Conditional styling in SolidJS

Question

I have a Component in SolidJS that looks something like this:

const MyComponent: Component = (params) => {
  // ...
  const [votes, setVotes] = createSignal(new Set());
  const toggle = (val: string) => {
    if (votes().has(val)) {
      let _votes = votes();
      _votes.delete(val);
      setVotes(_votes);
    } else {
      let _votes = votes();
      _votes.add(val);
      setVotes(_votes);
    }
  }

  return <>
    <For each={someArray()}>{(opt, i) =>
      <button 
        style={{
          color: `${ votes().has(opt) ? "blue" : "black"}`
        }} 
        onClick={() => { toggle(opt) } }
      >
        {opt()}
      </button>
    }</For>
  </>
}

What I want to happen, is that the styling of the button will change, based on wheter it (opt in the for loop) is present in the votes set.

However, this code does not work. It doesn't update when the votes are updated.

The votes variable does update as expected.

When I give the votes set an initial value, the correct style is displayed (but it isn't updated afterwards).

Is there any solution to make this work?

Answer 1

There is a reactive Set primitive in @solid-primitives/set that you can directly use as state without createSignal. This might simplify things for you.
