How can I focus a button on click in ReactJS - javascript

I have the following problem, in my web site build with nextJS and ReactJS with typescript I have products that are loaded when a button is clicked, when I click the button the items appeared and the button is scrolled down, which is the asked behavior, but when I scroll to the bottom of the page and I try to click the button the scroll remains on the same position and the items are loaded but cannot be seen, my logic is to use onFocus on the current button and when I click it to change the scroll to him, that will solve the problem when the user has scrolled down to the bottom of the page, that way it will not remain on the bottom but rather it will automatically scroll up to the button and will see the new items loaded.
The problem is that the logic to load the products are in a different component in which I am reusing the current button and right prop I am sending function to the onClick on the button. My question is how can I use onFocus. Does it has to be in the child component inside the function or in the button component. I tried to make it work on the Button component, but it doesn't work. So I am stuck for the last 4 hours and I really need a push. I would be glad if you could shine some enlargement
Here I will enter the function in the parent component for the onClick prop :
const handleLoadMoreProducts = () => {
if (!isSearchPage) {
const mappedBreadcrumbs: string[] = categoryData.breadcrumbs.map(
(crumb: BreadCrumItem) => crumb.name
);
gtmBreadcrumbTrack(mappedBreadcrumbs);
}
<LoadMoreProducts handleLoadMoreProducts={handleLoadMoreProducts} />
And here is the component that uses the Button:
interface LoadMoreProductsProps {
handleLoadMoreProducts?: (MouseEvent: React.MouseEvent<HTMLButtonElement>) => void;
Focus?: (MouseEvent: React.MouseEvent<HTMLButtonElement>) => void;
}
const LoadMoreProducts: FC<LoadMoreProductsProps> = ({ handleLoadMoreProducts }) => (
<div className="LoadMoreProducts">
<Button type="button" importance="ghost" onClick={handleLoadMoreProducts}>
Load more products
</Button>
</div>
);

I think what you want to do is to forward the ref of the element you are trying to focus in the Button component using React.forwardRef and combine it with the useImperativeHandle hook in order to gain the ability to trigger the focus with the ref outside of the Button component.
You could create a ref for the element you are trying to focus and call the focus() function for the ref on click.
More information regarding forwarding refs and the useImperativeHandle hook.

Material UI's ClickAwayListener firing right away, which causes state to toggle twice

I have been doing research on this for days and finally have decided to ask this on here. I am using react and material-ui's ClickAwayListener component. The idea is that I have a button, which toggles the this.state.showGridPopup to the opposite of whatever it is currently is. So if the user was to click it once, the grid popup should show, click it again, the popup should disappear. There is an handleShowGrid handler attached to the button that does this:
handleShowGrid = (event) => {
const { widgetButtonEl } = this.state;
const element = widgetButtonEl === null ? event.currentTarget : null;
console.log('In handleShowGrid!!!!!');
this.setState({
showWidget: !this.state.showWidget,
widgetButtonEl: element
});
}
All this works well. And toggles the popup to show when we click on the button attached to the handler.
<ButtonBase onClick={this.handleShowGrid}>Open Swap</ButtonBase>
The issue is when I add Material-UI's ClickAwayListener. The reason for adding this is to close the grid when a user clicks outside the grid. Here is the ClickAwayListener below:
<ClickAwayListener onClickAway={this.handleCloseWidget}>
<SurveyGrid />
</ClickAwayListener>
And the handleCloseWidget handler:
handleCloseGrid = (e) => {
console.log('In handleCloseWidget!!!!!');
this.setState({
showWidget: !this.state.showWidget,
widgetButtonEl: null
});
}
So now clicking outside grid is fine and closes the Grid. However, now, clicking on the button that should toggle the Grid being show (this.state.showWidget), causes the handleCloseGrid to fire. And then afterwards the handleShowGrid would fire. Is there anyway to not have the handleCloseGrid handler to fire? It seems like an issue with propagation and event bubbling. Have tried different things like e.stopPropagation() but to no avail.

