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')
    );
