How to use sideNav of materialize css with react?

sirandy picture sirandy · Feb 21, 2018 · Viewed 9.7k times · Source

I'm developing an app with React, I want to use the sidenav component http://materializecss.com/side-nav.html

The problem is that I'm getting this error:

Sidebar.js:8 Uncaught TypeError: __WEBPACK_IMPORTED_MODULE_2_jquery___default(...)(...).sideNav is not a function
    at HTMLDocument.<anonymous> (Sidebar.js:8)
    at mightThrow (jquery.js:3534)
    at process (jquery.js:3602)

I'm so confused with the way of import components, libraries. There are a lot of them and a lot of ways to configure it.

What I've done is:

  1. Create the app with

    create-react-app

  2. Install materialize via npm

    npm install materialize-css@next

  3. Create the react app

Here's the code I'm using:

index.html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, shrink-to-fit=no">
    <meta name="theme-color" content="#000000">

    <link rel="manifest" href="%PUBLIC_URL%/manifest.json">
    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="%PUBLIC_URL%/favicon.ico">

    <title>React App</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <noscript>
      You need to enable JavaScript to run this app.
    </noscript>
    <div id="root"></div>

    <script type="text/javascript" src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.2.1.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/babel" src="js/materialize.min.js"></script>
  </body>
</html>

App.js

import React from 'react'
import {BrowserRouter, Route} from 'react-router-dom';
import Sidebar from './Sidebar'

const Dashboard = () => <h2>Dashboard</h2>
const Survey = () => <h2>Survey</h2>
const Landing = () => <h2>Landing</h2>
const Home = () => <h2>Home</h2>

const App = () => {
    return (
            <div>
                <BrowserRouter>
                    <div>
                        <Sidebar />
                        <Route exact path="/" component={Home} />
                        <Route path="/surveys" component={Dashboard} />
                    </div>
                </BrowserRouter>
                Hi There!
            </div>
        )
}

export default App;

Sidebar.js

import React, {Component} from 'react';
import 'materialize-css/dist/css/materialize.min.css';
import $ from 'jquery';

class Sidebar extends Component {
    componentDidMount() {
        $(document).ready(function(){
            $('.sidenav').sideNav();
        });
    }

    render() {
        return (
            <ul id="slide-out" className="sidenav"> 
                <li><a href="#!"><i className="material-icons">cloud</i>First Link With Icon</a></li>
                <li><a href="#!">Second Link</a></li>
            </ul>
        );
    }
}

export default Sidebar;

package.json

{
  "name": "support-tools",
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "private": true,
  "dependencies": {
    "jquery": "^3.3.1",
    "materialize-css": "^1.0.0-alpha.4",

    "build": "react-scripts build",
    "test": "react-scripts test --env=jsdom",
    "eject": "react-scripts eject"
  }
}

I've tried use two versions of jQuery on index.js

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.2.4/jquery.min.js"></script>

and

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.2.1.min.js"></script>

But I can have the sidenav running. What could I do?

After many tries finally I got running the SideNav running with React:

package.json

{
  "name": "sidebar",
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "private": true,
  "dependencies": {
    "jquery": "^3.3.1",
    "material-design-icons": "^3.0.1",
    "materialize-css": "^1.0.0-alpha.4",
    "react": "^16.2.0",
    "react-dom": "^16.2.0",
    "react-mdl": "^1.11.0",
    "react-scripts": "1.1.1"
  },
  "scripts": {
    "start": "react-scripts start",
    "build": "react-scripts build",
    "test": "react-scripts test --env=jsdom",
    "eject": "react-scripts eject"
  }
}
