I have two modules that I want to share a const array. One of these modules includes both the const array and a component, whilst the other module only includes a component.
This is what I have in module A.
export const ORDER_COLUMNS = [
{ name: 'orderNumber', title: 'Order', width: '10%', type: 'string' },
{ name: 'orderType', title: 'Type', width: '10%', type: 'string' }
];
class OrderGridControl extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
orderColumns: ORDER_COLUMNS
};
}
...
}
export default OrderGridControl;
And in module B.
import {OrderGridControl, ORDER_COLUMNS} from 'component/order-grid-control';
class OrderQueryPage extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
orderColumns: ORDER_COLUMNS
};
console.info(this.state.orderColumns);
}
...
render() {
return (
<div>
<PropertyGrid gridSetup={this.state.orderColumns} />
</div>
);
}
}
When I run this I get the following error. invariant.js:39 Uncaught Invariant Violation: Element type is invalid: expected a string (for built-in components) or a class/function (for composite components) but got: undefined. Check the render method of 'moduleB'.
However, the console.info(this.state.orderColumns)
line logs all the column objects I expect.
Interestingly, if I copy the array into module B and assign the columns in the constructor exactly the same way it seems to work. It only seems to be an issue when I'm importing from the other module.