How to only activate the onclick event of the top level button when having nested buttons? React.js

I'll try to explain this further.
I have a material-UI List component, with ListItem component that is set to button=true thus makes the whole item a button.
inside I added that inside him I have a FontAwesomeIcon.
To hide the button I put it's style to visibility: "hidden" and the Icon to visibility: "visible" so it would be available to see. (little bad practice maybe, but did not though of another way).
Now, when someone presses the ListItem anywhere without the Icon, it activates the onClick of that ListItem - as it should, and it's good! but, when pressing the area where the Icon is, both OnClick events of the "Icon button" and the ListItem is called - as it should, but I don't want it to be that way.
Now, is there a way to make the small "nested" button to be "on top" of the parent button so only it's event would be called?
If not, is there a way to know from the parent onClick that it's pressed on the area without the Icon so I would call different functions based on the click area?
Also, any other idea will be gladly received as I am new to react and web in general and I'd want to have the best practices solutions.
Many thanks :)
This is unrelated to React. In JavaScript you can use event.stopPropagation() method to stop the propogation of event at any level.
https://www.w3schools.com/JSREF/event_stoppropagation.asp#:~:text=Definition%20and%20Usage,capturing%20down%20to%20child%20elements.
Here is the example of how you would do it in React
import React from "react";
import "./styles.css";
export default function App() {
const parentButtonHandler = () => {
console.log("parent");
};
const childButtonHandler = (e) => {
console.log("child");
e.stopPropagation();
};
return (
<div className="App">
<button onClick={parentButtonHandler}>
Hello CodeSandbox
<button onClick={childButtonHandler}>
Start editing to see some magic happen!
</button>
</button>
</div>
);
}
If I understand your question correctly, you got that issue because the event is bubbled.
You can read this for more information: https://javascript.info/bubbling-and-capturing
To solve it, you can use event.stopPropagation() in the event handler for click event on "Icon button", so the event wont be bubbled to the parent element which is the ListItem
I think it's bad idea to make nested buttons. it's harder to support and it makes your layout messy.
In your case you can do it based on few ideas:
You have two separate buttons in your ListItem
export const Comp = () => {
return (
<ListItem>
<button onClick={handleOnMainClick}>mainButton</button>
<button onClick={handleOnSecondClick}>secondButton</button>
</ListItem>
)
}
But it works if your buttons on left side or right side only.
If you want to place your functional button whatether you want you can place it by position
export const Comp = () => {
return (
<ListItem styles={{position: 'relative'}}>
<button onClick={handleOnMainClick}>mainButton</button>
<button
styles={{position: 'absolute', top: '50%', left: '50%'}}
onClick={handleOnSecondClick}>
secondButton
</button>
</ListItem>
)
}

Vue & Quasar - Sharing a custom dialog component

I've looked at Reuse Quasar Dialog plugin with custom component on another component that does not have any answers and I have close to the same question but I have structured code a bit different. On my parent form I have
<q-dialog prevent-close v-model="showProfileForm" class="profileDialog">
<profile-dialog></profile-dialog>
</q-dialog>
and my profile-dialog is a form that is a simple template
<template>
<q-stepper
It seems that if I wrap the component on the parent page the dialog will open BUT I cannot pass in
prevent-close
or add a
#hide
I need to know when the dialog form is closed to save changes or prevent closing unless a button is clicked. Even adding the prevent-close in the parent does not work
<q-dialog prevent-close v-model="showProfileForm" class="profileDialog">
<profile-dialog></profile-dialog>
</q-dialog>
If I create the form inside a q-dialog, so it becomes a dialog inside a dialog and set the v-modal to true when it closes the parent form still has the slight gray overlay until the page is clicked and the form will not open a second time
You can use the emit event in profile dialog for pass event so that you know that form is submitted or not and use persistent so that User cannot dismiss Dialog if clicking outside of it or hitting ESC key; Also, an app route change won't dismiss it.
<q-btn v-if="step == 4" #click="FinishClick" color="primary" label="Finish"/>
methods: {
FinishClick() {
alert("Finish Click From Profile Dialog");
this.$emit("profile_dialog_emmit",{'MSG':'TestData'})
}
}
<profile-dialog #profile_dialog_emmit="my_fun($event)"></profile-dialog>
In Parent Component.
methods:{
my_fun(data){
console.log("Assad");
alert("From Index Check Console for Data");
console.log(data)
this.showProfileForm=false;
}
}
Demo - https://codesandbox.io/s/clever-kilby-qf1gz
Go to the final step and click on finish will trigger the event and you can see an alert from the parent component and check the console for data displayed from the parent component.

