I am learning Reactjs. I have implemented one sample react app with rails. I have search a lots to find the solution but I didn't find any. I wanted to call another component from onClick
function. But nothing happen. Is that possible what I try to achieve? If yes, then please point me where I do mistake and If not, then which way I can implement. Here is my code:
var Comment = React.createClass({
render: function () {
return (
<div id={"comment_"+ this.props.id }>
<h4>{ this.props.author } said:</h4>
<p>{ this.props.desc }</p>
<a href='' onClick={this.handleDelete}>Delete</a> | #this is for delete which works great
<a href='' onClick={this.handleEdit}>Edit</a>
# If I put here then it works fine <UpdateComments comments={ this.props} /> but I don't want it here
</div>
)
},
handleDelete: function(event) {
$.ajax({
url: '/comments/'+ this.props.id,
type: "DELETE",
dataType: "json",
success: function (data) {
this.setState({ comments: data });
}.bind(this)
});
},
handleEdit: function(event) {
var Temp = React.createClass({
render: function(event){
return(<div>
<UpdateComments comments={ this.props} /> #here I want to call UpdateComments component
</div>
)
}
});
}
});
Update: If I try below trick then it call the component but reload the page and again disappear called component :(
handleEdit: function() {
React.render(<UpdateComments comments={ this.props} /> , document.getElementById('comment_'+ this.props.id));
}
any other detail if you required then feel free to ask. Thanks in advance. :)
Maybe this fiddle could point you in right way
var Hello = React.createClass({
render: function() {
return <div>Hello {this.props.name}
<First1/>
<First2/>
</div>;
}
});
var First1 = React.createClass({
myClick: function(){
alert('Show 1');
changeFirst();
},
render: function() {
return <a onClick={this.myClick}> Saludo</a>;
}
});
var First2 = React.createClass({
getInitialState: function(){
return {myState: ''};
},
componentDidMount: function() {
var me = this;
window.changeFirst = function() {
me.setState({'myState': 'Hey!!!'})
}
},
componentWillUnmount: function() {
window.changeFirst = null;
},
render: function() {
return <span> Saludo {this.state.myState}</span>;
}
});
React.render(<Hello name="World" />, document.getElementById('container'));

<div id="container">
<!-- This element's contents will be replaced with your component. -->
</div>
Basically I use those links:
communicate between components
It hopes this helps.
Also, you could use the container component and use it like a bridge between both components.
