MDBReact - SideNavCat - how to make onClick handler work?

Topic: MDBReact - SideNavCat - how to make onClick handler work?

tomasz1253 pro premium asked 3 years ago

Hi! I want to add some additional behaviour to SideNavCat in MDBReact. Here is code fragment from SideNav MDBReact example:

<SideNavCat id="instruction-cat" name="Instruction" icon="hand-pointer-o" href="#">
  <SideNavLink>For bloggers</SideNavLink>
<SideNavLink>For authors</SideNavLink>
</SideNavCat>

I want to add onClick handler, (example below) to SideNavCat but its not even triggered :/

<SideNavCat onClick={this.exampleFunction} id="instruction-cat" name="Instruction" icon="hand-pointer-o" href="#">
  <SideNavLink>For bloggers</SideNavLink>
  <SideNavLink>For authors</SideNavLink>
</SideNavCat>

When I'm clicking on SideNavCat this.exampleFunction is not being fired. How to fire onClick before SideNavLinks inside SideNavCat appear? I also find out that the same goes for SideNavLink onClick handler on SideNavLinks doesnt work. How can I make it work also for SideNavLinks?

<SideNavLink to="/route4">Link</SideNavLink>

it is the react-routers <Link> component.

You can use <SideNavItem> which renders simple <a> component, or you can add 'tag' property which will replace this component.

<SideNavItem onClick={this.sideNavItemClick}>Instruction</SideNavItem>

Hello, Those components have onClick handler already set (open/close functionality), so you can't add another one. What do you want to achieve? Maybe we will find another solution? Best regards, Jakub

I want to change component State in which SideNav is. For example calculate something and show in diffrent component. Is it possible to fire some kind of Event from them? If not - then how to change route or/and (if possible) hash value? Will it be possible in future releases? Best, Tomek
