I want to expand a demo provided by some tutorial about React Design Patterns, subject: Controlled Onboarding Flows, to implement multiple forms on several steps via Onboarding. But unfortunately the tutor did stop at the exciting part when it comes to having two-directional flows. So I'm stuck and don't understand how to select the resp. function (marked with "// HOW TO DECIDE?!" in the 2nd code segment here).
So, every time I hit the prev. button, I receive the "Uncaught TypeError: goToPrevious is not a function" message, because both are defined. Any suggestions on how to handle this?
This is what I got so far. The idea behind this is to get the data from each form within the respo. Step Component and manage it witihin the parent component - which atm happens to be the App.js file.
Any help, tips, additional sources to learn this would be highly appreciated.
This is my template for the resp. controlled form components I want to use:
export const ControlledGenericForm = ({ formData, onChange }) => {
return (
<form>
{Object.keys(formData).map((formElementKey) => (
<input
key={formElementKey}
value={formData[formElementKey]}
type="text"
id={formElementKey}
onInput={(event) => onChange(event.target.id, event.target.value)}
/>
))}
</form>
);
};
That's my controlled Onboarding component, I want to use:
import React from "react";
export const ControlledOnboardingFlow = ({
children,
currentIndex,
onPrevious,
onNext,
onFinish,
}) => {
const goToNext = (stepData) => {
onNext(stepData);
};
const goToPrevious = (stepData) => {
onPrevious(stepData);
};
const goToFinish = (stepData) => {
onFinish(stepData);
};
const currentChild = React.Children.toArray(children)[currentIndex];
if (currentChild === undefined) goToFinish();
// HOW TO DECIDE?!
if (currentChild && onNext)
return React.cloneElement(currentChild, { goToNext });
if (currentChild && onPrevious)
return React.cloneElement(currentChild, { goToPrevious });
return currentChild;
};
And that's the actual use of this two components within my App:
import { useState } from "react";
import { ControlledOnboardingFlow } from "./ControlledComponents/ControlledOnboardingFlow";
import { ControlledGenericForm } from "./ControlledComponents/ControlledGenericForm";
function App() {
const [onboardingData, setOnboardingData] = useState({
name: "Juh",
age: 22,
hair: "green",
street: "Main Street",
streetNo: 42,
city: "NYC",
});
const [currentIndex, setCurrentIndex] = useState(0);
const formDataPartOne = (({ name, age, hair }) => ({ name, age, hair }))(
onboardingData
);
const formDataPartTwo = (({ street, streetNo, city }) => ({
street,
streetNo,
city,
}))(onboardingData);
const onNext = (stepData) => {
setOnboardingData({ ...onboardingData, ...stepData });
setCurrentIndex(currentIndex + 1);
};
const onPrevious = (stepData) => {
setOnboardingData({ ...onboardingData, ...stepData });
setCurrentIndex(currentIndex - 1);
};
const onFinish = () => {
console.log("Finished");
console.log(onboardingData);
};
const handleFormUpdate = (id, value) => {
setOnboardingData({ ...onboardingData, [id]: value });
};
const StepOne = ({ goToPrevious, goToNext }) => (
<>
<h1>Step 1</h1>
<ControlledGenericForm
formData={formDataPartOne}
onChange={handleFormUpdate}
/>
<button onClick={() => goToPrevious(onboardingData)} >
Prev
</button>
<button onClick={() => goToNext(onboardingData)}>Next</button>
</>
);
const StepTwo = ({ goToPrevious, goToNext }) => (
<>
<h1>Step 2</h1>
<ControlledGenericForm
formData={formDataPartTwo}
onChange={handleFormUpdate}
/>
<button onClick={() => goToPrevious(onboardingData)}>Prev</button>
<button onClick={() => goToNext(onboardingData)}>Next</button>
</>
);
const StepThree = ({ goToPrevious, goToNext }) => (
<>
<h1>Step 3</h1>
<h3>
Congrats {onboardingData.name} for being from, {onboardingData.city}
</h3>
<button onClick={() => goToNext(onboardingData)}>Next</button>
</>
);
return (
<ControlledOnboardingFlow
currentIndex={currentIndex}
onPrevious={onPrevious}
onNext={onNext}
onFinish={onFinish}
>
<StepOne />
<StepTwo />
{onboardingData.city === "NYC" && <StepThree />}
</ControlledOnboardingFlow>
);
}
export default App;
