I am a bit new to React. I have a situation where I need to hide some navigation bar links in some components where as in the rest, I want to display them. Actually been using react router V4 and typescript.
Need to hide page1 and page2 links when it comes to signup and login pages.
Say I also have a getstarted page that loads when the application is launched , here also I would like to hide the links.
Show the links in rest of the components.
Help would be appreciated
import * as React from 'react';
import NavBar from './NavBar';
import SignUp from './SignUp';
import Page1 from './Page1';
import Page2 from './Page2';
import Login from './Login';
import GetStarted from './GetStarted';
import { BrowserRouter as Router , Switch , Route} from 'react-router-dom';
const NotFound = () => (
<div><h1>404.. This page is not found!</h1></div>
);
export default class App extends React.Component<{}, {}> {
render() {
return(
<Router>
<div className='container'>
<NavBar/>
<div className='body'>
<Switch>
<Route exact={true} path='/' component={GetStarted}/>
<Route path='/getstarted' component={GetStarted}/>
<Route path='/signup' component={SignUp}/>
<Route path='/login' component={Login}/>
<Route path='/page1' component={Page1}/>
<Route path='/page2' component={Page2}/>
<Route component={NotFound} />
</Switch>
</div>
</div>
</Router>
)
}
}
import React from 'react';
import { Link } from 'react-router-dom';
export default class NavBar extends React.Component<{}, {}> {
render() {
return (
<nav className="nav">
/*some logo will be displayed here followed by the links*/
<div className="container">
<ul className="item-wrapper">
<li>
<Link to="/page1">Link 1</Link>
</li>
<li>
<Link to="/page2">Link 2</Link>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</nav>
);
}
}
Since you provide a login
function, surely somewhere in your state you store the information whether a user is logged in or not. Use this state to determine whether to display the links:
import React from 'react';
import { Link } from 'react-router-dom';
export default class NavBar extends React.Component<{}, {}> {
render() {
return (
<nav className="nav">
<div className="container">
{user.loggedIn /* boolean indicating whether user is logged in */ &&
<ul className="item-wrapper">
<li>
<Link to="/page1">Link 1</Link>
</li>
<li>
<Link to="/page2">Link 2</Link>
</li>
</ul>
}
</div>
</nav>
);
}
}
