I have a react component called <Currency /> that takes a currency and value.
So if I did <Currency value={10} currency={"USD"}/> it would return <span>$10.00</span>
I am then using this in a separate component.
if (amount < limit){
let value = <Currency value={this.state.depositLimit} currency={this.state.currency} />;
return this.setState({
error:`Minimum limit is ${value}`
});
}
This renders Minimum deposit is [object Object] on the screen.
Does anyone know how I can just show the content of the component i.e. $10.00
I would avoid using JSX outside of a render function. Additionally, avoid putting too much information in your component state. I suggest storing the nature of the error, not necessarily the error message itself.
this.setState({
minDepositError: true,
});
Instead, use the render function to spell out the error message.
if (this.state.minDepositError) {
return (
<div>
<span>Minimum limit is </span>
<Currency
currency={this.state.currency}
value={this.state.depositLimit}
/>
</div>
);
}
ReactServer renderToString is what you want.
ReactDOMServer.renderToString(value)

i'm creating a simple react website that's supposed to do some calculations and find out Joules of my input values after the calculations...right now the input values are already preset but i will remove the value="" from my <input> later.
here is the .JSX component file that's the issue...one of the components.
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import Atom_icon from './cartridges.png';
class Joule_calc extends Component {
render(){
return (
<div className='Joule_div'>
<h3 style={{color:"white", textAlign:"center"}}>JOULE CALCULATOR</h3>
<label className='lab1'>WEIGHT=/GRAMS</label><br></br>
<input className='weight_inp' type='text' value="2" />
<label className='lab2'>SPEED=M/S</label><br></br>
<input className='speed_inp' type='text' value="5" />
<button className='count_button' onClick={this.Create_response}>CALCULATE</button>
<h1 className='Result_joule'></h1>
</div>
)
}
Create_response(){
console.log("creating response...")
let sum = document.createElement("h1")
sum.className = 'Result_joule'
sum.textContent = "678"
let div_panel = document.getElementsByClassName("Joule_div")
div_panel.append('Result_joule')
}
Returned_values(){
let weight_val = document.getElementsByClassName("weight_inp")[0].value;
let speed_val = document.getElementsByClassName("speed_inp")[0].value;
let final_calculation = weight_val * speed_val
return final_calculation
}
}
export default Joule_calc
so when i run my code i get
Uncaught TypeError: div_panel.append is not a function
at Create_response (Joule_calc_window.jsx:31:1)
i don't get why i can't append my new element to the div. it says it's not a function so what's the solution then? i'm new to React and web so probably it's just a noobie thing.
also i tried directly creating a h1 inside the 'Joule_div' like this.
<h1 className='Result_joule'>{"((try returning here from one of these methods))"}</h1>
but that of course failed as well. So would appreciate some help to get what's going on. i'm trying to add a number after the button click that's in h1 and in future going to be a returned number after calculating together the input values in a method.i imagine that something like
MyMethod(){
value = values calculated
return value
}
and later grab it with this.MyMethod
example
<h1>{this.MyMethod}</h1>
this is a example that of course didn't work otherwise i wouldn't be here but at least gives you a clue on what i'm trying to do.
Thank you.
You don't leverage the full power of react. You can write UI with only js world thanks to JSX. State changes triggering UI update.
I may miss some specificaiton, but fundamental code goes like the below. You should start with function component.
// Function component
const Joule_calc = () =>{
// React hooks, useState
const [weight, setWeight] = useState(0)
const [speed, setSpeed] = useState(0)
const [result,setResult] = useState(0)
const handleCalculate = () =>{
setResult(weight*speed)
}
return (
<div className="Joule_div">
<h3 style={{ color: 'white', textAlign: 'center' }}>JOULE CALCULATOR</h3>
<label className="lab1">WEIGHT=/GRAMS</label>
<br></br>
<input className="weight_inp" type="text" value={weight} onChange={(e)=>setWeight(parseFloat(e.target.value))} />
<label className="lab2">SPEED=M/S</label>
<br></br>
<input className="speed_inp" type="text" value={speed} onChange={(e)=>setSpeed(parseFloat(e.target.value))} />
<button className="count_button" onClick={handleCalculate}>
CALCULATE
</button>
<h1 className='Result_joule'>{result}</h1>
</div>
)
}
export default Joule_calc;
div_panel is an collection of array which contains the classname ["Joule_div"]. so first access that value by using indexing . and you should append a node only and your node is "sum" not 'Result_joule' and you should not use textcontent attribute because you will be gonna definitely change the value of your result as user's input value
Create_response(){
console.log("creating response...")
let sum = document.createElement("h1")
sum.className = 'Result_joule'
//sum.textContent = "678"
let div_panel = document.getElementsByClassName("Joule_div")
div_panel[0].append('sum')
}

I was learning React and I came to a point which created confusion. Everywhere I was using props while writing Function components.
I always use props.profile and it works fine. But in one code component, I had to write
const profiles=props; and it worked fine.
