[React] Create a Query Parameter Modal Route with React Router

时间：2023-12-26 15:18:37

Routes are some times better served as a modal. If you have a modal (like a login modal) that needs to be routeable and appear on all pages you may need to use query params. Will explore how to render a route all the time and use query params to control when it's content renders.

Modal should be created as a 'Portal':

<body>

    <noscript>You need to enable JavaScript to run this app.</noscript>

    <div id="root"></div>

    <div id="modal_root"></div>

</body>
import React, { Component } from "react";

import { createPortal } from "react-dom";

const modalStyle = {

  position: "fixed",

  left: 0,

  top: 0,

  bottom: 0,

  right: 0,

  backgroundColor: "rgba(0,0,0,.2)",

  color: "#FFF",

  fontSize: "40px",

};

export default class Modal extends Component {

  render() {

    return createPortal(

      <div style={modalStyle} onClick={this.props.onClick}>

        {this.props.children}

      </div>,

      document.getElementById("modal_root"),

    );

  }

}

If we want to show the Modal everywhere in the page, we need to declear the Router outside 'Switch' component:

import React from "react";

import ReactDOM from "react-dom";

import "./index.css";

import { BrowserRouter, Switch, Route } from "react-router-dom";

import HomePage from "./pages/home";

import ProfilePage from "./pages/profile";

import Login from "./pages/login";

const routes = (

  <BrowserRouter>

    <Switch>

      <Route exact path="/" component={HomePage} />

      <Route path="/profile" component={ProfilePage} />

    </Switch>

    <Route path="/" component={Login} />

  </BrowserRouter>

);

ReactDOM.render(routes, document.getElementById("root"));

For all the routes re-render, Login component will be shown.

Inside Login componnet, control the component show / hide by query param:

import React, { Component } from "react";

import Modal from "./modal";

export default class LoginPage extends Component {

  render() {

    let params = new URLSearchParams(this.props.location.search);

    return (

      params.get("login") && (

        <Modal

          onClick={() => {

            this.props.history.push(this.props.location.pathname);

          }}

        >

          <div

            style={{

              display: "flex",

              alignItems: "center",

              justifyContent: "center",

              height: "100%",

            }}

          >

            Login modal

          </div>

        </Modal>

      )

    );

  }

}

Using:

<Link to={{ pathname: "/", search: "?login=true" }}>Login</Link>
