I want to be able to update a child component property from both the parent and itself according to the last event.
For example:
class MyParent extends Component {
state ={
text:"";
}
render() {
return (
<View>
<MyChild text={this.state.text} />
<Button
onPress={()=>this.setState({text:"parent"})}
title="Update From Parent"
/>
</View>
);
}
}
class MyChild extends Component {
state ={
text:"";
}
componentWillReceiveProps(nextProps) {
if (nextProps.text!== this.state.text) {
this.setState({text:nextProps.text});
}
}
render() {
return (
<View>
{/* I want that the text field will be updated from the last event*/}
<Text>{this.state.text}</Text>
<Button
onPress={()=>this.setState({text:"child"})}
title="Update From Child"
/>
</View>
);
}
}
The issue is that componentWillReceiveProps is triggered each time the setState is called so the text property takes the value from the parent and not from the child.
How can I achive this result?
Thanks a lot Elad
Manage your state
through parent
component and pass
the function that will update the state
of parent
component in child
component
class MyParent extends Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
text: "",
updateParentState: (newState) => this.setState(newState)
}
}
render() {
let { text, updateParentState } = this.state;
return (
<View>
<MyChild data={{ text, updateParentState }} />
<Button
onPress={() => updateParentState({ text: "parent" })}
title="Update From Parent"
/>
</View>
);
}
}
class MyChild extends Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
text: props.data.text
}
}
componentWillReceiveProps(nextProps) {
if (nextProps.text !== this.state.text) {
this.setState({ text: nextProps.data.text });
}
}
render() {
let { updateParentState } = this.props.data;
return (
<View>
<Text>{this.state.text}</Text>
<Button
onPress={() => updateParentState({ text: "child" })}
title="Update From Child"
/>
</View>
);
}
}
You are missing this. in the setState call in child. please check if this is not the issue.
<Button
onPress={()=>setState({text:"child"})}
title="Update From Child"
/>
should be
<Button
onPress={()=>this.setState({text:"child"})}
title="Update From Child"
/>
