I am using react and try to navigate to another route
using <Link>.
My problem is that a click on the link results in a real
page load instead of a SPA like navigation.
Ive noticed that this happens because i wrapped the link in a if else block.
This works:
<Link to="/login">Login</Link>
This does not work:
let loginOrLogout = (isUserLoggedIn) ?
(<Link to="/logout">Logout</Link>) :
(<Link to="/login">Login</Link>);
{loginOrLogout}
Try a React stateless component like:
function LoginOrLogout(props) {
if (props.isUserLoggedIn) {
return <Link to="/logout">Logout</Link>;
}
return <Link to="/login">Login</Link>;
}
call in the render method:
<LoginOrLogout isUserLoggedIn={isUserLoggedIn}>

I am running the current version of reactJS with hooks. I have three code modules in my app: header.js which creates a navbar and exports it to app.js which adds some other objects and exports all of this to index.js.
I am trying to add an event listener to the individual tiles in the navbar so that I can redirect to the appropriate page.
code
var listenerElement = document.getElementById("Tile1");
if (listenerElement !== null) {
listenerElement.addEventListener("click", navbarClicked) ;
console.log(listenerElement);
} else {
console.log("Element with ID=Tile1 not found");
}
<div id="Tile1" className="linkcontainer">Home</div>
/code
However, I cannot find an appropriate place to add the event-listener and the element with ID "Tile1" is never found - perhaps because it hasn't been rendered as yet?
The element in question is only rendered by index.js but I can't add a function after the reactDOM.render block in index.js - I get an error "not a react function"
Any suggestions would be much appreciated :-)
For react, you should use "refs" to link to a specific aspect of the navabar.
But as you are just trying to have something affect the navbar, you should use the "onClick" property for the div or iconButton or similar.
for example in a function component:
function handleClick() {
console.log("clicked");}
<nav> <iconButton onClick={handleClick} > button </iconButton> </nav>
https://reactjs.org/docs/handling-events.html
In react, you don't work with the DOM directly. React makes a copy of the DOM called virtual DOM and then compares them to update the DOM. You should add your event listener using props.
So instead of:
document.getElementById("Tile1").addEventListener("click", navbarClicked);
you should do <div onClick={navbarClicked} id="Tile1" className="linkcontainer">Home</div>
I kinda need an advice here ... I'm learning how to build a full app based on react.
Here is the test app : https://codesandbox.io/s/cranky-platform-46sjl
Using React , Redux, Saga and typescript.
Everything work so far except the routing :
-Custon event are fired : onClick={() => redirectRequest('/')}
-When I manually try to access an url : /starwars for example : that work
-The router event is fired too in redux devtool : https://snipboard.io/uWaokq.jpg
-The Url change and the {location} in props + state is updated
-The view is not updating --> don't show the other components
I checked a lot of github issues / other stack questions but nothing seem to make it work so far.
Maybe you guy will have an idea of what I am missing here.
Thanks for your time !
Use NavLink as imported from react-router-dom
import { NavLink } from 'react-router-dom';
Later use it as follows in your render function
render () {
return (
...
<NavLink className="navlink" to="/">Home</NavLink>
...
)
}
I am using Facebook's like button as generated by facebook's like button configurator. However in order to get facebook-sdk to finish loading before the Like button, I had to use something called react-load-script and make a my own wrapper component for the like button html I got from the configurator.
my like button
class Like extends React.Component {
state = {
facebookLoaded: false
};
handleFacebookLoaded = () => this.setState({
facebookLoaded: true
});
FacebookSDK = () => <>
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<Script
async defer crossOrigin="anonymous"
url="https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v3.3&appId=391623981325884&autoLogAppEvents=1"
onLoad={this.handleFacebookLoaded}
/>
</>;
render() {
return <>
<this.FacebookSDK />
{this.state.facebookLoaded
? <div class="fb-like" data-href={this.props.url} data-width="" data-layout="button_count" data-action="like" data-size="large" data-show-faces="true" data-share="true" />
: null}
</>;
}
}
In my code all the script loading stuff actually happens in App.jsx, but I moved it into one class just to show a simple version.
This part seems to work fine, the issue lies when changing the url passed to data-href.
