"
* in order.

UPDATE: Thanks to Sultan H. it has improved, though the scroll still blocks as soon as I get the reply from the server. See it here: https://streamable.com/3nzu0
Any idea on how to improve this behaviour further?
Thanks!
Here is an attempt to resolve the performance issue, it's not preferrable to do tasks inside the Arrow Function that calculates the new state, in this case, at loadPreviousChatMessages you are calculating stuff in the callback, which may yeild to a load while setting the state on that context.
Preferrable Changes, replace this.setState inside your function with this code, all I've done here is clear the context by moving all the tasks out:
const chat = this.state.chats.items[chatId];
const messages = arrayToArrayAbleItemsOrder(json.messages);
const newChat = {
...chat,
messages: mergeArrayAbles(messages, chat.messages);
}
const chats = mergeArrayAbles(prevState.chats, newArrayAble(newChat));
const newState = {
...(
makeChatIdCurrent ?
{
currentChatId: chatId,
focusSendMessageTextarea: true,
}
:
{
currentChatId: this.state.currentChatId,
}
),
chats,
isCurrentChatLoading: false,
};
this.setState(() => newState);
If that doesn't entirely solve the issue, can you tell if there was at least an improvment?
I want to call a form submit function after multiple tasks are completed.
The tasks can be completed in any order.
I tried solving it like this:
function callbackWhenCompleted(callback) {
let tasks = {
imageUploaded: false,
submitButtonClicked: false
};
function taskCompleted(taskName) {
tasks[taskName] = true;
if (Object.values(tasks).every(Boolean)) {
callback();
}
}
return taskCompleted;
}
class Form extends React.Component {
componentDidMount() {
this.taskCompleted = callbackWhenCompleted(this.submitForm);
}
imageUploaded = () => this.taskCompleted('imageUploaded');
submitButtonClicked = () => this.taskCompleted('submitButtonClicked');
submitForm = () => { /* */ }
render() { /* */ }
}
What are some better ways of solving this problem? Thanks!
You can store imageUploaded and submitButtonClicked in your Form component state instead and check if both are true after you change one of them and call submitForm if that's the case.
Example
class Form extends React.Component {
state = {
imageUploaded: false,
submitButtonClicked: false
};
imageUploaded = () => {
this.setState({ imageUploaded: true }, this.checkIfComplete);
};
submitButtonClicked = () => {
this.setState({ submitButtonClicked: true }, this.checkIfComplete);
};
checkIfComplete = () => {
const { imageUploaded, submitButtonClicked } = this.state;
if (imageUploaded && submitButtonClicked) {
this.submitForm();
}
};
submitForm = () => {
// ...
};
render() {
// ...
}
}
I can get a static elapsed seconds to display based on the pulled start time but I can't get the elapsed seconds to then continue counting. I know I probably shouldn't be using the props to update a state in the child but even without that I couldn't get it to work and tried that as a workaround. Any help is appreciated.
