Disable react native classes on pressing a different class in the same group


I am completely new to react, Using TouchableHighlight, I have created a class,

import React, { Component } from "react";
import { Text, View, Image, TouchableHighlight } from "react-native";
export default class ChooseProComp extends Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <TouchableHighlight
        underlayColor="transparent"
        onPress={this.props.onPress}
        style={{ flex: 1 }}
      >
        <View
          style={{
            marginRight: this.props.mr,
            borderRadius: 3,
            backgroundColor: "#ffffff",
            borderWidth: 0.7,
            borderColor: "#e1e1e1",
          }}
        >
          <View style={{ flexDirection: "row", padding: 8 }}>
            <Image
              style={{
                width: 26,
                height: 26
              }}
              source={this.props.typeImage}
            />
            <Text
              style={{
                fontSize: 13,
                alignSelf: "center",
                marginLeft: 8,
                color: "#737f8d"
              }}
            >
              {this.props.type}
            </Text>
          </View>
        </View>
      </TouchableHighlight>
    );
  }
}

I have imported ChooseProComp class in a different component like this, I am not sure whether I have to add a custom method.

<View style={{ flexDirection: "row", marginBottom: 6 }}>
            <ChooseProComp
              mr={7}
              typeImage={require("../../../Images/homescreen/typeicons/medical/medical.png")}
              type="Medical"
              onPress={() => this.renderType("Medical")
            }
            />

            <ChooseProComp
              typeImage={require("../../../Images/homescreen/typeicons/dental/dental.png")}
              type="Dental"
              onPress={() => this.renderType("Dental")}
            />
          </View>
          <View style={{ flexDirection: "row", marginBottom: 6 }}>
            <ChooseProComp
              mr={7}
              typeImage={require("../../../Images/homescreen/typeicons/homiopathi/homia.png")}
              type="Homeopathy"
              onPress={() => this.renderType("Homeopathy")}
            />

            <ChooseProComp
              typeImage={require("../../../Images/homescreen/typeicons/ayurveda/ayurveda.png")}
              type="Ayurveda"
              onPress={() => this.renderType("Ayurveda")}
            />
          </View>
          <View
            style={{ flexDirection: "row", marginBottom: 6, marginBottom: 25 }}
          >
            <ChooseProComp
              mr={7}
              typeImage={require("../../../Images/homescreen/typeicons/yoga/yoga.png")}
              type="Yogic science"
              onPress={() => this.renderType("Yogic science")}
            />

            <ChooseProComp
              typeImage={require("../../../Images/homescreen/typeicons/unani/unani.png")}
              type="Unani"
              onPress={() => this.renderType("Unani")}
            />
          </View>

So when I select a particular type, like Medical, I want to disable the ChooseProComp classes of other types. Please help me with this. Other types opacity needs to be decreased as well.


Solution

  • Since it seems you just want one item (<ChooseProComp>) to be selected, I suggest you to simply handle the selected one in your main component state, which at the beginning will be undefined:

    state = {
      selected: undefined
    };
    

    Then define onPress function of each <ChooseProComp> like:

      onPress={() => {
        this.renderType("Medical"); // I don't know how this works so I won't modify it
        if(!this.state.selected){ // if the state is undefined, then set it!
          this.setState({
            selected: "Medical"
          })
        }
      }
    

    Then, again for each <ChooseProComp> pass a prop disabled like:

    <ChooseProComp
      ...
      disabled={this.state.selected && this.state.selected !== 'Medical'}
    />
    

    So, in <ChooseProComp> component (class) you can use it in <TouchableHighlight>:

      <TouchableHighlight
        underlayColor="transparent"
        onPress={this.props.onPress}
        style={{ flex: 1 }}
        disabled={this.props.disabled}
      >
    

    Let me know if this fits your question, or I've misunderstood, or it's not clear enough!
