I am new to React and I don’t know how to overcome the below situation.
Let say I have to display a table.In Table <td> i have one dropdown which I got from my child component.And also have some <div> next to the dropdown.
So,for each dropdown change, i have to bind some html into that <div>.Below line is working for very first dropdown change.
ReactDOM.render(myHtml, document.getElementById(myID));
So For a second time it is not render the new html.
Kindly correct me If I did anything wrong and give me some suggestion to overcome the above issue.
Thanks in Advance.
class Home extends Component{
state = {
tableDetails:'',
};
LoadTableDetails = () => {
const getUrl = "Some API Url";
let dd= fetch(getUrl);
dd.then(response => {
return response.json();
}).then(items => {
var body = this.getTableBody(items);
this.setTableDetails(body);
});
}
getTableBody(items){
let body ;
if(items != null){
body = items.map((folder,index) =>
<tr key={index}>

<MyDropDown fileNames={folder.FileNames} folderFiles={folder.FolderFiles} id={folder.FolderName.replace(/ /g,'_')} setSelectedFile = {this.setSelectedFile}/> // Here I get dropdown selected value and see setSelectedFile method
</td>

Answer
I got my Answer.We have to use our states to update the values and not html.
class Home extends Component{
state = {
tableDetails:'',
dropdownDetails:''
};
LoadTableDetails = () => {
const getUrl = "Some API Url";
let dd= fetch(getUrl);
dd.then(response => {
return response.json();
}).then(items => {
this.setState({
tableDetails:items
});
});
}
getTableDetails = (items)=>{
return (<div className="container" >
<h2 class="text-center">Server Details</h2>
<table class="table">
<thead class="thead-dark">
<tr>
<th scope="col">Folder</th>
<th scope="col">Config Files</th>
<th scope="col">Config Section</th>
<th scope="col">App Settings</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
{
items.map((folder,index) =>{
return (<tr key={index}>
<td>{folder.FolderName}</td>
<td>
<MyDropDown fileNames={folder.FileNames} folderFiles={folder.FolderFiles} id=index setSelectedFile ={this.setSelectedFile}/>
</td>
<td>
<div>
{this.getConfigHtml(this.state.dropdownDetails)}
</div>
</td>
<td></td>
</tr>)
})
}
</tbody>
</table>
</div>);
}
getConfigHtml =(val)=>{
return (
<div>
<MyDropDown fileNames={val.data} path={val.path} setSelectedFile = {this.getConfigSectionDetails}/>
</div>
);
}
setSelectedFile = (val) =>{
const getUrl = 'my url';
let loadItems = fetch(getUrl);
loadItems.then(response=>{
return response.json();
}).then(data=>{
let val={
data:data,
path:val.path
};
this.setState({dropdownDetails:val});
});
}
render(){
return (
<div class="mt-4">
<div class="input-group-append">
<button class="btn btn-info" type="button" onClick={this.LoadTableDetails}>Load Table Details</button>
</div>
{this.getTableDetails(this.state.tableDetails)}
</div>
);
}
}
export default Home;