react-router stops routing after rerender from a concurrent event

I have a dropdown that is controlled via state.
Clicking on a button toggles it on. Clicking outside toggles it off.
The dropdown contains Links within my application, however, when the dropdown is being toggled off, route transition is prevented.
If autohide is disabled, routing works fine, however, it is desired to also hide the dropdown on route transition.
Please explain to me what is going on
Also please help me fix it
class App extends React.Component {
state = {
isNavShown: false
}
showNav = () => this.setState({isNavShown: true})
hideNav = event => {
// ... some more logic ...
// don't hide if autoHide is disabled
if (autoHide.checked === false) return
this.setState({isNavShown: false})
}
componentDidMount() {
document.addEventListener('mousedown', this.hideNav)
}
// ...
}
I have also tried wrapping the setState in setTimeout, but to no avail.
Here is the full jsfiddle https://jsfiddle.net/nimareq/1kh47uey/
So the issue is that your hideNav function is hiding the nav if the user clicks anywhere outside of show navigation button and the checkbox you built. However, if the user clicks on the nav itself it will be hidden before you have a chance to navigate the user.
Essentially, the browser will detect the click event listener you made on the document before it bubbles down to the anchor tag click. By the time it gets there the anchor tag is gone. (I hope that makes sense lol)
Anyways you can easily solve it by adding the following to your hideNav function:
if(nav.contains(event.target)) return;
Also don't forget to add the id="nav" on your navbar or whatever else you want to call it. This way the navbar won't disappear when u click on the navbar. It will still disappear if you click off the navbar.

Stop click on child calling method on parent - React/JavaScript

I have a modal in React. When you click the background of the modal, the modal should close. The way I have it set up right now, if you click inside* the modal, it closes as well. Because the modal is inside the background>
handleClose(e) {
e.stopPropagation();
this.props.history.push('/business/dashboard')
}
render() {
return (
<Background onClick={e => this.handleClose(e)} name="BACKGROUND">
<Container onClick={console.log("IT CLICKED")} to={'/business/dashboard'} name="CONTAINER">
....
When I click on Container, the onClick event for Background gets called. I don't want this to happen. This is a form that users will be clicking on all the time. I need the modal to only close when you click outside the modal on Background.
I think it will work if you use stopPropagation on the Container click event instead of the Background. Just make sure that you use the onClick prop in your Container component.
class App extends React.Component {
handleClose = (e) => {
e.stopPropagation();
this.props.history.push("/business/dashboard");
};
render() {
return (
<Background onClick={this.handleClose} name="BACKGROUND">
<Container
onClick={e => e.stopPropagation()}
to={"/business/dashboard"}
name="CONTAINER"
/>
</Background>
);
}
}
EDIT: On rereading the question, the other answer is a simpler solution in this case.
The behavior you want to achieve is generally referred to as an "outside click" handler. There are a couple of decent libraries to handle this [0] and their source is pretty short and readable if you want to know how it works in detail. [1]
The general idea is to register a click event handler on the document in a HOC and check whether the event.target originates inside a React ref via Element.contains browser functionality. If is is, the handler will not be executed.
