I have a requirement where for each row of a table(rows are dynamically populated), I have a 'Details' button, which is supposed to pop up a modal upon clicking. How do I maintain a state for each of the rows of this table, so that React knows which row I am clicking, and hence pass the props accordingly to the modal component?
What I tried out was create an array of all false values, with length same as my data's. The plan is to update the boolean for a particular row when the button is clicked. However, I'm unable to execute the same.
Here's what I've tried so far:
let initTableState = new Array(data.length).fill(false)
const [tableState, setTableState] = useState(initTableState)
const detailsShow = (index) => {
setTableState(...tableState, tableState[index] = true)
}
I get the 'data' from DB. In the function detailsShow, I'm trying to somehow get the index of the row, so that I can update the corresponding state in 'tableState' Also, here's what my code to put in modal component looks like, placed right after the row entries are made:
{tableState[index] && DetailModal}
Here DetailModal is the modal component. Any help in resolving this use case is greatly appreciated!
CodePudding user response:
The tableState
is a single array object. You are also spreading the array into the setTableState
updater function, the state updater function also takes only a single state value argument or callback function to update state.
You can use a functional state update and map the previous state to the next state, using the mapped index to match and update the specific element's boolean value.
const detailsShow = (index) => {
setTableState(tableState => tableState.map((el, i) => i === index ? true : el))
}
If you don't want to map the previous state and prefer to shallow copy the array first and update the specific index:
const detailsShow = (index) => {
setTableState(tableState => {
const nextTableState = [...tableState];
nextTableState[index] = true;
return nextTableState;
})
}