I checked the react dom in the browser and the data-href is actually being updated properly, however this does not affect the actual url that is being used by the like button, unless I do a full page refresh. I'm assuming this has to do with how the data-href is being used by facebook-sdk. (edit: after testing I'm not sure anymore)
I've found many questions about this on Stack Overflow, however none of them seem to be based off the CDN version of facebook buttons
From what I understand, the div containing the href needs to be placed out and back into the DOM in order for the facebook-sdk to detect a change, but I don't know how to do this in react without a full page refresh. Also I'm not certain this is even the right solution.
-- Update --
I just noticed something else that seems like useful information. If I navigate to the page with the like button, then it doesn't show up. It will only show up if the page refreshes. I tested it by moving the part that loads the script into the like component (like in the example shown above) and that didn't change the behavior at all.
-- more experimenting --
I wrote an event handler that takes all the facebook related jsx out of the dom and back in (by toggling a button) However when all the code goes back into the dom (both jsx and html), the UI for the button does not come back. I'm really now sure how this is possible as I'm literally reloading the script and everything facebook related so this should be equivalent to a page refresh no?
I fixed the issue thanks to misorude. The part I was missing was calling window.FB.XFBML.parse(). I didn't realize I could access FB the same way using the CDN. If anyone is looking for a react solution here is the working code:
class Like extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
url: props.url,
}
}
handleChangePage() {
let likeBtn = document.createElement('div');
likeBtn.className = "fb-like";
likeBtn.setAttribute("data-href", this.props.url);
likeBtn.setAttribute("data-width", "");
likeBtn.setAttribute("data-layout", "button_count");
likeBtn.setAttribute("data-action", "like");
likeBtn.setAttribute("data-size", "large");
likeBtn.setAttribute("data-show-faces", "true");
likeBtn.setAttribute("data-share", "true");
let likePanel = document.getElementById("like-panel");
likePanel.removeChild(likePanel.childNodes[0]);
likePanel.appendChild(likeBtn);
window.FB.XFBML.parse(likePanel)
this.setState({ url: this.props.url });
}
componentDidMount() {
this.handleChangePage();
}
render() {
if(this.props.url !== this.state.url)
this.handleChangePage();
return <div id="like-panel">
{this.props.facebookLoaded
? <div className="fb-like" data-href={this.props.url} data-width="" data-layout="button_count" data-action="like" data-size="large" data-show-faces="true" data-share="true" />
: null}
</div>;
}
}
I moved the CDN out of this component so that it only loads the sdk once for the whole app.
Trying to use Link within an i18n string but it doesn't read the Link component properly. How do you include react components in react-intl-universal?
language json file
{
"somekey": "some<Link to={ link } somewhere </Link>"
}
javascript
import { Link } from 'react-router'
<Fragment>{ intl.getHTML('somekey', { link: `/somewhere` }) }</Fragment>
You cannot pass a component in react-intl-universal getHTML() method. When you call this method, react-intl-universal create a span element and sets its inner HTML. So the translation that you return with intl.getHTML() is just a HTML string and not a component that will be translated into HTML by react.
You should breakdown your translation in 2 parts and write something like:
import { Link } from 'react-router'
<Fragment>
{intl.get('contentBeforeLink')}
<Link to="/somewhere">
{intl.get('contentInsideLink')}
</Link>
</Fragment>
I'm not able to put a react-router-dom Link inside of a react-google-maps InfoBox without causing a full page reload.
Here's the code for my InfoBox:
import InfoBox from 'react-google-maps/lib/components/addons/InfoBox'
import { Link } from "react-router-dom";
class MyInfoBox extends Component {
...
const options = {
enableEventPropagation:false,
position: new google.maps.LatLng(loc.latitude, loc.longitude)
};
render(){
return (
<InfoBox options={options}>
<Link to={`/location/${loc.id}`}>Go To Location</Link>
</InfoBox>
);
}
}
All Links in my app work correctly, except for this one.
When the "Go To Location" link is clicked, a full-page reload is caused. I've tried to diagnose by following this issue: https://github.com/tomchentw/react-google-maps/issues/258, but I really don't know enough about the react router v4 to find out if the context contains the router object. Changing the value of enableEventPropagation does not change the behavior.
If anyone can help me understand why the Link is causing a page reload, I would really appreciate it.
Thank you in advance!
Try removing onClick prop in <GoogleMap> component and add enableEventPropagation: true to <InfoBox> options.
For me the issue was that <GoogleMap> onClick event was used to remove <InfoBox> when user clicks outside it. But turns out it is called also inside <InfoBox> so basically it was removing <InfoBox> with the <Link> inside it, before handling <Link> click.
