I have certain routes defined in routes.tsx
.
I am using this to dynamically populate a sidebar (Material UI Drawer).
The routes have the following structure:
const AppRoutes = {
group_a: {
title: "",
icon: <material icon JSX>,
path: "",
children: {
...same structure as a group, but without further children
}
}
}
After getting the routes, I created a state object to keep track of expanding/collapsing the groups.
let menuGroups = Object.keys(AppRoutes);
const [groupOpen, setGroupOpen] = React.useState(() => {
const state = {};
for (let group of menuGroups)
(state as any)[group] = true;
return state;
});
const handleGroupToggle = (group: string) => {
setGroupOpen(state => (state as any)[group] = !(state as any)[group]); // something wrong here? idk
};
But this isn't working as expected.
Initially the groups are open as expected. But on clicking any group, all groups collapse together. And then another attempt to re-open them results in an error.
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot create property 'group_a' on boolean 'false'
On further investigation, I found that the state object has somehow become just a boolean false
.
