react organizing links in render method

Question

I found a tutorial where navigation bar links are displayed as per a const field created within the render() method. While the code works great, I am trying to do a bit more.

If the user is Super admin (lets say), I would like to display both superAdminLinks as well as userLinks . I tried multiple things, but I am not able to get this thing right. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

My render() code snippet, looks like below

render() {


            const isSuperAdmin = user.user_role === "SUPER_ADMIN";


            const userLeftMenu = (
                <ul className="nav nav-sidebar">
                    <li>UserLink1</li>
                    <li>UserLink2</li>
                </ul>
            )

            const superAdminLeftMenu = (
                <ul className="nav nav-sidebar">
                    <li>SuperAdminLink1</li>
                    <li><SuperAdminLink2</li>
                </ul>
            )

            return (
                    <header>
                        <div className="container-fluid">
                            <div className="row">
                                <div className="col-sm-3 col-md-2 sidebar">
                                 { isSuperAdmin ? superAdminLeftMenu : userLeftMenu  }
                                </div>
                            </div>
                        </div>
                   </header>
            );
    }

Above code only renders SuperAdminLinks if the user is SuperAdmin. How can I render, both user and super admin links for SuperUser?

Answer 1

You can use React.Fragment :

 const { render } = ReactDOM; const role = "SUPER_ADMIN"; const App = () => { const isSuperAdmin = role === "SUPER_ADMIN"; const userLeftMenu = ( <React.Fragment> <li>UserLink1</li> <li>UserLink2</li> </React.Fragment> ); const superAdminLeftMenu = ( <React.Fragment> <li>SuperAdminLink1</li> <li>SuperAdminLink2</li> {userLeftMenu} </React.Fragment> ); return ( <header> <div className="container-fluid"> <div className="row"> <div className="col-sm-3 col-md-2 sidebar"> <ul className="nav nav-sidebar"> {isSuperAdmin ? superAdminLeftMenu : userLeftMenu} </ul> </div> </div> </div> </header> ); }; render(<App />, document.getElementById("root"));

<div className="col-sm-3 col-md-2 sidebar">
   { isSuperAdmin ? superAdminLeftMenu : userLeftMenu  }
   { isSuperAdmin && userLeftMenu  }
</div>

Answer 3

return (
   <header>
     <div className="container-fluid">
       <div className="row">
         <div className="col-sm-3 col-md-2 sidebar">
           { isSuperAdmin && superAdminLeftMenu }
           { isSuperAdmin && userLeftMenu }   
         </div>
       </div>
     </div>
   </header>
)

If not is the case of UserLeftMenu is always inside SuperUserLeftMenu , then we can use one better way to do this. This form lets return all components you want inside same if statement:

 const { render } = ReactDOM; const role = "SUPER_ADMIN"; const App = () => { const isSuperAdmin = role === "SUPER_ADMIN"; const UserLeftMenu = () => ( <div> <li>UserLink1</li> <li>UserLink2</li> </div> ); const SuperAdminLeftMenu = () => ( <div> <li>SuperAdminLink1</li> <li>SuperAdminLink2</li> </div> ); return ( <header> <div className="container-fluid"> <div className="row"> <div className="col-sm-3 col-md-2 sidebar"> { isSuperAdmin ? <div> <SuperAdminLeftMenu/> <UserLeftMenu/> </div> /* Return 'SuperAdminLeftMenu' and 'UserLeftMenu' components. If you returns components of this form, you can return all component you want inside same if */ : <UserLeftMenu /> } </div> </div> </div> </header> ); }; render(<App />, document.getElementById("root"));

If UserLeftMenu is always inside SuperUserLeftMenu , you can do something like:

 const { render } = ReactDOM; const role = "SUPER_ADMIN"; const App = () => { const isSuperAdmin = role === "SUPER_ADMIN"; const UserLeftMenu = () => ( <div> <li>UserLink1</li> <li>UserLink2</li> </div> ); const SuperAdminLeftMenu = () => ( <div> <li>SuperAdminLink1</li> <li>SuperAdminLink2</li> { <UserLeftMenu/> } </div> // Include 'UserLeftMenu' inside 'SuperAdminLeftMenu' ); return ( <header> <div className="container-fluid"> <div className="row"> <div className="col-sm-3 col-md-2 sidebar"> { isSuperAdmin ? <SuperAdminLeftMenu/> // Return 'SuperAdminLeftMenu' component : <UserLeftMenu /> } </div> </div> </div> </header> ); }; render(<App />, document.getElementById("root"));
