react-dom-id

Library to generate unique and deterministic ids for React components.

Install

NPM

npm i --save react-dom-id

Yarn

yarn add react-dom-id

Usage

useId Hook (React Functional Components)

Hook that returns a unique and deterministic id per component or element.

import React from "react";
import { useId } from "react-dom-id";

const RadioButton = ({ children, ...rest }) => {
  const radioButtonId = useId('my-prefix');

  return (
    <div>
      <label htmlFor={radioButtonId}>{children}</label>
      <input id={radioButtonId} type="radio" {...rest} />
    </div>
  );
};

useIdContext Hook (React Functional Components)

Hook that returns some methods provided by the useIdContext. The generateId method could be used to generate unique ids. When we provide a context namespace prefix as param for the useIdContext hook, will override the default namespace prefix, so every time that the generateId is called will be incorporated to the unique ids generated with it.

import React from "react";
import { useIdContext } from "react-dom-id";

const RadioButton = ({ children, ...rest }) => {
  const 
  const { generateId } = useIdContext('my-prefix');
  const id = generateId();

  return (
    <div>
      <label htmlFor={radioButtonId}>{children}</label>
      <input id={id} type="radio" {...rest} />
    </div>
  );
};

withUseIdContext HOC

HOC that integrate some new props to the React Components. The generateId method could be used to generate unique ids. When we provide a context namespace prefix as first param for the withUseIdContext HOC, will override the default namespace prefix, so every time that the generateId is called will be incorporated to the unique ids generated with it.

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { withUseIdContext } from 'react-dom-id';

class RadioButton extends Component {
  render() {
    const { generateId } = this.props.useIdContext;
    const id = generateId();

    <div>
      <label htmlFor={radioButtonId}>{children}</label>
      <input id={id} type="radio" {...rest} />
    </div>
  }
}

export default withUseIdContext('my-prefix')(RadioButton);

generateId(namespacePrefix?: string | undefined): string;

Arguments	Type	Required?	Default	Description
namespacePrefix	string	No	app	Allows provide a custom namespace prefix, can be use to override also the custom namespace prefix in the useIdContext hook and withUseIdContext HOC

Arguments	Type	Required?	Default	Description
namespacePrefixContext	string	No	app	Allows provide a custom context namespace prefix that will be incorporated to the unique ids
Component	React Component	Yes	N/A	Component that will consumer the new feature incorporated by the withUseIdContext HOC
