Navigate from one LWC to another LWC - salesforce

I have two lightning web components and I have to navigate from one LWC to another LWC on button click. 
I tried navigation service to apply the NavigationMixin function in the component’s base class to extends NavigationMixin(LightningElement). but it didn't work.
Can please anyone help me?
Thank you.

You can't (yet).
List of all interesting PageReference types says you're supposed to use standard__component but the target can't be pure LWC. At best it has to be hidden inside an Aura wrapper.
A Lightning component. To make an addressable Lightning web component,
embed it in an Aura component that implements the
lightning:isUrlAddressable interface.
It's a pain. I suspect that's also reason why we can't make quick actions with LWC yet, they'd have to be wrapped in Aura.
Click the link in the quote, it'll lead you to example how to pass parameters (/lightning/cmp/c__helloTarget?c__firstname=John)

I have had the similar issues . I have been trying to navigate to an LWC from another in a community and it looks like :
In communities, only comm__namedPage page-reference will work.

In Salesforce LWC app, you can navigate from one LWC component to another (which is on another tab/apppage) with the following code
myComponent.html
<a href="javascript:void(0);" tabindex="0" onclick={navigateNext}>Click Here</a>
myComponent.js
import { NavigationMixin } from 'lightning/navigation';
import { CurrentPageReference } from 'lightning/navigation';
export default class MyComponent extends NavigationMixin(LightningElement){
#wire(CurrentPageReference) pageRef;
#api tabName = "NextPage";
navigateNext() {
console.log("tabName = ", this.tabName)
this[NavigationMixin.Navigate]
({
type: 'standard__navItemPage',
attributes: {
apiName: this.tabName
}
});
}
}
Please replace the tabName variable with the apppage/tab name you are supposed to navigate.
That's it. You will be navigated to the tabName specified when you click the button in html
You can also go through the official documentation for more : https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/component-library/documentation/en/lwc/lwc.use_navigate_basic

In LWC Application, We can do it in either of the following ways:
1. Using Container Component
Create a parent LWC component that will be containing both the lwc components and showing one of the components at a time.
On clicking of the button, dispatch a custom event to navigate between the components.
On receiving the custom event in the container component, hide the visible component and show another.
2. Making use of LWC routes.
For information on lwc routes follow the below link.

React don't mount component until needed but don't unmount afterwards in list of components

Say I am building an instant messaging with app with React (I'm not doing that exactly, but this is easier to explain). I have a sidebar with a list of conversations and, when you click one, it is shown on the right (similar to this). I don't want to mount each conversation component until the user clicks it, but I don't want to unmount it, just hide it, when they click on another conversation. How can I do this cleanly? There will never be more than about 30 chats for any user.
You can store the enabled conversations in an array that you use to show, and when you disable a conversation you can just add a hidden prop to it which you pass to the conversation and make it return null. This will make it not render anything but will not unmount it since you have not removed it from the array that handles the display of conversations.
example at: https://codesandbox.io/s/wispy-forest-59bqj
This is a bit hard to answer since you haven't posted the code.
But, theoretically, the best way to approach this problem is to transfer the data from your sidebar component and load it onto the right component on a per-user basis. You don't have to mount each "conversation component".
You can do this by with the boolean hidden property in your markup. React will render as usual and simply pass it along to the html, the browser will then simply not paint it.
const HideMe = ({ isHidden }) => (
<div hidden={isHidden}>
can you see me?
</div>
)
I made an example for you:

