I have a modal component with two methods that show/hide the modal. How can I call those methods from another component?
This is the code for the Modal:
// Dependencies
//==============================================================================
import React from 'react'
import Modal from 'boron/DropModal'
// Class definition
//==============================================================================
export default class RegistrationModal extends React.Component {
showRegistrationModal() {
this.refs.registrationModal.show()
}
hideRegistrationModal() {
this.refs.registrationModal.hide()
}
render() {
return (
<Modal ref="registrationModal" className="modal">
<h2>Meld je aan</h2>
<button onClick={this.hideRegistrationModal.bind(this)}>Close</button>
</Modal>
)
}
}
You can call a components method from the outside as long as you keep a reference to the component. For example:
let myRegistrationModal = ReactDOM.render(<RegistrationModal />, approot );
// now you can call the method:
myRegistrationModal.showRegistrationModal()
It's a bit cleaner if you pass a reference to the modal to another component, like a button:
let OpenModalButton = props => (
<button onClick={ props.modal.showRegistrationModal }>{ props.children }</button>
);
let myRegistrationModal = ReactDOM.render(<RegistrationModal />, modalContainer );
ReactDOM.render(<OpenModalButton modal={ myRegistrationModal }>Click to open</OpenModalButton>, buttonContainer );
Working example: http://jsfiddle.net/69z2wepo/48169/
You cant call it from another component, because its a method belong to RegistrationModal
component, but you can refactor your code so you can call it
export function hideRegistrationModal() {
console.log("ok");
}
export default class RegistrationModal extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
<Modal ref="registrationModal" className="modal">
<h2>Meld je aan</h2>
<button onClick={hideRegistrationModal}>Close</button>
</Modal>
)
}
}
now you can call from anywhere but you need to import it first like this
import { RegistrationModal, hideRegistrationModal } from 'path to modal.js'
// ^-- Component name ^-- Method
What you want to do is create a parent component which will handle the communication between your modals.
A really great example and explanation can be found here: ReactJS Two components communicating
This is a good approach because it keeps your components decoupled.
