I have one independent component 'notification' with its own CSS style. I want to show the notification component in my header component but with different styling. I imported the component in the header, but I unable to add style on it. Please help. I didn't want to change the notification component local style as it broke the notification functionality.
Code for importing notification component.
import React from 'react';
import bell from '../../../assets/icons/bell.svg';
import NotificationList from '../notification/NotificationList';
class Search extends React.Component{
constructor()
{
super()
this.state={
notificationStatus:false
}
}
render()
{
const style={
position:'absolute',
top:'70px',
left:'0px',
width:'100%',
height:'auto',
zindex:'2'
}
return(
<div className="col-md-8 col-sm-8">
<div className="row">
<div className="col-md-11 col-sm-11 search-container">
<input type="text" className="form-control" name="search" placeholder="Search" />
<i className="fa fa-search"></i>
</div>
<div className="col-md-1 col-sm-1 bell-container flex all-center relative">
<img src={bell} alt="bell icon" />
</div>
</div>
<NotificationList style={style} className="notification-component" />
</div>
)
}
}
export default Search;
Notification list component
import React from 'react';
class NotificationList extends React.Component{
constructor(props)
{
super(props)
this.state={
}
}
render()
{
const title={
marginBottom:'0px'
}
return(
<div className="col-md-10 col-md-offsest-1 default-shadow offset-md-1 bg-white pd-10-0 border-radius-10">
<div className="row">
<div className="col-md-12 flex pd-10-0 notification-main-block">
<div className="col-md-11">
<p className="paragraph" style={title}>Notification title comes here.</p>
<p className="small-paragraph" style={title}>2 min ago</p>
</div>
</div>
<div className="col-md-12 flex pd-10-0 notification-main-block">
<div className="col-md-11">
<p className="paragraph" style={title}>Notification title comes here.</p>
<p className="small-paragraph" style={title}>2 min ago</p>
</div>
</div>
<div className="col-md-12 flex pd-10-0 notification-main-block">
<div className="col-md-11">
<p className="paragraph" style={title}>Notification title comes here.</p>
<p className="small-paragraph" style={title}>2 min ago</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
)
}
}
export default NotificationList;
I see you have included the style prop in your notification
component,
<NotificationList style={style} className="notification-component" />
But you forgot to apply it again in your own export component Notification list component
(I tend to forget sometime, it happened to the best of us.)
<div style={this.props.style} className="col-md-10 col-md-offsest-1 default-shadow offset-md-1 bg-white pd-10-0 border-radius-10">
I highly recommend styled-components for dealing with this styling stuff. Check it out here
Edited:
After reading again, I see you misunderstand a little bit of the style,
you can apply style on most primitive html component, such as div, span, section and etc
. But when it comes to component, the style actually will not automatically applied, it is purposely designed that way, and the style will be goes to you props
. You have to apply it again.
Example:
const Parent = ()=>{
return (
<div>
<MyCustomChild style={{fontSize:10}}>Some text</MyCustomChild>
</div>
)
}
export const MyCustomChild = (/* Properties */ props)=>
{
const {style, children} = props // extract your 'applied' property
return (
<div style={style /* passing it here */}>
{children}
</div>
)
}
