I have
var TestApp = React.createClass({
getComponent: function(){
console.log(this.props);
},
render: function(){
return(
<div>
<ul>
<li onClick={this.getComponent}>Component 1</li>
</ul>
</div>
);
}
});
React.renderComponent(<TestApp />, document.body);
I want to color the background of the clicked list element. How can I do this in React ?
Something like
$('li').on('click', function(){
$(this).css({'background-color': '#ccc'});
});
Why not:
onItemClick: function (event) {
event.currentTarget.style.backgroundColor = '#ccc';
},
render: function() {
return (
<div>
<ul>
<li onClick={this.onItemClick}>Component 1</li>
</ul>
</div>
);
}
And if you want to be more React-ive about it, you might want to set the selected item as state of its containing React component, then reference that state to determine the item's color within render
:
onItemClick: function (event) {
this.setState({ selectedItem: event.currentTarget.dataset.id });
//where 'id' = whatever suffix you give the data-* li attribute
},
render: function() {
return (
<div>
<ul>
<li onClick={this.onItemClick} data-id="1" className={this.state.selectedItem == 1 ? "on" : "off"}>Component 1</li>
<li onClick={this.onItemClick} data-id="2" className={this.state.selectedItem == 2 ? "on" : "off"}>Component 2</li>
<li onClick={this.onItemClick} data-id="3" className={this.state.selectedItem == 3 ? "on" : "off"}>Component 3</li>
</ul>
</div>
);
},
You'd want to put those <li>
s into a loop, and you need to make the li.on
and li.off
styles set your background-color
.
