I am trying to create a reusable carousel using react-bootstrap, i could create that one"
const ReusableCarousel = (props) => {
return (
<Carousel className="mt-4 border">
{props.items.map((item, index) => {
return (
<Carousel.Item key={index}>
<Row>
{props.children}
</Row>
</Carousel.Item>
);
})}
</Carousel>
);
}
Now as you see it is reusable till the point of the carousel item, props.children
may represent multiple elements per one slide or single element per slide, but i can not achieve that according to my logic
in the parent:
<ReusableCarousel items={categories}> //categories is an array of arrays of objects
{
//item prop should be passed here to carouselItemCategories component
//but i couldn't find a way to achieve that
<CarouselItemCategories key={i} />
}
</ReusableCarousel>
carouselItemCategories Component:
const CarouselItemCategories = (props) => {
//still in my dreams
const { item } = props;
return (
<>
{
item.map((c, index) => {
return (
<Col key={index}>
//a category card here
</Col>
);
})
}
</>
);
}
Now i know what makes it work, it is about passing item prop(which represent an array of objects represents fraction of my categories) but i could not find any way to achieve that
you can imagine categories like that:
const categories = [
[
{
title: 'Laptops',
background: 'red'
},
{
title: 'Tablets',
background: 'blue';
}
],
[
{
title: 'Mouses',
background: 'yellow'
},
{
title: 'Printers',
background: 'orange';
}
]
]
If I understand you correctly, you want to use each of the items
from your ReusableCarousel
to generate a new CarouselItemCategories
with the individual item passed in as a prop?
If so, you may want to take a look at the cloneElement
function. Effectively, inside your mapping of the items
prop, you would create a clone of your child element, and attach the individual item
as a prop to that clone. Something like this:
const ReusableCarousel = (props) => {
return (
<Carousel className="mt-4 border">
{props.items.map((item, index) => {
return (
<Carousel.Item key={index}>
<Row>
{React.cloneElement(props.children, { item })}
</Row>
</Carousel.Item>
);
})}
</Carousel>
);
}
