How to provide dynamic className to element in React Class render method
Take a look at the classnames package. You can do stuff like this:
className={classNames('alert', `alert-${type}`)}
or
className={classNames({
'alert': true,
'alert-success': success,
'alert-error': error
})
Looks like I have found answer to my question. We can simply do something like this:
var Alert = ReactClass({
render: function() {
return <div className={"alert " + this.props.type}>{this.props.message}</div>
}
});
Just put your classes inside Template evaluators { }
in this case. Create your class string based on your props and states.
Hope this is helpful to others.
One way to accomplish this is to have a string which will contain all of your classes and then set it to the Component's className
:
var Alert = ReactClass({
var yourClassName = 'alert ';
// Add any additional class names
yourClassName += this.props.type + ' ';
render: function() {
return <div className={yourClassName}>{this.props.message}</div>
}
});
or alternatively you can store your class names in an array and convert it to a class friendly string when you're ready to use it:
var Alert = ReactClass({
var yourClassArray = [];
// Add any additional class names
yourClassArray.push('alert');
yourClassArray.push(this.props.type);
var classString = yourClassArray.join(' ');
render: function() {
return <div className={classString}>{this.props.message}</div>
}
});
