React：如何将返回的函数值传递给父组件？

Question

new to react so this is probably very obvious but I have a function that calculates distance between the user and the lat,lng of the component (from the state) and then returns the value with returnDistance() .

export default class Space extends React.Component {
    render() {
        const userLat = this.props.userLat,
        userLng = this.props.userLng;

        let lat = this.props.node.latitude,
            lng = this.props.node.longitude;

        function getDistance(lat1, lon1, lat2, lon2) {
            var R = 6371; // km
            var dLat = toRad(lat2 - lat1);
            var dLon = toRad(lon2 - lon1);
            var lat1 = toRad(lat1);
            var lat2 = toRad(lat2);

            var a = Math.sin(dLat / 2) * Math.sin(dLat / 2) +
                Math.sin(dLon / 2) * Math.sin(dLon / 2) * Math.cos(lat1) * Math.cos(lat2);
            var c = 2 * Math.atan2(Math.sqrt(a), Math.sqrt(1 - a));
            var d = R * c;
            return d;
        }

        // Converts numeric degrees to radians
        function toRad(Value) {
            return Value * Math.PI / 180;
        }

        function returnDistance() {
            return getDistance(userLat, userLng, lat, lng).toFixed(1);
        }

        return (
            <Component>
                {userLat ?
                <ComponentDistance>
                    {returnDistance()}
                    <span>km</span>
                </ComponentDistance>
                : null }
            </Component>
        )
    }
}

How do I pass the value of returnDistance() to the parent component when I can't setState or props within render?

thanks

Answer 1

Have a prop called something like onCalculateDistance and, in the child, do this:

function returnDistance() {
        const dist = getDistance(userLat, userLng, lat, lng).toFixed(1);
        this.props.onCalculateDistance(dist);
        return dist;
    }

And then in the parent, you can do this:

distanceChange(dist) {
       // whatever you want, for example
     this.setState({dist});
}

render() {
  return (<Space onCalculateDistance=(this.distanceChange)/>)
}

Answer 2

Typically you would keep the returnDistance() function in the parent component if you need access to its result there. Then you pass it down in the props of the component it will be called in.
