How to do a nested if else statement in ReactJS JSX?
You can nest as many statements as possible. please follow this code assuming that this.state.firstTestValue
, this.state.someTestValue
and this.state.thirdValueTest
are your test values from the state.
{this.state.firstTestValue
? <div >First Title</div>
: [
this.state.someTestValue
? <div>Second Title</div>
: [
this.state.thirdValueTest
? <div>Some Third Title</div>
: <div>Last Title</div>
]
]
}
You need to wrap your title and body in a container. That could be a div. If you use a fragment instead, you'll have one less element in the dom.
{ this.state.loadingPage
? <span className="sr-only">Loading... Registered Devices</span>
: <>
{this.state.someBoolean
? <div>some title</div>
: null
}
<div>body</div>
</>
}
I would advise against nesting ternary statements because it's hard to read. Sometimes it's more elegant to "return early" than to use a ternary. Also, you can use isBool && component
if you only want the true part of the ternary.
renderContent() {
if (this.state.loadingPage) {
return <span className="sr-only">Loading... Registered Devices</span>;
}
return (
<>
{this.state.someBoolean && <div>some title</div>}
<div>body</div>
</>
);
}
render() {
return <div className="outer-wrapper">{ this.renderContent() }</div>;
}
Caveat to the syntax someBoolean && "stuff"
: if by mistake, someBoolean
is set to 0
or NaN
, that Number will be rendered to the DOM. So if the "boolean" might be a falsy Number, it's safer to use (someBoolean ? "stuff" : null)
.
Instead of nesting ternary operators as it is often suggested or creating a separate function that will not be reused anywhere else, you can simply call an inline expression:
<div className="some-container">
{
(() => {
if (conditionOne)
return <span>One</span>
if (conditionTwo)
return <span>Two</span>
else (conditionOne)
return <span>Three</span>
})()
}
</div>
You can check multiple conditions to render components accordingly like below:
this.state.route === 'projects'
?
<div> <Navigation onRouteChange={this.onRouteChange}/> Projects</div>
:
this.state.route === 'about'
?
<div> <Navigation onRouteChange={this.onRouteChange}/> About</div>
:
this.state.route === 'contact'
?
<div> <Navigation onRouteChange={this.onRouteChange}/> Contact</div>
:
<p> default </p>
