Easier way to to disable link in React?

I want to disable Link in some condition:

render() {
    return (<li>{this.props.canClick ? 
        <Link to="/">Test</Link> : 
        <a>Test</a>}
    </li>)  
}

<Link> must specify to, so I can not disable <Link> and I have to use <a>

Solution

  • You could just set set the link's onClick property: 

    render () {
  return(
    <li> 
    { 
      this.props.notClickable
      ? <Link to="/" className="disabledCursor" onClick={ (event) => event.preventDefault() }>Link</Link>
      : <Link to="/" className="notDisabled">Link</Link>
    }
    </li>
  );
};

    Then disable the hover effect via css using the cursor property.

    .disabledCursor { 
  cursor: default;
}

    I think that should do the trick?
