I'm starting with an existing project called react-burger-menu.
https://github.com/negomi/react-burger-menu
It uses a hamburger menu sidebar for navigation. Unfortunately, the demo code does not show how to actually go to a specific clicked item page. Here is the example.js code that returns the sidebar menu:
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import BurgerMenu from 'react-burger-menu';
import classNames from 'classnames';
import { FontAwesomeIcon } from '@fortawesome/react-fontawesome'
import { faHospitalUser,faHouseMedical } from '@fortawesome/free-solid-svg-icons'
class MenuWrap extends Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
hidden: false
};
}
componentDidUpdate(prevProps) {
const sideChanged =
this.props.children.props.right !== prevProps.children.props.right;
if (sideChanged) {
this.setState({ hidden: true });
setTimeout(() => {
this.show();
}, this.props.wait);
}
}
show() {
this.setState({ hidden: false });
}
render() {
let style;
if (this.state.hidden) {
style = { display: 'none' };
}
return (
<div style={style} className={this.props.side}>
{this.props.children}
</div>
);
}
}
class Demo extends Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
currentMenu: 'scaleDown',
side: 'left'
};
}
changeMenu(menu) {
this.setState({ currentMenu: menu });
}
changeSide(side) {
this.setState({ side });
}
getItems() {
let items = [
<a key="0" href="">
<FontAwesomeIcon icon={faHouseMedical} fixedWidth/>
<span>Home</span>
</a>,
<a key="1" href="">
<FontAwesomeIcon icon={faHospitalUser} fixedWidth/>
<span>Medical History</span>
</a>,
];
return items;
}
getMenu() {
const Menu = BurgerMenu[this.state.currentMenu];
return (
<MenuWrap wait={20} side={this.state.side}>
<Menu
id={this.state.currentMenu}
pageWrapId={'page-wrap'}
outerContainerId={'outer-container'}
right={this.state.side === 'right'}
>
{this.getItems()}
</Menu>
</MenuWrap>
);
}
render() {
const buttons = Object.keys(this.props.menus).map(menu => {
return (
<a
key={menu}
className={classNames({
'current-demo': menu === this.state.currentMenu
})}
onClick={this.changeMenu.bind(this, menu)}
>
{this.props.menus[menu].buttonText}
</a>
);
});
// The following returns hard-coded html. How to return code depending on what is clicked?
return (
<div id="outer-container" style={{ height: '100%' }}>
{this.getMenu()}
<main id="page-wrap">
<h1>
<a href="https://github.com/negomi/react-burger-menu">
react-burger-menu
</a>
</h1>
<h2 className="description">
An off-canvas sidebar React component with a collection of effects
and styles using CSS transitions and SVG path animations.
</h2>
<nav className="demo-buttons">{buttons}</nav>
</main>
</div>
);
}
}
const menus = {
slide: { buttonText: 'Slide', items: 1 },
scaleDown: { buttonText: 'Scale Down', items: 2 },
};
ReactDOM.render(<Demo menus={menus} />, document.getElementById('app'));
It contains two classes, MenuWrap and Demo. The Demo class's render() function returns hard-coded html. How to go to a different page depending on what is clicked in the menu?
Typically react uses a <Router> to do that in the index.js or app.js file, as in:
import { BrowserRouter as Router, Route, Link, Routes } from "react-router-dom";
I can't figure out how to reconcile these two methods. Can someone clarify?
I think you should try this. I hope this would help you
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import { BrowserRouter as Router, Route, Link, Routes } from "react-router-dom";
import { Menu } from './Menu';
import { faClinic, faFileMedical } from '@fortawesome/free-solid-svg-icons';
import { FontAwesomeIcon } from '@fortawesome/react-fontawesome';
// Example components for different pages
const Dashboard = () => <div>Dashboard Page</div>;
const HealthRecords = () => <div>Health Records Page</div>;
class MenuWrap extends Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = { hidden: false };
}
componentDidUpdate(prevProps) {
const sideChanged = this.props.children.props.right !== prevProps.children.props.right;
if (sideChanged) {
this.setState({ hidden: true });
setTimeout(() => { this.show(); }, this.props.wait);
}
}
show() {
this.setState({ hidden: false });
}
render() {
const style = this.state.hidden ? { display: 'none' } : {};
return <div style={style} className={this.props.side}>{this.props.children}</div>;
}
}
class App extends Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = { currentMenu: 'slide', side: 'left' };
}
changeMenu(menu) {
this.setState({ currentMenu: menu });
}
changeSide(side) {
this.setState({ side });
}
getItems() {
return [
<Link key="0" to="/">
<FontAwesomeIcon icon={faClinic} fixedWidth />
<span>Dashboard</span>
</Link>,
<Link key="1" to="/health-records">
<FontAwesomeIcon icon={faFileMedical} fixedWidth />
<span>Health Records</span>
</Link>,
];
}
getMenu() {
const MenuComponent = Menu[this.state.currentMenu];
return (
<MenuWrap wait={20} side={this.state.side}>
<MenuComponent
id={this.state.currentMenu}
pageWrapId={'page-wrap'}
outerContainerId={'outer-container'}
right={this.state.side === 'right'}
>
{this.getItems()}
</MenuComponent>
</MenuWrap>
);
}
render() {
const buttons = Object.keys(this.props.menus).map(menu => (
<a
key={menu}
className={classNames({ 'current-demo': menu === this.state.currentMenu })}
onClick={() => this.changeMenu(menu)}
>
{this.props.menus[menu].buttonText}
</a>
));
return (
<Router>
<div id="outer-container" style={{ height: '100%' }}>
{this.getMenu()}
<main id="page-wrap">
<h1>

</h1>
<h2 className="description">

</h2>
<nav className="demo-buttons">{buttons}</nav>
<Routes>
<Route path="/" element={<Dashboard />} />
<Route path="/health-records" element={<HealthRecords />} />
</Routes>
</main>
</div>
</Router>
);
}
}
const menus = {
slide: { buttonText: 'Slide', items: 1 },
scaleDown: { buttonText: 'Scale Down', items: 2 },
};
ReactDOM.render(<App menus={menus} />, document.getElementById('app'));
