React/gatsby with Lottie animation bottlenecks the DOM - reactjs

I have a weird issue with Lottie animations in React/Gatsby. I've tried many plugins like react-lottie, lottie-react, lottie-web etc. They all start bottlenecking the dom while navigating back and forth pages.
I've made an example with the issue: https://elegant-aryabhata-490c95.netlify.app/
If you navigate between the pages Go to page 2 and Go back to the homepage soon enough the DOM stops and the animation starts rendering extra stuff as well.
I am rendering the animations like so:
import * as React from "react"
import { Link } from "gatsby"
import Layout from "../components/layout"
import SEO from "../components/seo"
import Lottie from "lottie-react"
import contactAnimation from "../components/assets/contact.json"
const SecondPage = () => (
<Layout>
<SEO title="Page two" />
<h1>Hi from the second page</h1>
<p>Welcome to page 2</p>
<Link to="/">Go back to the homepage</Link>
<Lottie animationData={contactAnimation} style={{ width: "600px" }} />
</Layout>
)
export default SecondPage
It looks like a memory leak or something but have no idea how to debug this.

Well, I sorted it out myself, turns out it is a memory leak and happens if some of the Lottie animations us a 'repeater'
Solved it by stringify the JSON: const contactAnimation = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(data))
So full code becomes:
import * as React from "react"
import { Link } from "gatsby"
import Layout from "../components/layout"
import SEO from "../components/seo"
import Lottie from "lottie-react"
import data from "../components/assets/contact.json"
const SecondPage = () => {
const contactAnimation = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(data))
return (
<Layout>
<SEO title="Page two" />
<h1>Hi from the second page</h1>
<p>Welcome to page 2</p>
<Link to="/">Go back to the homepage</Link>
<Lottie animationData={contactAnimation} style={{ width: "600px" }} />
</Layout>
)
}
export default SecondPage

how to use react routing to switch between pages

i am currently building a shopping website . i finished the homepage and i have to make routing for other pages
i have 3 main files: App.js, Menuitem.js (which is to execute props), and Homepage.js (which also is used to apply executing props from sections array which includes titles and background images and sections paths)
this is the App js
import React from "react";
import Homepage from './Homepage'
import "./styles.css";
import './Homepage.css'
import {Route, Switch} from "react-router-dom";
const Hatspage=function() {
return(
<div>
<h1>
Hats page
</h1>
</div>
)
}
function App() {
return (
<div>
<Switch>
<Route exact path='/'component={Homepage}/>
<Route path='/hats'component={Hatspage}/>
</Switch>
</div>
);
}
export default App
Menuitem.js
import React from 'react'
import {WithRouter} from 'react'
const Menuitem= function(props){
return(
<div className='card' style={{ backgroundImage: `url(${props.imageUrl})` }} >
<div className='text-frame'>
<h1 className='title'>{props.title}</h1>
<p className='subtitle'>shop now</p>
</div>
</div>
)
}
export default Menuitem
Homepage.js
import React from "react";
import sections from './directory-components';
import Menuitem from "./menu-item-components";
const arrayOne=[sections.slice(0,3)]
const arrayTwo=[sections.slice(3,)]
function extract(item){
return(
<Menuitem
title={item.title} imageUrl={item.imageUrl}/>
)
}
function Homepage(){
return(
<div className='directory-menu'>
<div className='content'>
{sections.slice(0,3).map(extract) }
</div>
<div className='second'>
{sections.slice(3,).map(extract) }
</div>
</div>
)
}
export default Homepage
so i need for example when i click on hats picture i switch to hats page . how to do that
image attached
Thanks in advance
reactjs routing
You can do two different approaches. Both of them will require an extra prop that will be the actual url you want to access when clicking the menu item.
Assuming you modify your section array to look like this:
[{title: 'Your title', imageUrl: 'your-image.jpg', linkUrl: '/hats'}]
And you modify your extract function to add the url value as a prop in the MenuItem component:
function extract(item){
return(
<Menuitem
title={item.title} imageUrl={item.imageUrl} linkUrl={item.linkUrl} />
)
}
You can do this
First one: Using a Link component from react router:
import React from "react";
import { Link } from "react-router-dom";
const Menuitem= function(props){
return(
<Link to={props.linkUrl}>
<div className='card' style={{ backgroundImage: `url(${props.imageUrl})`
}} >
<div className='text-frame'>
<h1 className='title'>{props.title}</h1>
<p className='subtitle'>shop now</p>
</div>
</div>
</Link>
)
}
Now you will have to add extra styling because that will add a regular a tag, but I like this approach because for example you can open the link in a new tab since it is a regular link.
Using the history prop.
import React from "react";
import { useHistory } from "react-router-dom";
const Menuitem= function(props){
const history = useHistory()
const goToPage = () => history.push(props.linkUrl)
return(
<div className='card' style={{ backgroundImage: `url(${props.imageUrl})`
}} onClick={goToPage} >
<div className='text-frame'>
<h1 className='title'>{props.title}</h1>
<p className='subtitle'>shop now</p>
</div>
</div>
)
}
This approach is a basic on click so if you press the component it will go to the selected page, this will work but keep in mind that event bubbling will be harder if you add more on clicks inside the menu item, so please be aware of that.
You should fire an event inside your MenuItem in order to redirect the user
import { useHistory } from 'react-router-dom'
const history = useHistory()
<img onClick={() => history.push('/hats')} />

