I wanted to implement resizable components in React with React Grid Layout. I played around with it a little bit to understand how it works and then installed it in my project but I can't seem to get it working as my child components don't even have the class react-grid-item.
I am using data-grid to pass the grid props to my child component. I can't see what I am doing wrongly.
import React, {Component} from 'react';
import ChartHolder from '../components/charts/chart-holder';
import RGL, { WidthProvider } from "react-grid-layout";
const ReactGridLayout = WidthProvider(RGL);
class TabContent extends Component {
constructor(props){
super(props);
}
handleChartResize = (layout) => {
console.log('this is the layout', layout);
}
render(){
let tabsChartData = this.props.tabsData.currentActiveTabData[0].data;
let chartData = tabsChartData.map((data, index)=>{
return(
<ChartHolder
key={`${this.props.tabsData.currentActiveTabData[0].tab.id}_${index}`}
id={index}
position={data.position}
/>);
});
return (
<div
className="tab-content"
>
<ReactGridLayout
cols={2}
rowHeight={450}
width={1000}
onLayoutChange={this.handleChartResize}
isDraggable={false}
isResizeable={true}
>
{chartData}
</ReactGridLayout>
</div>
);
}
}
This is the chartHolder component where I add the data-grid:
import React, {Component} from 'react';
import {css} from 'react-emotion';
import GridLoader from '../spinners/grid-loader';
import Plot from 'react-plotly.js';
import _ from 'lodash';
import Chart from './Chart';
import styled from 'styled-components';
const ChartChildGrid = styled.div`
background-color: white;
padding: 5px;
margin: 5px;
`;
class ChartHolder extends Component {
render() {
return(
<ChartChildGrid
index={this.props.id}
draggable={true}
onDragStart={this.handleDragStart}
onDragEnd={this.handleDragEnd}
onDragOver={this.handleDragOver}
onDragLeave={this.handleDragLeave}
onDrop={this.handleDragDrop}
data-grid={this.props.position}
>
<div
className="chart-holder-header"
>
<span
onClick={()=>this.props.handleRemoveChart(this.props.id)}
className="close-tab"
>
×
</span>
</div>
<div className="chart-holder-body" >
{_.isEmpty(this.props.data) && <GridLoader/>}
{
!_.isEmpty(this.props.data) &&
<Chart
data={this.props.data}
width={this.props.width}
/>
}
</div>
</ChartChildGrid>
);
}
}
export default ChartHolder;
I have removed most proprietary part of the code but this is not working as expected because I can't resize the chartHolder component and it doesn't even have any class like cssTransforms and react-resizable like I see in the examples. It does console the right layout as I expect but doesn't seem to be resizable.
I managed to get it working. In case anyone is facing the same challenge, the problem was because for some reason react-grid-layout does not accept customised components. You have to wrap it around a div.
