How i can destructuring {this.props.children}?

Viewed 7767

I want to add a background to my mobile app but when i use "this.props.children" eslint say me "Must use destructuring props assignment". Why i can destructuring this props ?

This my code ,

export default class WallPaper extends Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <ImageBackground
        source={backgroundimg}
        imageStyle={{ opacity: 0.9 }}
        style={styles.container}
      >
        {this.props.children}
      </ImageBackground>
    );
  }
}

when i use this code

export default class WallPaper extends Component {
  render() {
    const { children } = this.props;
    return (
      <ImageBackground
        source={backgroundimg}
        imageStyle={{ opacity: 0.9 }}
        style={styles.container}
      >
        {children}
      </ImageBackground>
    );
  }
}

i have this error "'children' is missing in props validation" error

when i use this code ,

export default class WallPaper extends Component {
  render() {
     (this.props) => {
    return (
      <ImageBackground
        source={backgroundimg}
        imageStyle={{ opacity: 0.9 }}
        style={styles.container}
      >
        {props.children}
      </ImageBackground>
    );
    }
  }
}

i have this error, enter image description here

thank you in advance for your help !

The answers are missing for functional component cases. children is just a prop passed to the component. In order to use it like you are using props.url you need to add it to that list so it can be "pulled out" of the props object.

export const Welcome = ({name, hero, children}) => {
        return (
        <div>
           <h1> Class Component with {name} as {hero} </h1>
            {children}
        </div>
        )
    }

You could try the following to destructure children from this.props:

export default class WallPaper extends Component {
  render() {
    const { children } = this.props;

    return (
      <ImageBackground
        source={backgroundimg}
        imageStyle={{ opacity: 0.9 }}
        style={styles.container}
      >
        {children}
      </ImageBackground>
    );
  }
}

It looks like your project may require propTypes for this component. Try the following to add a children prop type. Note, you will need to install package prop-types:

// ... 
import PropTypes from 'prop-types';

class WallPaper extends Component {      
  render() {
    const { children } = this.props;

    return (
      <ImageBackground
        source={backgroundimg}
        imageStyle={{ opacity: 0.9 }}
        style={styles.container}
      >
        {children}
      </ImageBackground>
    );
  }
}

WallPaper.propTypes = {
  children: PropTypes.node // or PropTypes.node.isRequired to make it required
};

export default WallPaper;

Hopefully that helps!

export default class WallPaper extends Component {
  render() {
     (this.props) => {
    return (
      <ImageBackground
        source={backgroundimg}
        imageStyle={{ opacity: 0.9 }}
        style={styles.container}
      >
        {props.children}
      </ImageBackground>
    );
    }
  }
}

This is due to linting rule.

You can turn off rule if you don't want destructing.

If you want than you can do it like this.

export default class WallPaper extends Component {
  render() {
  const {children} = this.props
    return (
      <ImageBackground
        source={backgroundimg}
        imageStyle={{ opacity: 0.9 }}
        style={styles.container}
      >
        {this.props.children}
      </ImageBackground>
    );
  }
}

and for the class component:

export class Welcome extends Component {
    render(){
        const {name, hero, children} = this.props
        return (
            <div>
                <h1> Class Component with {name} as {hero} </h1>
                {children}
            </div>
            )
    }
}