How to direct to a new page when a button is clicked using ReactJS?

I am working in React.I have created a button ,which on click should lead the user to the newpage.I made a component About and imported it as well.
I created a function routeChange which would direct to a new page on Clicking the button.But when the button is clicked I am not being directed to any page .
Instead I get an error.
Probably there is not any error with folders.
I imported my About Component as:
import React from 'react';
import {Navbar,NavbarBrand, Jumbotron, Button} from 'reactstrap';
import './App.css';
import Description from './Description';
import './description.css';
import {useHistory,withRouter} from "react-router-dom";
import About from './About';
function App() {
const history=useHistory();
routeChange = () =>{
this.history.push('/About');
}
return (
<withRouter>
<Navbar color="dark">
<div className="container">
<NavbarBrand className="navbar-brand abs" href="/">
Cheat Sheet
</NavbarBrand>
</div>
</Navbar>
<Jumbotron>
<p className="lead">Quick Review ,Revision And Mnemonic Are Always Good</p>
<hr my-2/>
<p className="lead">Page is still under Construction</p>
<Button onClick={routeChange} className="About"color="primary">About Us</Button>
</Jumbotron>
<div className="img-thumbnail">
<Description/>
</div>
<div className="footer">

<p>Follow<a rel="noopener noreferrer"href="https://www.quora.com/profile/Abhilekh-Gautam-1" target="_blank">Abhilekh Gautam</a> On quora</p>
</div>
</withRouter>
)
}
export default App;
a couple issues here.
change function App (){} to const App = () => {} its going to help with your binding later because arrow functions are interpreted differently from declarative functions
this function needs some help
routeChange = () =>{
this.history.push('/About');
}
first of all you have to declare the function as a constant because App is a functional component not a class component.
second of all because App is a functional component you don't need the this keyword because routeChange is an arrow function and is bound to App
your final function should look like this:
const routeChange = () => {
history.push('/About');
}
make your button onClick handler an anonymous function so it is called on click only and not on render
<Button onClick={routeChange}/>
this code makes the route change function get called when the button renders. Instead change it to
<Button onClick={() => routeChange()}
make sure /About is a route to another component in your router or else you will get a 404 error or hit your no match component (if you have one)
your final product should look something like this
in app.js
import React from 'react';
import {Navbar,NavbarBrand, Jumbotron, Button} from 'reactstrap';
import './App.css';
import Description from './Description';
import './description.css';
import {useHistory,withRouter, BrowserRouter, Route, Switch} from "react-router-dom";
import About from './About';
function App() {
return (
<>
<Navbar color="dark">
<div className="container">
<NavbarBrand className="navbar-brand abs" href="/">
Cheat Sheet
</NavbarBrand>
</div>
</Navbar>
<BrowserRouter>
<Switch>
<Route exact path='/' component={Home}/>
<Route exact path='/About' component={About}
</Switch>
</BrowserRouter>
</>
)
}
then your home component would look like this:
import {useHistory} from 'react-router-dom'
const Home = () => {
const history = useHistory();
const routeChange = () => {
history.push('/About');
}
return (
<>
<Jumbotron>
<p className="lead">Quick Review ,Revision And Mnemonic Are Always Good</p>
<hr my-2/>
<p className="lead">Page is still under Construction</p>
<Button onClick={() => routeChange()} className="About"color="primary">About Us</Button>
</Jumbotron>
<div className="img-thumbnail">
<Description/>
</div>
<div className="footer">

