I am adding Cards dynamically in my React functional component. Cards are stored in State. I map them and give id to each of them. OnClick on those Cards I get their id successfully. Now I want to getElementById to change Card color:
function Clicked(pressedGifId) {
if (pressedGifId === 'correctGif') CorrectMatch();
else WrongMatch();
}
function CorrectMatch(pressedGifId) {
// / THERE I GET Element: null
console.log('Element:', document.getElementById(pressedGifId));
}
function WrongMatch() {
console.log('wrong a match!');
}
export default function GameObject(props) {
const addedToGameGif = [];
const [pressedGifId, gifPressed] = useState(null);
const [photoCards, setPhotoCards] = useState([]);
useEffect(() => {
Clicked(pressedGifId);
}, [pressedGifId]);
// add randomly picked photos to addedToGameGif array
// ...
addedToGameGif.map(gifId =>
photoCards.push(
<Card id={gifId} onClick={() => gifPressed(gifId)}>
text
</Card>,
),
);
return <div>{photoCards}</div>;
}
I tried learning refs but they are only for class components. So how do I reach my element by id in React?
