Pass props for only one item in React

792 views Asked by At

I am building a blog app using React. I have an Index, Feed, and Post components. My Feed comp dynamically generates a list of posts. What I want is to click on one post in the Feed and have the page render only that post. I can't figure out how to capture/pass along the props info for only the post clicked to be rendered.

For brevity here's only the relevant code:

    this.state = {
  view: 'feed',
  blogs: []
}

  changeView(option) {
this.setState({
  view: option
});

}

renderView() { const {view} = this.state;

if (view === 'feed') {
  return <Feed handleClick={() => this.changeView('anypostview') blog={this.state.blogs} 
  view={this.state.view}/>
} else {
  return <Post blogs={this.state.blogs} view={this.state.view}/>
}

}

My click event is registering, but I don't know how to capture the props info for only the post that was clicked and send it to the Post component.

During click the specific post, pass the post to the handleClick and then set the state of the parent component which in this is () => this.changeView('anypostview'), change it to (individualPost?: Post) => this.changeView('anypostview', individualPost) and use that, in that case, you will not need to define or use the state view

this code will return you blank blog array .İ think you can write another function with setState for blog array

>     this.setState({
>       blog: blog,
>     });   };

when you add new things in blog .Call this function and show on your page .