I tried using const profiles=props.profile; and also I tried using inside return in 'Card' function component
{props.profile.avatar_url} but both of them failed
Below is my code which works fine
const Card=(props)=>{
const profiles=props; //This I dont understand
return(
<div>
<div>
<img src={profiles.avatar_url} width="75px" alt="profile pic"/>
</div>
<div>
<div>{profiles.name}</div>
<div>{profiles.company}</div>
</div>
</div>
);
}
const CardList=(props)=>{
return(
<div>
{testDataArr.map(profile=><Card {...profile}/>)}
</div>
);
}
Can someone please help me understand why I can't use const profiles=props.profile?
What are the other ways to achieve the correct result?
Your testDataArr might be this,
testDataArr = [{avatar_url:"",name:"",company:""},{avatar_url:"",name:"",company:""},{avatar_url:"",name:"",company:""}]
Now when you do this,
{testDataArr.map(profile=><Card {...profile}/>)}
here profile = {avatar_url:"",name:"",company:""},
and when you do,
<Card {...profile}/>
is equivalent to,
<Card avatar_url="" name="" company=""/>
In child component, when you do this,
const profiles=props;
here props = {avatar_url:"",name:"",company:""}
So you can access it's values,
props.avatar_url
props.name
props.company
But when you do this,
const profiles=props.profile
profile key is not present in {avatar_url:"",name:"",company:""} object and it fails.
OK. Here is the issue, the props object does not contain a profile attribute, but IT IS the profile attribute. Becouse you are spreading the profile variable when you render the Card element (in the CardList), you basically are writing:
<Card avatarUrl={profile.avatarUrl} comapny={profile.comany} />
Instead, you should do
<Card profile={profile} />
and then in your Card component access the data this way
const Card = (props) => {
const profile = props.profile
}
or even simpler
const Card = ({profile}) => {
return <div>{profile.comany}</div>
}
I don't understand how elements are created in React.
I have some code below where the goal is to create elements on a form submit using a value from a refs - so for every submit in a form, it creates a new <h1> tag with the content of the textbox inside of it. A sample of what I'm trying to do looks like:
...
addHeader(e) {
e.preventDefault();
const newHeader = this.refs.post.value;
var newpost = React.createElement("h1", {
type: "text",
value: newHeader
});
}
...
render() {
return (
<div className="form-section">
{ newPost }
<form onSubmit={this.addHeader.bind(this)}>
<input id="input-post" type="text" placeholder="Post Here" ref="post" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
<button className="form-section__submit" onClick={this.clearFields.bind(this)}>Clear All</button>
</div>
);
}
Basically my thinking is in my addHeader() function I'm assigning a variable of newPost to the method and calling it within my component. This code is causing 2 errors:
33:9 warning 'newpost' is assigned a value but never used no-unused-vars
49:13 error 'newPost' is not defined no-undef
What I don't understand, is (from what I can see) I am assigning a value to that variable and also using it in the component that I am rendering... along with that, I don't understand this error message. How can something be assigned a value but be undefined at the same time...? Is it because it's in the wrong scope? How do I declare where the new element is rendered specifically in the component?
I read the documentation but it doesn't give a clear answer as to how to control where in the component the new element is rendered.
Made some changes to your code. You're going to want to initialize component state in your constructor. In your addHeader method you will use this.setState to update the state of the component with a new posts value including the value of this.input. I changed your ref on the input an actual ref. You take the element and store on this. Every time you add a new post you will get a new <h1> with the value of the textarea.
...
addHeader(e) {
e.preventDefault();
this.setState((prevState, props) => {
return { posts: [ ...prevState.posts, this.input.value ] };
});
}
...
render() {
const { posts } = this.state;
return (
<div className="form-section">
{ posts.map( text => <h1>{ text }</h1> ) }
<form onSubmit={this.addHeader.bind(this)}>
<input id="input-post" type="text" placeholder="Post Here" ref={ el => this.input = ref } />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
<button className="form-section__submit" onClick={this.clearFields.bind(this)}>Clear All</button>
</div>
);
}
As an aside: Binding functions in the render method of react components will cause a performance hit. There is no need to re-bind the this context of the function on every render. this.clearFields.bind(this) should become this.clearFields and you will need to add this.clearFields = this.clearFields.bind(this) to your constructor. You do not need to bind functions that are not used as callbacks.
You're going to want to do the same thing for this.addHeader.bind(this).
In My application i have a template file with 2 fields(say name1 / name2).
Based on one parameter("preference") in the route i want to display either Recipe1 or Recipe2 on the screen.
For eg: if preference is veg, i should display Recipe1 else Recipe2.
i tried this as below but it did not work.
export default Ember.Route.extend({
beforeModel(){
if (preference==='veg'){
console.log("Inside Veg..");
Ember.$("#Recipe2").attr("type","hidden");
}
else {
console.log("Inside Non Veg..");
Ember.$("#Recipe1").attr("type","hidden");
}
What i see is that it goes inside the if/else loop but the ember.$ statements dont make any difference.Please help.
