So I've been struggling with this code. I have a component which accepts a child as a prop, and it is supposed to be the base of all the pages I host.
Base.jsx :
import React from 'react';
import PropTypes from 'prop-types';
import { Link, NavLink } from 'react-router-dom';
const Base = ({ child }) => (
<div>
<div className="top-bar">
<div className="top-bar-left">
<NavLink to="/">React App</NavLink>
</div>
<div className="top-bar-right">
<Link to="/login">Log in</Link>
</div>
</div>
{child.render()} // HERE IS THE CHILD TO RENDER
</div>
);
Base.propTypes = {
child: PropTypes.object.isRequired
};
export default Base;
Then, in app.jsx, where lies the ReactDom.render(), I have this :
import React from 'react';
import ReactDom from 'react-dom';
import injectTapEventPlugin from 'react-tap-event-plugin';
import getMuiTheme from 'material-ui/styles/getMuiTheme';
import MuiThemeProvider from 'material-ui/styles/MuiThemeProvider';
import {BrowserRouter, Switch, Route} from 'react-router-dom';
import LoginPag from './components/LoginPag.jsx';
import Base from './components/Base.jsx';
import HomePage from './components/HomePage.jsx';
// for MaterialUI to work properly
injectTapEventPlugin();
const TestLogin = (props) => {
return (<Base child={LoginPag} />);
};
const TestBase = (props) => {
return(<Base child={HomePage}/>)
};
ReactDom.render((<BrowserRouter><MuiThemeProvider muiTheme={getMuiTheme()}>
<div>
<Switch>
<Route exact path="/" component={TestBase} />
<Route exact path="/login" component={TestLogin}/>
</Switch>
</div>
</MuiThemeProvider>
</BrowserRouter>), document.getElementById('react-app'));
Finally, HomePage and LoginPag look alike and here's the HomePage.jsx :
import React from 'react';
import { Card, CardTitle } from 'material-ui/Card';
const HomePage = {
render() {
return (<Card className="container">
<CardTitle title="React Application" subtitle="This is the home page." />
</Card>);
}
};
export default HomePage;
My question now is : Isn't it possible to get rid of these abstractions TestLogin and TestBase ?
My final goal is to have something like this :
<Route exact path="/" component={Base(HomePage)} />, that is to say getting rid of the abstraction layer and directly render this in one line.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Thanks to anuragasaurus, I could achieve what I wanted. Can I do it with a class as well ? The class is declared as class LoginPage extends React.Component and has a render() method.
You can use render to display your component inline,
<Route exact path="/" render={()=><Base child={HomePage} />} />
<Route exact path="/login" render={()=><Base child={LoginPage} />}/>
With a simple object AND a class:
const Base = ({ child }) => (
<div>
<div className="top-bar">
<div className="top-bar-left">
<NavLink to="/">React App</NavLink>
</div>
<div className="top-bar-right">
<Link to="/login">Log in</Link>
</div>
</div>
{child}
</div>
);
And
const TestLogin = (props) => {
return (<Base child={<LoginPage/>} />);
};
const TestBase = (props) => {
return(<Base child={<HomePage}/>/>)
};
To answer for the entire question :
<Route exact path="/" render={()=><Base child={<HomePage/>} />} />
<Route exact path="/login" render={()=><Base child={<LoginPage/>} />}/>
