Open Bootstrap modal on Griddle customComponent click


I successfully use export default React.createClass to handle a Boostrap Modal and a Griddle table.

Now I want to open the Modal when a user clicks on a specific column of Griddle. This is done by using a custom component that handles the click code/event. But since the custom component is defined as a new different class var editData = React.createClass I cannot access the state of the main class to open the modal.

How should I proceed? Here down the code, I DO NOT KNOW is the part I'm missing.

Thanks Karl

var editData = React.createClass({
    render: function() {
        return (
            <div onClick={I DO NOT KNOW}> 
                Edit row data for id {this.props.rowData.id}
            </div>
        )
    }
})

var columns = ["id", "name", "edit"]

var columnMeta = [{
    columnName: "edit",
    customComponent: editData
}]

export default React.createClass({

    close() {this.setState({ showModal: false })},

    open() {this.setState({ showModal: true })},    

    render() {
        return (<div>
        <Modal show={this.state.showModal} onHide={this.close}>
        <Modal.Header closeButton>
        <Modal.Title>Modal heading</Modal.Title>
        </Modal.Header>
        <Modal.Body>
        Text in a modal
        </Modal.Body>
        <Modal.Footer>

        <Griddle columns={columns} columnMetadata={columnMeta} />
        </div>)
    }

})

Solution

  • Solved by passing a function in the props. Here down what I've done.

    var editData = React.createClass({
    
        handleChange(){
            this.props.metadata.onChange("your value here")
        },
    
        render: function() {
            return (
                <div onClick={this.handleChange}> 
                    Edit row data for id {this.props.rowData.id}
                </div>
            )
        }
    })
    
    var columns = ["id", "name", "edit"]
    
    export default React.createClass({
    
        handleChange(e){
            console.log(e)
        },
    
        close() {this.setState({ showModal: false })},
    
        open() {this.setState({ showModal: true })},    
    
        render() {
    
            var columnMeta = [{
                columnName: "edit",
                customComponent: editData,
                onChange: this.handleChange
            }]
    
            return (<div>
            <Griddle columns={columns} columnMetadata={columnMeta} />
            </div>)
        }
    
    })
