I am new to React Native I am making a sample app where the user can login and register for a new account.
I have two React classes,
One is the main class index.ios.js and another class called register.js. In the index class I am saying if the variable register is true render the register screen.
In the class register.js I am trying to set the variable register to false using this.setState({register:false}) but it is not causing the re render of the parent (index.ios.js). Is the a super(state) method or something similar that I am missing ? I believe the parent state is not getting the values of the updated register variable.
Here are my classes:
Render inside index.ios.js:
render: function() {
if(this.state.register) {
return this.renderRegisterScreen();
}
else if (this.state.loggedIn) {
return this.userLoggedIn();
}
else {
return this.renderLoginScreen();
}
}
Register.js:
var React = require('react-native');
var {
AppRegistry,
StyleSheet,
Text,
View,
Image,
TouchableHighlight,
TextInput,
} = React;
var Register = React.createClass({
render: function() {
return (
<View style={styles.container}>
<View style={styles.rafitoImage}>
<Image source={require('./logo.png')}></Image>
<Text style={styles.slogan}>Eliminate the need to wait!</Text>
</View>
<View style={styles.bottomSection}>
<View style={styles.username}>
<View style={styles.inputBorder}>
<TextInput placeholder=Username... style={styles.usernameInput} onChangeText={(text) => this.setState({username: text})}/>
</View>
<View style={styles.inputBorder}>
<TextInput password={true} placeholder=Password... style={styles.usernameInput} onChangeText={(text) => this.setState({password: text})}/>
</View>
<View style={styles.inputBorder}>
<TextInput password={true} placeholder=Verify Password... style={styles.usernameInput} onChangeText={(text) => this.setState({verifyPassword: text})}/>
</View>
<View style={styles.inputBorder}>
<TextInput placeholder=Phone.. style={styles.usernameInput} onChangeText={(text) => this.setState({phone: text})}/>
</View>
<View style={styles.inputBorder}>
<TextInput placeholder=Email.. style={styles.usernameInput} onChangeText={(text) => this.setState({email: text})}/>
</View>
<TouchableHighlight style={styles.button}
underlayColor='#f1c40f' onPress={this.register}>
<Text style={styles.buttonText}>Register</Text>
</TouchableHighlight>
<TouchableHighlight style={styles.signUp} onPress={this.resetToLogin}
underlayColor='#ffffff'>
<Text style={styles.signUpText}>Already A Member </Text>
</TouchableHighlight>
</View>
</View>
<View style={styles.copyright}>
</View>
</View>
);
},
resetToLogin: function() {
this.setState({
register: false //I want this to re render the home screen with the variable register as false
});
}
});
var styles = StyleSheet.create({
container: {
flex : 1
},
bottomSection: {
flex: 5,
flexDirection: 'row'
},
button: {
height: 36,
backgroundColor: '#32c5d2',
justifyContent: 'center',
marginTop: 20
},
buttonText: {
fontSize: 18,
color: 'white',
alignSelf: 'center'
},
signUpText: {
color: '#3598dc'
},
signUp: {
alignItems: 'flex-end',
marginTop: 10,
},
username: {
flex: 1,
padding: 5
},
rafitoImage: {
flex: 3,
justifyContent: 'center',
alignItems: 'center',
},
copyright: {
alignItems: 'center'
},
usernameInput: {
height: 36,
marginTop: 10,
marginBottom: 10,
fontSize: 18,
padding: 5
},
copyrightText: {
color: '#cccccc',
fontSize: 12
},
inputBorder: {
borderBottomWidth: 1,
borderBottomColor: '#ececec'
},
slogan: {
color: '#3598dc'
}
});
module.exports = Register;
Attempt 1
As per the answer I added this to my index.ios.js
renderRegisterScreen: function() {
return (
<Register login={this.login}/>
)
}
And I added this to my register.js
<TouchableHighlight style={styles.signUp} onPress={this.props.login}
underlayColor='#ffffff'>
<Text style={styles.signUpText}>Already A Member </Text>
</TouchableHighlight>
But for some reason it does not even go to the register screen anymore, it executes the login function as soon as the register screen renders. What am I missing now ? Please advise.
Thanks
Update
It works when I pass down registered as a property but not when I do not. I would like to understand why if someone could post that.
Thanks
