I have a List and Grid type display. How do I toggle between them in React. I want to toggle between jsGridView and jsListView classes.
This is the vanilla js of the toggling of classes
const listView = document.querySelector('.list-view');
const gridView = document.querySelector('.grid-view');
const projectsList = document.querySelector('.project-boxes');
listView.addEventListener('click', () => {
gridView.classList.remove('active');
listView.classList.add('active');
projectsList.classList.remove('jsGridView');
projectsList.classList.add('jsListView');
});
gridView.addEventListener('click', () => {
gridView.classList.add('active');
listView.classList.remove('active');
projectsList.classList.remove('jsListView');
projectsList.classList.add('jsGridView');
});
** this is my react file where I have the display items and buttons to toggle. how do I implement the toggle event listeners into my react file** How do I toggle between the two classes – jsGridVew and jsListView
const [isActive, setIsActive] = useState(false)
const listToggle = () => {
setIsActive(!isActive)
}
<button key={isActive} className="view-btn list-view" title="List View" onClick={listToggle}>
<i className="fal fa-list-ul fa-2x"></i>
</button>
<button className="view-btn grid-view active" title="Grid View">
<i className="fal fa-th-large fa-2x"></i>
</button>
<div className="project-boxes jsGridView">
{!loading && records.length === 0 ? (<h4 style={{ margin: '20px' }} className='center'>No
records, sorry</h4>) : records.map((record, key) => (
<RecordItem key={key} record={record} isFilter={isFilter} filterByWhat={filterByWhat} />
))}
</div>
EDIT: > I also want to add an ‘active class on each button on click. I’ve tried somethings but it doesn’t work

I am assuming this div is where you want to toggle between jsGridView
and jsListView
<div className="project-boxes jsGridView">
So why not use a state variable to store the class name? Then use the onClick
even to set it.
const [cName, setClassName] = useState('jsGridView');
return (
<Fragment>
<button className="view-btn list-view" title="List View" onClick={() => setClassName('jsListView')}>
List View
</button>
<button className="view-btn list-view" title="Grid View" onClick={() => setClassName('jsGridView')}>
Grid View
</button>
<div className={"project-boxes "+cName}>
{!loading && records.length === 0 ? (<h4 style={{ margin: '20px' }} className='center'>No
records, sorry</h4>) : records.map((record, key) => (
<RecordItem key={key} record={record} isFilter={isFilter} filterByWhat={filterByWhat} />
))}
</div>
</Fragment>
)
So here you set your class to jsGridView
initially so it renders in grid view by default. But you also have 2 buttons that can flip it between grid and list view.
You can also add an active class to the button if you want.
<button className={"view-btn list-view"+(cName === 'jsListView' ? ' active_btn':'')} title="List View" onClick={() => setClassName('jsListView')}>
List View
</button>
<button className={"view-btn list-view"+(cName === 'jsGridView' ? ' active_btn':'')} title="Grid View" onClick={() => setClassName('jsGridView')}>
Grid View
</button>
