React create constants file

Question

How to create constants file like: key - value in ReactJs,

ACTION_INVALID = \"This action is invalid!\"

and to use that in other components

Answer 1

I'm not entirely sure I got your question but if I did it should be quite simple:

From my understanding you just want to create a file with constants and use it in another file.

fileWithConstants.js:

export const ACTION_INVALID = "This action is invalid!"
export const CONSTANT_NUMBER_1 = 'hello I am a constant';
export const CONSTANT_NUMBER_2 = 'hello I am also a constant';

fileThatUsesConstants.js:

import * as myConstClass from 'path/to/fileWithConstants';

const errorMsg = myConstClass.ACTION_INVALID;

If you are using react you should have either webpack or packager (for react-native) so you should have babel which can translate your use of export and import to older js.
