How would one convert the class component to a functional one?
import React, { Component } from 'react'
class Test extends Component {
state = {
value: "test text",
isInEditMode: false
}
changeEditMode = () => {
this.setState({
isInEditMode: this.state.isInEditMode
});
};
updateComponentValue = () => {
this.setState({
isInEditMode: false,
value: this.refs.theThexInput.value
})
}
renderEditView = () => {
return (
<div>
<input type="text" defaultValue={this.state.value} ref="theThexInput" />
<button onClick={this.changeEditMode}>X</button>
<button onClick={this.updateComponentValue}>OK</button>
</div>
);
};
renderDefaultView = () => {
return (
<div onDoubleClick={this.changeEditMode}
{this.state.value}>
</div>
};
render() {
return this.state.isInEditMode ?
this.renderEditView() :
this.renderDefaultView()
}}
export default Test;
I assume one needs to use hooks and destructioning, but not sure how to implement it. Is there a good guidline or best practice to follow?
I gave a brief explanation of what is going on:
const Test = () => {
// Use state to store value of text input.
const [value, setValue] = React.useState("test text" /* initial value */);
// Use state to store whether component is in edit mode or not.
const [editMode, setEditMode] = React.useState(false /* initial value */);
// Create function to handle toggling edit mode.
// useCallback will only generate a new function when setEditMode changes
const toggleEditMode = React.useCallback(() => {
// toggle value using setEditMode (provided by useState)
setEditMode(currentValue => !currentValue);
}, [
setEditMode
] /* <- dependency array - determines when function recreated */);
// Create function to handle change of textbox value.
// useCallback will only generate a new function when setValue changes
const updateValue = React.useCallback(
e => {
// set new value using setValue (provided by useState)
setValue(e.target.value);
},
[setValue] /* <- dependency array - determines when function recreated */
);
// NOTE: All hooks must run all the time a hook cannot come after an early return condition.
// i.e. In this component all hooks must be before the editMode if condition.
// This is because hooks rely on the order of execution to work and if you are removing
// and adding hooks in subsequent renders (which react can't track fully) then you will
// get warnings / errors.
// Do edit mode render
if (editMode) {
return (
// I changed the component to controlled can be left as uncontrolled if prefered.
<input
type="text"
autoFocus
value={value}
onChange={updateValue}
onBlur={toggleEditMode}
/>
);
}
// Do non-edit mode render.
return <div onDoubleClick={toggleEditMode}>{value}</div>;
};
and here is a runnable example
