Dynamic attribute in ReactJS

I'm using React 16 and this works for me (where bool is your test):

<fieldset {...(bool && {disabled:true})}>

Basically, based on the test (bool) you return an object with the conditional attributes or you don't.

Also, if you need to add or omit multiple attributes you can do this:

<fieldset {...(bool && {disabled:true, something:'123'})}>

For more elaborate attribute managed I suggest you prefab the object with (or without) the attributes outside of JSX.


You can pass a boolean to the disabled attribute.

render: function() {
    return <button disabled={AppStore.cartIsEmpty()}>Clear cart</button>
}

function Test() {
  return (
    <div>
      <button disabled={false}>Clear cart</button>
      <button disabled={true}>Clear cart</button>
    </div>
  );
}

ReactDOM.render(<Test />, document.querySelector("#test-container"));
console.log(Array.from(document.querySelectorAll("button")));
<script crossorigin src="https://unpkg.com/react@17/umd/react.development.js"></script>
<script crossorigin src="https://unpkg.com/react-dom@17/umd/react-dom.development.js"></script>
<div id="test-container"></div>

The cleanest way to add optional attributes (including disabled and others you might want to use) is currently to use JSX spread attributes:

var Hello = React.createClass({
    render: function() {
        var opts = {};
        if (this.props.disabled) {
            opts['disabled'] = 'disabled';
        }
        return <button {...opts}>Hello {this.props.name}</button>;
    }
});

React.render((<div><Hello name="Disabled" disabled='true' />
    <Hello name="Enabled"  />
</div>)
, document.getElementById('container'));

By using spread attributes, you can dynamically add (or override) whatever attributes you'd like by using a javascript object instance. In my example above, the code creates a disabled key (with a disabled value in this case) when the disabled property is passed to the Hello component instance.

If you only want to use disabled though, this answer works well.
