REACT - toggle class onclick

Question

Use state. Reacts docs are here.

class MyComponent extends Component {
    constructor(props) {
        super(props);
        this.addActiveClass= this.addActiveClass.bind(this);
        this.state = {
            active: false,
        };
    }
    toggleClass() {
        const currentState = this.state.active;
        this.setState({ active: !currentState });
    };

    render() {
        return (
            <div 
                className={this.state.active ? 'your_className': null} 
                onClick={this.toggleClass} 
            >
                <p>{this.props.text}</p>
            </div>
        )
  }
}

class Test extends Component {
    render() {
        return (
            <div>
                <MyComponent text={'1'} />
                <MyComponent text={'2'} />
            </div>
        );
    }
}

You can also do this with hooks.

function MyComponent (props) {
  const [isActive, setActive] = useState(false);

  const toggleClass = () => {
    setActive(!isActive);
  };

  return (
    <div 
      className={isActive ? 'your_className': null} 
      onClick={toggleClass} 
    >
      <p>{props.text}</p>
    </div>
   );
}  

I would prefer using "&&" -operator on inline if-statement. In my opinnion it gives cleaner codebase this way.

Generally you could be doing something like this

render(){
return(
  <div>
    <button className={this.state.active && 'active'}
      onClick={ () => this.setState({active: !this.state.active}) }>Click me</button>
  </div>
)
}

Just keep in mind arrow function is ES6 feature and remember to set 'this.state.active' value in class constructor(){}

this.state = { active: false }

or if you want to inject css in JSX you are able to do it this way

<button style={this.state.active && style.button} >button</button>

and you can declare style json variable

const style = { button: { background:'red' } }

remember using camelCase on JSX stylesheets.

Well, your addActiveClass needs to know what was clicked. Something like this could work (notice that I've added the information which divs are active as a state array, and that onClick now passes the information what was clicked as a parameter after which the state is accordingly updated - there are certainly smarter ways to do it, but you get the idea).

class Test extends Component(){

  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = {activeClasses: [false, false, false]};
    this.addActiveClass= this.addActiveClass.bind(this);
  }

  addActiveClass(index) {
    const activeClasses = [...this.state.activeClasses.slice(0, index), !this.state.activeClasses[index], this.state.activeClasses.slice(index + 1)].flat();
    this.setState({activeClasses});
  }

  render() {
    const activeClasses = this.state.activeClasses.slice();
    return (
      <div>
        <div className={activeClasses[0]? "active" : "inactive"} onClick={() => this.addActiveClass(0)}>
          <p>0</p>
        </div>
        <div className={activeClasses[1]? "active" : "inactive"} onClick={() => this.addActiveClass(1)}>
          <p>1</p>
        </div>
          <div  onClick={() => this.addActiveClass(2)}>
          <p>2</p>
        </div>
      </div>
    );
  }
}

React has a concept of components state, so if you want to switch it, do a setState:

constructor(props) {
  super(props);

  this.addActiveClass= this.addActiveClass.bind(this);
  this.state = {
    isActive: false
  }
}

addActiveClass() {
  this.setState({
    isActive: true
  })
}

In your component use this.state.isActive to render what you need.

This gets more complicated when you want to set state in component#1 and use it in component#2. Just dig more into react unidirectional data flow and possibly redux that will help you handle it.