Parent looks like this:
class Parent extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
elapsedSeconds: -1
};
this.changeElapsedSecondsParent = this.changeElapsedSecondsParent.bind(this);
}
changeElapsedSecondsParent(newElapsed) {
this.setState({
elapsedSeconds: newElapsed
});
}
render() {
const { elapsedSeconds } = this.state;
return (
<div>
<Stopwatch
elapsedSeconds={elapsedSeconds}
changeElapsed={this.changeElapsedSecondsParent}
/>
</div>
);
}
}
Child stopwatch looks like this:
const formattedSeconds = (sec) =>
~~(sec / 60) +
':' +
('0' + sec % 60).slice(-2)
export class Stopwatch extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
secondsElapsed: -1,
laps: [],
lastClearedIncrementer: null
};
this.incrementer = null;
this.handleStartClick = this.handleStartClick.bind(this);
this.handleStopClick = this.handleStopClick.bind(this);
this.handleResetClick = this.handleResetClick.bind(this);
this.handleLapClick = this.handleLapClick.bind(this);
}
componentDidMount() {
if(this.state.secondsElapsed < 0) {
const getElapsedTime = async () => {
try{
const response = await fetch(`api url`);
if(response.ok){
let jsonResponse = await response.json();
/* start getting seconds elapsed since start */
let currentServerTime = new Date(jsonResponse[0].currentTimeStamp).getTime() /1000;
let currentD = Math.floor(new Date().getTime()/1000);
let deltaDate = (currentServerTime-currentD);
let raceStartTime = new Date(jsonResponse[0].startTime).getTime()/1000 - deltaDate;
let secondsElapsedSinceStart = currentD - raceStartTime;
/* end getting seconds elapsed since start */
this.props.changeElapsed(secondsElapsedSinceStart);
}
}
catch(error){
console.log(error);
}
}
getElapsedTime();
let newElapsed = this.props.elapsedSeconds;
this.incrementer = setInterval( () =>
this.setState({
secondsElapsed: newElapsed + 1
})
, 1000);
} else {
this.incrementer = setInterval( () =>
this.setState({
secondsElapsed: this.state.secondsElapsed + 1
})
, 1000);
}
}
handleStartClick() {
/* start post request */
const pushTime = async () => {
try {
const response = await fetch('apiurl', {
method: 'POST',
body: JSON.stringify({"startTime": "'2018-08-26 16:57:09'"})
})
if(response.ok){
const jsonResponse = await response.json();
return jsonResponse;
}
throw new Error('Request failed!');
} catch(error) {
console.log(error);
}
}
pushTime();
}
handleStopClick() {
clearInterval(this.incrementer);
this.setState({
lastClearedIncrementer: this.incrementer
});
}
handleResetClick() {
clearInterval(this.incrementer);
this.setState({
secondsElapsed: 0,
laps: []
});
}
handleLapClick() {
this.setState({
laps: this.state.laps.concat([this.props.elapsedSeconds])
})
}
render() {
return (
<div className="stopwatch">
<h1 className="stopwatch-timer">{formattedSeconds(this.state.secondsElapsed)}</h1>
{(this.props.elapsedSeconds === 0 ||
this.incrementer === this.state.lastClearedIncrementer
? <Button className="start-btn" onClick={this.handleStartClick.bind(this)}>start</Button>
: <Button className="stop-btn" onClick={this.handleStopClick.bind(this)}>stop</Button>
)}
{(this.props.elapsedSeconds !== 0 &&
this.incrementer !== this.state.lastClearedIncrementer
? <Button onClick={this.handleLapClick.bind(this)}>lap</Button>
: null
)}
{(this.props.elapsedSeconds !== 0 &&
this.incrementer === this.state.lastClearedIncrementer
? <Button onClick={this.handleResetClick.bind(this)}>reset</Button>
: null
)}
<ul className="stopwatch-laps">
{ this.state.laps.map((lap, i) =>
<li className="stopwatch-lap"><strong>{i + 1}</strong>/ {formattedSeconds(lap)}</li>)
}
</ul>
</div>
);
}
}
const Button = (props) =>
<button type="button" {...props} className={"btn " + props.className } />;
I found it easier to define a constant in the constructor like:
this.deltaTime = null;
Then I created a changeDeltaTime function:
changeDeltaTime(newTime) {
this.deltaTime = newTime
}
lastly, I updated that deltaTime inside the promiseand after the response within the componentDidUpdate() lifecycle method.
await this.changeDeltaTime(deltaDate);
In render, I waited the promise to be resolved through a prop passed by parent
return !this.props.finishedGet ? <span>Waiting on fetch...</span> : (this.renderStopwatch(this.state.time))
This also involves the renderStopwatch function to be created but it basically just houses what should be created once the promise resolves.
