REACT - toggle class onclick

Question

I am trying to figure out how to toggle an active class onClick to change CSS properties.

I have taken many approaches, and read many SO answers. Using

Answer 1

Use state. Reacts docs are here.

class MyComponent extends Component {
    constructor(props) {
        super(props);
        this.addActiveClass= this.addActiveClass.bind(this);
        this.state = {
            active: false,
        };
    }
    toggleClass() {
        const currentState = this.state.active;
        this.setState({ active: !currentState });
    };

    render() {
        return (
            <div 
                className={this.state.active ? 'your_className': null} 
                onClick={this.toggleClass} 
            >
                <p>{this.props.text}</p>
            </div>
        )
  }
}

class Test extends Component {
    render() {
        return (
            <div>
                <MyComponent text={'1'} />
                <MyComponent text={'2'} />
            </div>
        );
    }
}

Answer 2

using React you can add toggle class to any id/element, try

style.css

.hide-text{
    display: none !important;
    /* transition: 2s all ease-in 0.9s; */
  }
.left-menu-main-link{
    transition: all ease-in 0.4s;
}
.leftbar-open{
    width: 240px;
    min-width: 240px;
    /* transition: all ease-in 0.4s; */
}
.leftbar-close{
    width: 88px;
    min-width:88px;
    transition: all ease-in 0.4s;
}

fileName.js

......
    ToggleMenu=()=>{
             this.setState({
                isActive: !this.state.isActive
              })
              console.log(this.state.isActive)
        }
        render() {
            return (
                <div className={this.state.isActive===true ? "left-panel leftbar-open" : "left-panel leftbar-close"} id="leftPanel">
                    <div className="top-logo-container"  onClick={this.ToggleMenu}>
                            <span className={this.state.isActive===true ? "left-menu-main-link hide-from-menu" : "hide-text"}>Welcome!</span>
                    </div>

                    <div className="welcome-member">
                        <span className={this.state.isActive===true ? "left-menu-main-link hide-from-menu" : "hide-text"}>Welcome<br/>SDO Rizwan</span>
                    </div>
    )
    }

Thanks to @cssko for providing the correct answer, but if you tried it yourself you will realise it does not work. A suggestion has been made by @Matei Radu, but was rejected by @cssko, so the code remains unrunnable (it will throw error 'Cannot read property bind of undefined'). Below is the working correct answer:

class MyComponent extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.addActiveClass = this.addActiveClass.bind(this);
    this.state = {
      active: false,
    };
  }
  addActiveClass() {
    const currentState = this.state.active;
    this.setState({
      active: !currentState
    });
  };

  render() {
    return ( <
      div className = {
        this.state.active ? 'your_className' : null
      }
      onClick = {
        this.addActiveClass
      } >
      <
      p > {
        this.props.text
      } < /p> < /
      div >
    )
  }
}

class Test extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return ( <
      div >
      <
      MyComponent text = {
        'Clicking this will toggle the opacity through css class'
      }
      /> < /
      div >
    );
  }
}

ReactDOM.render( <
  Test / > ,
  document.body
);

.your_className {
  opacity: 0.3
}

Well, your addActiveClass needs to know what was clicked. Something like this could work (notice that I've added the information which divs are active as a state array, and that onClick now passes the information what was clicked as a parameter after which the state is accordingly updated - there are certainly smarter ways to do it, but you get the idea).

class Test extends Component(){

  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = {activeClasses: [false, false, false]};
    this.addActiveClass= this.addActiveClass.bind(this);
  }

  addActiveClass(index) {
    const activeClasses = [...this.state.activeClasses.slice(0, index), !this.state.activeClasses[index], this.state.activeClasses.slice(index + 1)].flat();
    this.setState({activeClasses});
  }

  render() {
    const activeClasses = this.state.activeClasses.slice();
    return (
      <div>
        <div className={activeClasses[0]? "active" : "inactive"} onClick={() => this.addActiveClass(0)}>
          <p>0</p>
        </div>
        <div className={activeClasses[1]? "active" : "inactive"} onClick={() => this.addActiveClass(1)}>
          <p>1</p>
        </div>
          <div  onClick={() => this.addActiveClass(2)}>
          <p>2</p>
        </div>
      </div>
    );
  }
}

Answer 5

You can also do this with hooks.

function MyComponent (props) {
  const [isActive, setActive] = useState(false);

  const toggleClass = () => {
    setActive(!isActive);
  };

  return (
    <div 
      className={isActive ? 'your_className': null} 
      onClick={toggleClass} 
    >
      <p>{props.text}</p>
    </div>
   );
}

The above answers will work, but just in case you want a different approach, try classname: https://github.com/JedWatson/classnames
