Is there a way i can concatenate a string and variable into the name of another variable in react-CodePudding

So i am importing images and naming them img1, img2, img3 etc, i want to be able to increase the number on the name when i click a button, but when i concatenate or use template literals it returns a string. here for clarity.

import img1 from 'img1.jpg'

import img2 from 'img2.jpg'

import img3 from 'img3.jpg'

const [ num, setNum ] = useState(1)

function handleNextClick() {

    setNum(num   1)
}

this is where my problem is >

            <img src={ 'img'   num} alt="" />

it returns as

                <img src='img1' alt="" />

i want

                <img src={img1} alt="" />

You should store your images in a reference array, and pull from there:

import img1 from 'img1.jpg'
import img2 from 'img2.jpg'
import img3 from 'img3.jpg'

const images = [img1, img2, img3]

Then you can reference by index:

<img src={images[num - 1]} alt="" />

Note the - 1 to the num in order to use the zero index array.

CodePudding user response：

Hello in javascript you can do this by simply destructuring your values. and you can always access them by their index array indices usually start at 0

const x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];

so if you want to get the first value you do

x[0];