First of all you should not write Ember.$ inside beforeModel hook. that's wrong. When beforeModel hook called, DOM will not be ready. I prefer you to create component and pass preference property to component and have if check to display it in hbs
Create my-receipe component and include it in template.hbs
{{my-receipe preference=preference }}
my-receipe.hbs
{{#if isVeg}}
<input type="text" id="Recipe1" />
{{else}}
<input type="text" id="Recipe2" />
{{/if}}
my-receipe.js
Create isVeg computed property which will return true if the preference is veg.
export default Ember.Component.extend({
isVeg: Ember.computed('preference', function() {
return Ember.isEqual(this.get('preference'), 'veg');
})
})
I have been trying to get this to work for a while now and not sure how to do the following. My form component has children that contain regular html markup as well a inputs. If the child is a Input I want to add the attachToForm and detachFromForm functions. If it is not an input I want to continue traversing the children to make sure that the element does not have a child input field. Wether or not the element is an input I still want it to appear on my page, I just want to add the functions to the inputs.
The problem is I can only get my function to return only the inputs, removing the labels and title. I know that is because Im only adding elements with inputs to newChildren, but if I push the other elements in the else if section I get duplicates and i can think of another way of doing this. Im not sure if im not understanding basic JS or having a brain gap.
React.Children.forEach(children, function(child) {
var current = child;
if (child.props && child.props.name) {
this.newChildren.push(React.cloneElement(child, {
detachFromForm: this.detachFromForm,
attachToForm: this.attachToForm,
key: child.props.name
}));
} else if (child.props && child.props.children){
this.newChildren.push(child);
this.registerInputs(child.props.children);
} else {
*need to keep track of parent elements and elements that do not have inputs
}
}.bind(this));
Edit: Not sure if needed but this is and example form im traversing
return (
<Modal className="_common-edit-team-settings" title={`Edit ${this.props.team.name}`} isOpen={this.props.modalIsOpen && this.props.editTeamModal} onCancel={this.props.toggleEditTeamModal} backdropClosesModal>
<Form onSubmit={this.saveChanges}>
<FormSection className="edit-team-details" sectionHeader="Team Details">
<FormField label="Name">
<Input name="name" value={this.state.values.name} onChange={this.handleInputChange} type="text" placeholder={this.props.team.name}/>
</FormField>
<FormField label="Mission">
<Input name="mission" value={this.state.values.mission} onChange={this.handleInputChange} type="text" placeholder={this.props.team.kitMission || 'Kit Mission'} multiline />
</FormField>
</FormSection>
<FormSection className="privacy-settings" sectionHeader="Privacy Settings">
<FormField label="Included in global search results" >
<SlideToggle name="globalSearch" defaultChecked={this.state.values.globalSearch} onChange={this.handleCheckedChange} type="checkbox" />
</FormField>
<FormField label="Accessible by anyone" >
<SlideToggle name="public" defaultChecked={this.state.values.public} onChange={this.handleCheckedChange} type="checkbox" />
</FormField>
<FormField label="Secured with WitCrypt" >
<SlideToggle name="witcryptSecured" defaultChecked={this.state.values.witcryptSecured} onChange={this.handleCheckedChange} type="checkbox" />
</FormField>
</FormSection>
<FormSection sectionHeader="Participants">
{participantsList}
<div id="add-participant" className="participant" onClick={this.toggleAddParticipantModal}>
<span className="participant-avatar" style={{backgroundImage:'url(/img/blue_add.svg)'}}></span>
<span>Add a Participant</span>
<span className="add-action roll"><a></a></span>
</div>
</FormSection>
<Button type="hollow-primary" size="md" className="single-modal-btn" block submit>Save</Button>
</Form>
<AddParticipant people={this.props.people} toggleAddParticipantModal={this.props.toggleAddParticipantModal} modalIsOpen={this.props.modalIsOpen} toggleAddParticipantModal={this.toggleAddParticipantModal} addParticipantModal={this.state.addParticipantModal} />
</Modal>
);
As an aside I started out a lot simpler wanting to do the following but get:
"Can't add property attachToForm, object is not extensible"
If anyone knows why please let me know.
registerInputs: function (children) {
React.Children.forEach(children, function (child) {
if (child.props.name) {
child.props.attachToForm = this.attachToForm;
child.props.detachFromForm = this.detachFromForm;
}
if (child.props.children) {
this.registerInputs(child.props.children);
}
}.bind(this));
}
Judging of an error message, you have a problem with immutable prop object. Starting from React 0.14 the prop is "frozen":
The props object is now frozen, so mutating props after creating a component element is no longer supported. In most cases, React.cloneElement should be used instead. This change makes your components easier to reason about and enables the compiler optimizations mentioned above.
Blog post on this
So somewhere in your code you try to extend a prop object causing an error.
You could wrap different parts of your prop interactions with try..catch construction which will point you the exact problem place.