How do I use custom Javascript in Next js

Coming from React, i am really confused. In pages/index.js, suppose I have a button with onClick listener, and clicking on that button will log "you clicked" in the console. How do i implement this? I want that page to be statically generated and also give that button some functionality.
The reason I am having a lot of trouble is because in React tutorials or even in my projects, if i needed some functionality i'd do this:
function handleClick() {
document.body.style.background = "black"
console.log("you clicked") //nothing is logged in console
}
export default function App() {
return(
<button onClick{() => handleClick}>Click Me</button>
)
}
I was gonna use this Next.js to see how state works. But I encountered a different problem. Unless I use inline function in onClick, it doesnt work. If I use a seperate handleClick function, the DOM doens't even show that I had an onclick event. I learned that's because Nextjs is rendered server side, so it doesnt have access to DOM and console etc. Then how do i do this?
I just transitioned from React, and in every tutorial, those guys would use handleClick func or whatever to handle events and stuff. But I couldnt find a solution to do this in Next, how does everyone handle this then? Because pages have interactive buttons right? Are those pages not statically generated then?
You forgot call function handleClick:
<button onClick{() => handleClick()}></button>
the same way you do it in react with your onClick function
Static generation pre-rendering does not change the interactivity of any page, check the following from Next.js documentation :
Each generated HTML is associated with minimal JavaScript code
necessary for that page. When a page is loaded by the browser, its
JavaScript code runs and makes the page fully interactive. (This
process is called hydration.)

How can I trigger a click on an element inside a child component (that I don't have access to)?

I have installed react-file-base64 into my React JS project and have implemented it like so:
import FileBase64 from 'react-file-base64';
import FileUpload from '../../forms/FileUpload'
...
class MyComponent extends Component {
render() {
return (
<FileUpload buttonText='Upload New Image'>
<FileBase64
multiple={ false }
onDone={ this.changeProfileImage }
/>
</FileUpload>
)
}
}
The code is obviously condensed for brevity.
As you can see, I've wrapped the FileBase64 component inside a custom FileUpload component - to do the old JS/CSS trick of hiding the file upload and triggering it via a different button press.
Given that I do not have direct access to edit the FileBase64 component, since it's been installed by NPM (and will possibly be updated by it in the future), and given that it is not a direct input element but rather a custom component that renders one - how can I trigger a click on the input element rendered by the FileBase64 component, from inside my FileUpload component?
You have a few options.
Reconsider using react-file-base64
This is a pretty minor NPM module, so ask yourself: is it worth using a few dozen lines of someone else's code instead of writing the functionality myself? Open source is amazing and leveraging other people's work can be a lifesaver, but learn to recognize when to lean on it and when not to.
Fork react-file-base64
Fork the original project and add whatever functionality you need to meet your requirements. Ideally do it in a well-written, well-documented way so that you can later open a pull request and contribute back to the project in a meaningful way.
Hack it a bit
It's good to stay inside of React as much as possible, but there are ways around it. You can, for example, still select DOM elements using plain old JavaScript. Remember that stuff? ;P
This would probably work fine - wrap the <FileBase64 /> component in a <div> that you can use to select any nested child <input> elements.
class MyComponent extends Component {
...
onBtnClick() {
this.inputWrapper.getElementsByTagName("input")[0].click();
}
render() {
return (
<FileUpload buttonText='Upload New Image' callback={this.onBtnClick} >
<div ref={(el) => this.inputWrapper = el} >
<FileBase64
multiple={ false }
onDone={ this.changeProfileImage }
/>
</div>
</FileUpload>
)
}
}
I dunno how exactly you're handling <FileUpload /> click callbacks but you get the idea. After a component renders, its DOM elements are laid bare for you to access. The trick is figuring out how to select those elements in the first place, and being careful that you don't break React in the process. But selecting an element and triggering a "click" event is pretty benign.
There are several triggers for this component that maybe suits your needs. Some of them are:
beforeUpload: Triggered before uploading. return true to continue or false to stop uploading.
doUpload: Triggered after the request is sent(xhr send | form submit).
onabort:riggered after you aborting a xhr.
uploadSuccess: Callback when upload succeed (according to the AJAX simply).
If you see the plugin documentation you can be how they work in detail, as well as more different events to interact with your input element inside your FileUpload component.

How to import a component or file in React using variables?