}

Pages are reloaded instead of routed in shopify next js app

I followed Shopify's guide, until the end of 4th step, to develop a Next JS app and I've setup two pages (embedded app navigation), Home and Page1.
Now, when I click to open both pages, the app is doing a reload instead of routing...
You can see here the flickering issue - https://youtu.be/45RvYgxC7C0
Any help on this would be very appreciated.
_app.js
import React from "react";
import App from "next/app";
import Head from "next/head";
import { AppProvider } from "#shopify/polaris";
import { Provider } from "#shopify/app-bridge-react";
import Cookies from "js-cookie";
import "#shopify/polaris/dist/styles.css";
import "../css/styles.css";
import lang from "#shopify/polaris/locales/en.json";
export default class MyApp extends App {
render() {
const { Component, pageProps } = this.props;
const config = { apiKey: API_KEY, shopOrigin: Cookies.get("shopOrigin"), forceRedirect: true };
return (
<React.Fragment>
<Head>
<title>My App</title>
<meta charSet="utf-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />
<link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico" />
</Head>
<Provider config={config}>
<AppProvider i18n={lang}>

</AppProvider>
</Provider>
</React.Fragment>
);
}
}

import React from "react";
import { Page, Layout, Card, FooterHelp, Link } from "#shopify/polaris";
export default function Home() {
return (
<Page title="Home">

}

import React from "react";
import { Page, Layout, Card, FooterHelp, Link } from "#shopify/polaris";
export default function Page1() {
return (
<Page title="Page1">
<Layout>

When using Shopify's app-bridge, it has a default behavior of navigating to a new route within the iframe that holds your app (and thus completely reloading the app), whereas React implements a client-side router.
Shopify doesn't provide a 100% plug-and-play solution for using client-side routing, but they do make it pretty easy with their ClientRouter component.
The examples on that page are for react-router, not Next.js's router, but the same idea applies to next/router.
For example, a simple router component could look like:
import {useEffect, useContext} from 'react';
import Router, { useRouter } from "next/router";
import { Context as AppBridgeContext } from "#shopify/app-bridge-react";
import { Redirect } from "#shopify/app-bridge/actions";
import { RoutePropagator as ShopifyRoutePropagator } from "#shopify/app-bridge-react";
const RoutePropagator = () => {
const router = useRouter();
const { route } = router;
const appBridge = React.useContext(AppBridgeContext);
// Subscribe to appBridge changes - captures appBridge urls
// and sends them to Next.js router. Use useEffect hook to
// load once when component mounted
useEffect(() => {
appBridge.subscribe(Redirect.Action.APP, ({ path }) => {
Router.push(path);
});
}, []);
return appBridge && route ? (
<ShopifyRoutePropagator location={route} app={appBridge} />
) : null;
}
export default RoutePropagator;
After creating that component, drop it in the _app.js file inside the Shopify routers, for example:
<Provider config={config}>
<AppProvider i18n={translations}>
<RoutePropagator />
<ApolloProvider client={client}>
// child components
</ApolloProvider>
</AppProvider>
</Provider>
When _app loads, it will now subscribe to changes from appBridge and let appBridge know to send a signal to the client rather than reload the entire iframe. If you apply any routing within the app, such as one page to another, it will also now update the browser's address bar.
Everything works correctly, you are loading the whole page every time you request a new nextjs page. In order to have parts of your layout persistent between page loads, you need to move them to the _app.js.
Take a look at the official dynamic app layout example.
If you want to load a sub-section of the page without reloading the whole page you can use a query in combination with shallow routing e.g example.com/settings and example.com/settings?section='profile'

