In this answer, we are going to learn about different ways to show or hide elements and components in react. The key is to update the state of the component in the click handler using setState. When the state changes get applied, the render method gets called again with the new state:
Use the following code:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 | var Search = React.createClass({ getInitialState: function() { return { showResults: false }; }, onClick: function() { this.setState({ showResults: true }); }, render: function() { return ( <div> <input type="submit" value="Search" onClick={this.onClick} /> { this.state.showResults ? <Results /> : null } </div> ); } }); var Results = React.createClass({ render: function() { return ( <div id="results" className="search-results"> Some Results </div> ); } }); ReactDOM.render( <Search /> , document.getElementById('container')); |
1 2 3 4 5 6 | <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/react/15.6.2/react.min.js"></script> <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/react-dom/15.6.2/react-dom.min.js"></script> <div id="container"> <!-- This element's contents will be replaced with your component. --> </div> |
