I am trying to embed React Components into Angular because I have written some react components only because it's using a React library. However, my main framework is still Angular12+.
I have this .tsx file src/app/my-react-component.tsx
import * as React from 'react';
export default function MyReact() {
return (
<div>
<h1>Hello My React Component!</h1>
</div>
);
}
and I want to import this from src/app/app.component.ts
import MyReact from './my-react-component';
Then, I see this error
Import error, can't find file:
./my-react-component
To try, I added "jsx": "react" to tsconfig.json, but did not work, a solution from https://codebyz.com/embedding-react-components-in-angular-the-easy-way/
This is stackblitz page, which you can see this error.
Anyone who has a victory on importing .tsx into Angular project?
I think you did everything right
specify jsx: react in tsconfig
create a wrapper with React rendering (with standalone directive it becomes much simpler btw)
It's just an error from Stackblitz because they have their own vision of typescript compilation.
Here is a link with the same code from Codesandbox
I am very new to react and having a bizarre problem. I have defined a stateless function and when i want to try to import it in my main component it is not loading the function. i am guessing there is a naming convention that i dont know of. npm start does not give any error so I am assuming the code is compiling ok.
My stateless component is below
import React from 'react';
const AppHeader = () => {
return(
<div class="jumbotron text-center">
<h1>Map Search</h1>
<p>Searching map for nearest matches from account</p>
</div>
);
}
export default AppHeader;
below does not work,
import React from 'react';
import './App.css';
import appHeader from './UI/appHeader';
class App extends React.Component {
render(){
return (
<div className="App">
<appHeader/>
</div>
);
}
}
export default App;
VS code lint says
appHeader is declared but its value is never used.
However below does work,
import React from 'react';
import './App.css';
import KKK from './UI/appHeader';
class App extends React.Component {
render(){
return (
<div className="App">
<KKK/>
</div>
);
}
}
export default App;
VS code lint does not show the error anymore also the app is working as expected. As you can see i only changed the name of the appHeader component to KKK. can someone point out what am i doing wrong and may be provide any documentation around this.
You need to capitalize appHeader to be AppHeader in order for React to understand that this is a custom component and not a built in html component. Components that start with lowercase are assumed to be built in HTML elements.
Check out this answer: ReactJS component names must begin with capital letters?
And from the React docs:
User-Defined Components Must Be Capitalized
When an element type starts with a lowercase letter, it refers to a built-in component like or and results in a string 'div' or 'span' passed to React.createElement. Types that start with a capital letter like compile to React.createElement(Foo) and correspond to a component defined or imported in your JavaScript file.
We recommend naming components with a capital letter. If you do have a component that starts with a lowercase letter, assign it to a capitalized variable before using it in JSX.
I'm trying to get familiar with react and web development. And made my first steps.
Right now I'm using react with react-bootstrap & css modules.
In the main.html I had to include the bootstrap.css file.
I would like to replace my searchbar with react-autosuggest
It seems like bootstrap is breaking the style of react-autosuggest. Is it possible to combine both? Or is it a bad practice?
That is my code where I tried to use both searchbars:
import React, {Component} from 'react';
import styles from './App.css';
import Search from "./Search/Search"
import SearchAuto from "./SearchAuto/SearchAuto"
class App extends Component {
render() {
return (
<div>
<div className={styles.App}>
<h1>Title</h1>
<Search onSearch={this.searchForAddress}/>
</div>
<SearchAuto onSearch={this.searchForAddress}/>
</div>
);
}
}
export default App;
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I'm totally new to react with the exception of a few tutorials on some basic things so I feel I've thrown myself into a bit of a deep end here.
I'm trying to use gridStack and found a nifty wrapper for it to use within React. I've managed to struggle through getting all the dependancies up and running but have now encountered an error which I can't resolve:
this.cellHeight is not a function(...). I've been looking around loads to try and understand why this isn't defined as I'm following their basic addition on their site found here.
I've had to modify it a bit to make it play nice as I've whittled down all the errors and found this to be the last one which I just can not get my head round. Any help would be amazingly appreciated.
import React from 'react';
import GridStack from 'gridstack';
import {GridStackItem} from 'react-gridstack';
class MyGrid extends React.Component{
render(){
return(
<GridStack cellHeight={50} vertical={10}>
<GridStackItem id='item_1' x={0} y={0} minHeight={2} minWidth={2}>
First Item
</GridStackItem>
<GridStackItem id='item_2' x={0} y={2}>
Second Item
</GridStackItem>
</GridStack>
);
}
}
export default MyGrid;
The component is then being applied through my App class
import React, {Component, PropTypes} from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import $ from 'jquery';
import Bootstrap from 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css';
import MyGrid from './gridstack.jsx';
window.$ = $;
class App extends React.Component {
render() {
return(
<div>
<p>Hello WORLD!!!!</p>
<MyGrid/>
</div>
)
}
}
ReactDOM.render(<App/>, document.getElementById('root'));
You can see that this is all basic first steps kind of stuff as I find my feet around React.