Have a common header layout in nextjs

I have 2 pages user.js and nonuser.js and one component header. user.js and nonuser.js have same functionality with slight changes in UI. Now I want to integrate all this. Like when I visit the page by default table of user.js must be viewed. One click of nonuser.js it should change to the nonuser.js table. And I want header to be same for both, content in textbox should not change when I switch between pages.
I'm new to next.js and react
header.js
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import '../Header/header.css';
import { Menu, Input, Icon } from 'antd';
import Link from 'next/link';
class HeaderComponent extends Component {
render() {
return (
<div className="navbar">
<div className="header">
<div className="col-1">
<div className="menu">
<div>
<Link href="/User"><a>Users</a></Link>
</div>
<div>
<Link href="/nonUser"><a>Non Users</a></Link>
</div>
<Input className="text-box" placeholder="Enter name" prefix={<Icon type="search" ></Icon>}></Input>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
)
}
}
export default HeaderComponent
user.js
class User extends Component {
render() {
return (
<React.Fragment>
<div className="ant-table-row">
<div className="table-head-text">
<span className="text">Users({data.length})</span>
<Pagination defaultCurrent={1} total={100} />
</div>
<Table
rowKey={data._id}
columns={this.columns1}
rowSelection={this.rowSelection}
onExpand={this.onExpand}
dataSource={data} />
</div>
</React.Fragment>
)
}
I didn't add nonuser component, its same as user component
index.js
import Header from '../components/Header/header';
import Layout from '../components/Layout';
function App() {
return (
<Header/>
<div>
</div>
)
}
export default App;
I've done this, On first landing the only header is there and on clicking user link in header, header disappears and only table of user is shown.
EDIT:
I tried this header appears in both and I placed a textbox in header .textbox value clears when I switch between pages.
user.js and nonuser.js
render(){
return(
<Layout>
<div>.....</div>
</Layout>
)
}
Also tried
index.js
render() {
return (
<Layout>
<div>
</div>
</Layout>
)
}
layout.js
const Layout = ({children}) => (
<div>
<Header></Header>
{children}
</div>
);
From what I make of your question, you want to use HeaderComponent as a common header for both pages? Then I'd suggest placing it in your components/Layout file. Next will wrap all pages in the layout component, thus adding your header to all pages.
I'm also wondering why you have an index.js file? Unless it's placed in pages/ folder, it isn't something you normally do in Next. The pages user.js and nonuser.js should also be placed in the pages/ folder. Next will then automatically load the to files and provide them under the routes /user and /nonuser (based on the name of the file). This will also make Next wrap each page in the layout component mentioned above.
I'd suggest looking into NextJS learning guide. It provides a very good introduction to NextJS and will make it a lot easier to use NextJS if you. They have a lesson explaining how to use Shared Components which explains exactly what you seem to be looking for.
Hope this helps a bit.
Edit:
Example using _app.js
The following is an example of how to use a custom layout component in next using _app.js. It's based on Nexts own example.
// components/Layout.js
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import Header from './Header';
class Layout extends Component {
render () {
const { children } = this.props
return (
<div className='layout'>
<Header />
{children}
</div>
);
}
}
// pages/_app.js
import React from 'react';
import App from 'next/app';
import Layout from '../components/Layout';
export default class MyApp extends App {
render () {
const { Component, pageProps } = this.props
return (
<Layout>
<Component {...pageProps} />
</Layout>
)
}
}
To get more information on how to make use of _app.js properly, check out their documentation on custom app.

How do I pass a className to a image component in Gatsby

I am using gatsby-image and gatsby-source-filesytem I want the img tag (Logo component) when rendered as html to have a className of logo how do I go about doing this, gatsby-image docs say to pass it through props. I still don't quite understand react, so need help understanding here is my code.
logo.js
import React from "react"
import { StaticQuery, graphql } from "gatsby"
import Img from "gatsby-image"
/*
* This component is built using `gatsby-image` to automatically serve optimized
* images with lazy loading and reduced file sizes. The image is loaded using a
* `StaticQuery`, which allows us to load the image from directly within this
* component, rather than having to pass the image data down from pages.
*
* For more information, see the docs:
* - `gatsby-image`: https://gatsby.app/gatsby-image
* - `StaticQuery`: https://gatsby.app/staticquery
*/
const Image = () => (
<StaticQuery
query={graphql`
query {
placeholderImage: file(relativePath: { eq: "riel-type.png" }) {
childImageSharp {
fluid(maxWidth: 300) {
...GatsbyImageSharpFluid
}
}
}
}
`}
render={data => <Img fluid={data.placeholderImage.childImageSharp.fluid} />}
/>
)
export default Image
index.js
import React from "react"
import { Link } from "gatsby"
import Layout from "../components/layout"
import Image from "../components/image"
import Logo from "../components/logo"
import SEO from "../components/seo"
const IndexPage = () => (
<Layout>
<SEO title="Home" keywords={[`gatsby`, `application`, `react`]} />
<div className="row">
<div className="col-4">
<Logo />
</div>
</div>
</Layout>
)
export default IndexPage
gatsby-image docs say to pass it through props
Means that you can add any property you want inside the Img tag. Because of some internal restriction you have to use the JavaScript name attribute and not the HTML one (ie className instead of class)
So :
render={data => <Img fluid={data.placeholderImage.childImageSharp.fluid} className="logo" />}
