从子类ReactJS向父类中的事件处理程序传递参数

Question

I am trying to pass a parameter to an event handler in a parent class, but am having some difficulty. I have done a good amount of research and am close to answer, but something's not quite working. Below I will give a basic hypothetical example of what I would like to do that doesn't work.

class Parent extends React.Component {
       constructor(props){
           super(props);
           this.handleClick = this.handleClick.bind(this);
       }

       handleClick(i){
           return event => console.log(i);
       }

       render(){
          return <Child onClick={this.handleClick}></button>;
       }
}

class Child extends React.Component {
       render() {
            const myVar = 2;
            return <button onClick={this.props.onClick(myVar)}></button>;
       }
}

I know the onClick prop that is passed to the Child is not a function, so I am unable to pass parameters directly to it. What is the best way to go about doing this? Thanks for you help!

Answer 1

Make the following update to your code

class Child extends React.Component{
       render(){
            const var = 2;
            return <button onClick={ () => {this.props.onClick(var)} }</button>;
       }
}

Furthermore, you should refactor the following method used by parent as so. You are passing e needlessly.

handleClick(i){
    console.log(i);
}

The onClick on your child component was immediately invoked instead of waiting for the onClick event to fire.

Answer 2

You can't do

handleClick(i){
           return (e => {console.log(i)});
       }

instead, try

handleClick(i){
          console.log(i)
       }

and move the event handling to where it is being called. So instead of

<button onClick={this.props.onClick(var)}</button>

You want to try

<button onClick={e => this.props.onClick(var)}</button>