I'm playing around with React and ES6 using babel and webpack. I want to build several components in different files, import in a single file and bundle them up with webpack
Let's say I have a few components like this:
my-navbar.jsx
import React from 'react';
import Navbar from 'react-bootstrap/lib/Navbar';
export class MyNavbar extends React.Component {
render(){
return (
<Navbar className="navbar-dark" fluid>
...
</Navbar>
);
}
}
main-page.jsx
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import MyNavbar from './comp/my-navbar.jsx';
export class MyPage extends React.Component{
render(){
return(
<MyNavbar />
...
);
}
}
ReactDOM.render(
<MyPage />,
document.getElementById('container')
);
Using webpack and following their tutorial, I have main.js:
import MyPage from './main-page.jsx';
After building the project and running it, I get the following error in my browser console:
Error: Invariant Violation: Element type is invalid: expected a string (for built-in components) or a class/function (for composite components) but got: undefined. Check the render method of `MyPage`.
What am I doing wrong? How can I properly import and export my components?
Try defaulting the exports in your components:
import React from 'react';
import Navbar from 'react-bootstrap/lib/Navbar';
export default class MyNavbar extends React.Component {
render(){
return (
<Navbar className="navbar-dark" fluid>
...
</Navbar>
);
}
}
by using default you express that's going to be member in that module which would be imported if no specific member name is provided. You could also express you want to import the specific member called MyNavbar by doing so: import {MyNavbar} from './comp/my-navbar.jsx'; in this case, no default is needed
Wrapping components with braces if no default exports:
import {MyNavbar} from './comp/my-navbar.jsx';
or import multiple components from single module file
import {MyNavbar1, MyNavbar2} from './module';
To export a single component in ES6, you can use export default as follows:
class MyClass extends Component {
...
}
export default MyClass;
And now you use the following syntax to import that module:
import MyClass from './MyClass.react'
If you are looking to export multiple components from a single file the declaration would look something like this:
export class MyClass1 extends Component {
...
}
export class MyClass2 extends Component {
...
}
And now you can use the following syntax to import those files:
import {MyClass1, MyClass2} from './MyClass.react'
MDN has really nice documentation for all the new ways to import and export modules is ES 6 Import-MDN . A brief description of it in regards to your question you could've either:
Declared the component you were exporting as the 'default' component that this module was exporting:
export default class MyNavbar extends React.Component { , and so when Importing your 'MyNavbar' you DON'T have to put curly braces around it : import MyNavbar from './comp/my-navbar.jsx';.
Not putting curly braces around an import though is telling the document that this component was declared as an 'export default'. If it wasn't you'll get an error (as you did).
If you didn't want to declare your 'MyNavbar' as a default export when exporting it : export class MyNavbar extends React.Component { , then you would have to wrap your import of 'MyNavbar in curly braces:
import {MyNavbar} from './comp/my-navbar.jsx';
I think that since you only had one component in your './comp/my-navbar.jsx' file it's cool to make it the default export. If you'd had more components like MyNavbar1, MyNavbar2, MyNavbar3 then I wouldn't make either or them a default and to import selected components of a module when the module hasn't declared any one thing a default you can use: import {foo, bar} from "my-module"; where foo and bar are multiple members of your module.
Definitely read the MDN doc it has good examples for the syntax. Hopefully this helps with a little more of an explanation for anyone that's looking to toy with ES 6 and component import/exports in React.
I Hope this is Helpfull
Step 1: App.js is (main module) import the Login Module
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import './App.css';
import Login from './login/login';
class App extends Component {
render() {
return (
<Login />
);
}
}
export default App;
Step 2: Create Login Folder and create login.js file and customize your needs it automatically render to App.js Example Login.js
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import '../login/login.css';
class Login extends Component {
render() {
return (
<div className="App">
<header className="App-header">
<h1 className="App-title">Welcome to React</h1>
</header>
<p className="App-intro">
To get started, edit <code>src/App.js</code> and save to reload.
</p>
</div>
);
}
}
export default Login;
There are two different ways of importing components in react and the recommended way is component way
Library way(not recommended)
Component way(recommended)
PFB detail explanation
Library way of importing
import { Button } from 'react-bootstrap';
import { FlatButton } from 'material-ui';
This is nice and handy but it does not only bundles Button and FlatButton (and their dependencies) but the whole libraries.
Component way of importing
One way to alleviate it is to try to only import or require what is needed, lets say the component way. Using the same example:
import Button from 'react-bootstrap/lib/Button';
import FlatButton from 'material-ui/lib/flat-button';
This will only bundle Button, FlatButton and their respective dependencies. But not the whole library. So I would try to get rid of all your library imports and use the component way instead.
If you are not using lot of components then it should reduce considerably the size of your bundled file.
