set-state-function-mixin

Shortcut for writing small functions to set state

Install

npm install set-state-function-mixin

Example

How many times have you written this code?

var MyModal = require('./SomeModal');

React.createClass({
  getInitialState: function () {
    return {
      modalOpen: false
    };
  },
  
  openModal: function () {
    if (this.isMounted()) {
      this.setState({
        modalOpen: true
      });
    }
  },
  
  closeModal: function () {
    if (this.isMounted()) {
      this.setState({
        modalOpen: false
      });
    }
  },
  
  render: function () {
    return React.DOM.div({}, [
      React.DOM.button({ onClick: this.openModal }),
      MyModal({ onClose: this.closeModal })
    ]);
  }
});

Instead, write this code using this mixin

var MyModal = require('./SomeModal');

React.createClass({
  mixins: [ require('set-state-function-mixin') ]
  getInitialState: function () {
    return {
      modalOpen: false
    };
  },
  
  render: function () {
    return React.DOM.div({}, [
      React.DOM.button({ onClick: this.setStateFunction('modalOpen', true) }),
      MyModal({ onClose: this.setStateFunction('modalOpen', false) })
    ]);
  }
});

Or pass an object to the first argument to set multiple state variables

this.setStateFunction({ modalOpen: true, viewingModal: true })
