I am working on a blog frontpage where I would like to remove a particular post by pressing a delete button through simple setState command. my Blog.js is Below:
import React from "react";
const BlogBody = props => {
return props.postData.map(post => {
const { title, author, content } = post;
return (
<React.Fragment key={post}>
<h2>{title}</h2>
<h5>
<i>{author}</i>
</h5>
<h3>{content}</h3>
<br />
<button onClick={()=>props.removePosts(post)}>Delete</button>
<hr />
</React.Fragment>
);
});
};
const Blog=(props)=>{
const {postData,removePosts}=props;
return(
<div>
<BlogBody postData={postData} removePosts={removePosts}/>
</div>
)
}
export default Blog;
the App.js code is given below:
import React,{Component} from 'react';
import Blog from './Blog'
import Createpost from './Createpost'
class App extends Component {
state={
user:'ali',
posts:[
{
title:'First',
author:'Written by Ali',
content:'first Post',
},
{
title:'Second',
author:'Written by Ali',
content:'Second Post',
},
{
title:'third',
author:'Written by Ali',
content:'third Post',
},
]
};
removePosts=index=>{
const{posts}=this.state
this.setState({
posts:posts.filter((post,i)=>{
return i!==index
}),
})
}
render(){
const {posts}=this.state
return (
<div style={{padding:8}} className="container">
<Createpost/>
<hr/>
<Blog postData={posts} removePosts={this.removePosts}/>
</div>
);
}
}
export default App ;
and Createpost.js is give below:
import React, {Component} from 'react'
class Createpost extends Component {
render() {
return (
<form onSubmit={e=>e.preventDefault()}>
<div>
<label htmlFor="create-title">Title:</label>
<input type="text" name="create-title" id="create-title"/>
</div>
<textarea/>
<input type="submit" value="Create"/>
</form>
);
}
}
export default Createpost;
there is no error showing and the page is showing the way I wanted right now after excuting npm start. but the problem is when I press delete button, it's not working which means no post row is deducted. I don't know what went wrong. please help me on this. I have started it very recently.... so still I have lot more thing to learn... if you explain it further it will be a great help for me understand also.
thanx in advance
The problem is with the removePost function Because you are passing whole post object
<button onClick={()=>props.removePosts(post)}>Delete</button>
but when you are checking you are checking with the index
return i!==index
**Try this : **
return props.postData.map((post, index) => {
const { title, author, content } = post;
return (
<React.Fragment key={post}>
<h2>{title}</h2>
<h5>
<i>{author}</i>
</h5>
<h3>{content}</h3>
<br />
<button onClick={()=>props.removePosts(index)}>Delete</button>
<hr />
</React.Fragment>
);
});
Pass the index to the function as parameter