I have following data structure:
const library = [
{
procedureName:'Build Foundations',
id:1,
tasks:[
{
taskName:'dig at least 1m deep', isCompleted:false, procedureId:1
},
{
taskName:'At least 50m wide digging', isCompleted:false, procedureId:1
},
{
taskName:'Buy megazords', isCompleted:false, procedureId:1
}
]
},
{
procedureName:'Building the roof',
id:2,
tasks:[
{
taskName:'Constructed according to the project', isCompleted:false, procedureId:2
},
{
taskName:'Protect wood from humidity', isCompleted:false, procedureId:2
},
{
taskName:'Roof build with the correct angle', isCompleted:false, procedureId:2
}
]
}
]
I want my function onTaskToggle to setState of library.tasks.isCompleted like this: library.tasks.isCompleted: !library.tasks.isCompleted
(I want to be able to distinguish the click of certain item as well)
I have no idea how get to this state.
Should I build my data structure differently or is there something I am missing?
onTaskToggle = (task) => {
const findProcedure = library => library.filter(procedure => procedure.id === task.procedureId);
const findTask = tasks => tasks.filter(singleTask => singleTask.taskName === task.taskName);
const toggledTask = findTask(findProcedure(this.state.library)[0].tasks);
const procedureIndex = this.state.library.indexOf(findProcedure(this.state.library)[0]);
const toggledTaskIndex = this.state.library[procedureIndex].tasks.indexOf(toggledTask[0]);
const insideProcedure = this.state.library[procedureIndex];
const insideTask = this.state.library[procedureIndex].tasks.indexOf(toggledTask[0]);
this.setState({
// Stuck there ...library
})
}
I'm not sure if it is needed, but that's the way I'm passing the data:
// Main component
class App extends Component {
constructor(props){
super(props);
this.state = {
projects,
library,
}
}
onTaskToggle = (task) => {
const findProcedure = library => library.filter(procedure => procedure.id === task.procedureId);
const findTask = tasks => tasks.filter(singleTask => singleTask.taskName === task.taskName);
const toggledTask = findTask(findProcedure(this.state.library)[0].tasks);
const procedureIndex = this.state.library.indexOf(findProcedure(this.state.library)[0]);
const toggledTaskIndex = this.state.library[procedureIndex].tasks.indexOf(toggledTask[0]);
const insideProcedure = this.state.library[procedureIndex];
const insideTask = this.state.library[procedureIndex].tasks.indexOf(toggledTask[0]);
this.setState({
// ...library
})
}
render() {
const {projects, library} = this.state;
return (
<div>
<Procedures library={library} onTaskToggle={this.onTaskToggle}/>
</div>
);
}
}
export default class Procedures extends Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
};
}
render() {
return (
<div>
{
<ProceduresList library={this.props.library} onTaskToggle={this.props.onTaskToggle}/>
}
</div>
);
}
}
//Mapping through procedures
const ProceduresList = props => {
const list = props.library.map(procedure => {
const { id, procedureName, tasks } = procedure;
return(
<div key={id}>
<h4>{procedureName} </h4>
<div><ListingTasks tasks={tasks} onTaskToggle={props.onTaskToggle}/></div>
</div>
)
})
return <div>{list}</div>
}
export default ProceduresList;
// Last Component where all the magic shall happen
const ListingTasks = (props) => {
const list = props.tasks.map(task => { // under this line goes mapping through procedures
const taskName = task.taskName;
return <div key={taskName} onClick={() => props.onTaskToggle(task)}>{taskName}</div>
})
return <div>{list}</div>
}
export default ListingTasks
onTaskToggle(task) {
const { library } = this.state
const procedure = Object.assign({}, library.find(proc => (proc.id === task.procedureId)))
const procedureIndex = library.findIndex(prec => prec.id === procedure.id)
procedure.tasks = procedure.tasks.map((tsk) => {
if (tsk.taskName === task.taskName) {
tsk.isCompleted = !tsk.isCompleted
}
return tsk;
})
library.splice(procedureIndex, 1, procedure)
this.setState({ library })
}