I'm building a web app using React that shows the blueprint for the building you select, in an already selected campus.
I have a "Content" component that loads the campus or building map, depending what you chose.
The "BuildingMap" component needs to load a specific blueprint according to what building you selected. It gets the props.building with the name of the building but I don't know how to load a component using that variable.
I have tried import, fetch and require but nothing seems to work.
Please help.
My code looks something like this:
//Content Component
<BuildingMap building={selectedBuilding} campus={selectedCampus} />
//BuildingMap Component
import *MyBlueprint* from (specific folder depending on the campus selected)
class BuildingMap extends React.Component {
render(){
return (
<div className="blueprint" id={this.props.building}>
{*MyBlueprint*}
</div>
)
}
}
Unfortunately, you cannot import/require components dynamically in React environment.
Depending on how many buildings/blueprints there are, it's possible to import them one by one, create component-building map and pick component by building ID.
If there are many/infinite components to load, I would surely pick another method - don't know content of your problem.
import BlueprintA from './BlueprintA'
import BlueprintB from './BlueprintB'
import BlueprintC from './BlueprintC'
// ...
class BuildingMap extends React.Component {
render(){
const C = {
buildingA: BlueprintA,
buildingB: BlueprintB,
buildingC: BlueprintC,
// ...
}[this.props.building]
return (
<div className="blueprint" id={this.props.building}>
<C />
</div>
)
}
}
This question is pretty old but as I was looking for how to solve the same problem let me give my answer. It can be done with dynamic import React.lazy:
const OtherComponent = React.lazy(() => import('./OtherComponent'));
See more details here: https://reactjs.org/docs/code-splitting.html#reactlazy
To add to #Andreyco's answer:
Using a lookup table of string IDs/names to component classes is a typical React idiom. One common use case is a modal manager component that can render multiple different types of modals. For some examples, see Dan Abramov's answer at "How can I render a modal dialog in Redux?" (not Redux-specific), as well as some of the related articles in the React Component Patterns#Modal Dialogs and Redux Techniques#UI sections of my React/Redux links list.
Per #azium's comment: it is definitely possible to use dynamic importing (via require.ensure() or the new import() function) to load chunks at runtime, and you could add the exports from those dynamically imported chunks into a lookup table when they are loaded.

React Component: Foundation Modal (Reveal) won't open

So I've just started learning React and Redux, so I apologize if this is a very noobish question. But I've emptied my Google quote, and can't find anything that helps me.
My problem is: I work on a site with React, Redux, and Foundation 6. One of my React components have a link, that when clicked, should open a Modal with a specific warning for that link. So I've created a component with my modal markup:
ComponentModal.js:
import React, { PropTypes } from 'react';
const Modal = () => (
<div className="reveal" id="exampleModal1" data-reveal>
<h1>Awesome. I Have It.</h1>
</div>
);
export default Modal;
The component with a link renders some stuff, but basically have a
<a data-open="exampleModal1">Click me for a modal</a>
tag in it's render.
And although inspecting the page confirms that the markup for the modal exists, nothing happens when i click the link.
If I move the popup from the component, and into the DOM, the link works.
Some trial and error shows me, that if i manually run $(document).foundation(); in the console when ComponentModal is rendered, the popup works as intended.
So my question is kinda two questions:
1. How do I, in Redux, run $(document).foundation(); when my ComponentModal is done rendering? Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't have the componentDidMount() method available to me, where it might make sense to make that call?
2. Is this a totally wrong way to go about it?
Hope it's not too confusing and not too dumb a question :)
FYI, this question/solution has nothing to do with REDUX!
The problem is that you're trying to use React AND Jquery to make your page do cool things.
You should really choose one or the other.
$(document).foundation() is a Jquery library.
Instead you should use something like React Foundation which removes the jquery dependency and gives you foundation components built with react.
You can do $(document).foundation() in React inside componentDidMount of the component that has the reval modal or better yet You can do this inside componentDidMount of the top most partent in your app.
componentDidMount in React runs once after all the DOM nodes related to that component is mounted. What $(document).foundation() does, if it runs inside componentDidMount, is that it binds event handlers on the elements that have foundation realated attributes like data-dropdown or data-reveal.
componentDidMount() {
$(document).foundation();
}
