Element Variables
function UserGreeting(props) {
return <h1>Welcome back!</h1>;
}
function GuestGreeting(props) {
return <h1>Please sign up.</h1>;
}
function LoginButton(props) {
return (
<button onClick={props.onClick}>
Login
</button>
);
}
function LogoutButton(props) {
return (
<button onClick={props.onClick}>
Logout
</button>
);

class LoginControl extends React.Component {

<Greeting isLoggedIn={isLoggedIn} />

</div>

Inline If with Logical && Operator
It works because in JavaScript, true && expression always evaluates to expression
and false && expression always evaluates to false
function Mailbox(props) {
const unreadMessages = props.unreadMessages;
return (
<div>
<h1>Hello!</h1>
{unreadMessages.length > 0 &&
<h2>
You have {unreadMessages.length} unread messages.
</h2>
}
</div>
);
}
const messages = ['React', 'Re: React', 'Re:Re: React'];
ReactDOM.render(
<Mailbox unreadMessages={messages} />,
document.getElementById('root')
);
button = isLoggedIn ? (
<LogoutButton onClick={this.handleLogoutClick} />
) : (
<LoginButton onClick={this.handleLoginClick} />
)
Preventing Component from Rendering
return null instead of its render output
function WarningBanner(props) {
if (!props.warn) {
return null;
}
return (
<div className="warning">
Warning!
</div>
);
}
class Page extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {showWarning: true};
this.handleToggleClick = this.handleToggleClick.bind(this);
}
handleToggleClick() {
this.setState(state => ({
showWarning: !state.showWarning
}));
}
render() {
return (
<div>
<WarningBanner warn={this.state.showWarning} />
<button onClick={this.handleToggleClick}>
{this.state.showWarning ? 'Hide' : 'Show'}
</button>
</div>
);
}
}
ReactDOM.render(
<Page />,
document.getElementById('root')
);
