My first idea was to try to delete items from a nested list. I've started using SectionList and a component that has an useState that manages the data changes of the SectionList. I'm trying to solve it using SectionList but it'd be great to display all possible alternatives (FlatList, ViewList, etc).
I figured out how to delete a whole section list (and his items) but not one item by one. I've read plenty of posts, but I did find nothing related to managing SectionList items. Maybe there's an answer out there for FlatList nested items.
Here I left an example code ready to use (without styles) based on React Native official docs:
import React, { useEffect } from "react";
import { StyleSheet, Text, View, SafeAreaView, SectionList, StatusBar, Button } from "react-native";
import { useState } from "react";
const dataResource = [
{
title: "Main dishes",
data: ["Pizza", "Burger", "Risotto"],
n: "delete",
k: 1
},
{
title: "Sides",
data: ["French Fries", "Onion Rings", "Fried Shrimps"],
n: "delete",
k: 2
},
];
function App() {
const [state, setState] = useState(dataResource)
const Item = ({ dish, obj, i}) => (
<View >
<Text >{dish} </Text>
<Button title={obj.n} onPress={() => {}} /> // add the handler
</View>
);
const SectionComponent = ({ t, k }) => (
<View>
<Text >{t} </Text>
<Button title={'section'} onPress={() => { setState(state.filter(e => e.k != k)) }} />
</View>
);
return (
<SafeAreaView >
<SectionList
sections={state}
keyExtractor={(item, index) => item + index}
renderItem={({ item, section, index}) => <Item dish={item} obj={section} i={index}/>}
renderSectionHeader={({ section: { title, k } }) => <SectionComponent k={k} t={title} />}
/>
</SafeAreaView>
);
}
export default App;
I think how you display the data is trivial. The component you use will just change how you access the data, not how you update it. What you need is helper functions for editing the data. With those in place you can do things like add/remove section items, and editing section items themselves:
import React, { useState } from 'react';
import {
Text,
View,
StyleSheet,
SafeAreaView,
SectionList,
Button,
TextInput,
} from 'react-native';
const dataResource = [
{
title: 'Main dishes',
data: ['Pizza', 'Burger', 'Risotto'],
id: 1,
},
{
title: 'Sides',
data: ['French Fries', 'Onion Rings', 'Fried Shrimps'],
id: 2,
},
];
export default function App() {
const [state, setState] = useState(dataResource);
const [sectionTitle,setSectionTitle] = useState('Drinks')
const editItem = (itemId, newValue) => {
let newState = [...state];
let itemIndex = newState.findIndex((item) => item.id == itemId);
if (itemIndex < 0) return;
newState[itemIndex] = {
...newState[itemIndex],
...newValue,
};
setState(newState);
};
const addSectionItem = (title)=>{
let newState = [...state]
newState.push({
title,
data:[],
id:newState.length+1
})
setState(newState)
}
const removeFood = (itemId, food) => {
let currentItem = state.find((item) => item.id == itemId);
console.log(currentItem);
currentItem.data = currentItem.data.filter((item) => item != food);
console.log(currentItem.data);
editItem(itemId, currentItem);
};
const addFood = (itemId, food) => {
let currentItem = state.find((item) => item.id == itemId);
console.log(currentItem.data);
currentItem.data.push(food);
console.log(currentItem.data);
editItem(itemId, currentItem);
};
const Item = ({ item, section, index }) => {
return (
<View style={styles.row}>
<Text>{item} </Text>
<Button
title={'Delete'}
onPress={() => {
removeFood(section.id, item);
}}
/>
</View>
);
};
const SectionHeader = ({ title, id }) => {
return (
<View style={styles.header}>
<Text style={{ fontSize: 18 }}>{title} </Text>
<Button
title={'X'}
onPress={() => {
setState(state.filter((e) => e.id != id));
}}
/>
</View>
);
};
const SectionFooter = ({ id }) => {
const [text, setText] = useState('');
return (
<View style={[styles.row, styles.inputWrapper]}>
<Text>Add Entry</Text>
<TextInput

onChangeText={setText}

renderItem={Item}
renderSectionHeader={({ section }) => <SectionHeader {...section} />}
renderSectionFooter={({ section }) => <SectionFooter {...section} />}
/>
</View>
</SafeAreaView>
);
}
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
row: {
flexDirection: 'row',
width: '100%',
justifyContent: 'space-between',
padding: 5,
alignItems: 'center',

Here's a demo
I've improved my answer to give a clearer example of how to manipulate SectionList. An example of how to add/delete/modify sections and its data is provided.

if (itemIndex < 0) return;
const section = {
...newState[itemIndex],
...newValue,
};
newState[itemIndex] = section;
setState(newState);
};
const editSectionDataItem = (sectionId, itemId, newValue) => {
const newState = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(state));
const sectionIndex = newState.findIndex(
(section) => section.id == sectionId
);
const section = newState[sectionIndex];
const itemIndex = section.data.findIndex((item) => item.id == itemId);
let item = section.data[itemIndex];
section.data[itemIndex] = {
...item,
...newValue,
};
editSection(sectionId, section);
};
const editSectionTitle = (sectionId, title) =>
editSection(sectionId, { title });
const setSelectSectionItem = (sectionId, itemId, isSelected) => {
editSectionDataItem(sectionId, itemId, { isSelected });
};
const removeSectionDataItem = (sectionId, food) => {
let newState = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(state));
let sectionIndex = newState.findIndex((section) => section.id == sectionId);
let section = newState[sectionIndex];
section.data = section.data.filter((item) => item.title != food);
editSection(sectionId, section);
};
const addSectionDataItem = (sectionId, title, price) => {
let newState = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(state));
let sectionIndex = newState.findIndex((section) => section.id == sectionId);

If I change any state or change the textinput value, if it changed then its scroll to top and leave the textinput. Or If I like one product, its autoamticlly scroll to top if the array is changed. Anyone can help me ?

If you see the docs of RecyclerView, you will see for extendedState prop:
In some cases the data passed at row level may not contain all the info that the item depends upon, you can keep all other info outside and pass it down via this prop. Changing this object will cause everything to re-render. Make sure you don't change it often to ensure performance. Re-renders are heavy.
Based on your code you are updating this prop in button click and text change handler, this will eventually re-render your screen as per the description. So, here you would need to revise your logic to avoid unnecessary re-renders.
I recently just solved this problem in my own project so I'd be glad to help.
The main issue is that you can't have ANY UI related state in your list items. None. You must instead move all of that information to be transferred through props.
I see your only instance of that is through your TextInput. This could be difficult. So my first question would then be: do you really need RecyclerListView? Unless your list is thousands of items long, and items have a complicated/image intensive UI, I'd suggest FlatList for this project.
If you do continue to need RecyclerListView, I'd suggest making it so after a textinput is finished ('finished' as in maybe after a 3 second timer or, when they press 'submit' or something like that), you change the dataProvider's data object. Change the item at the index you need, and then resubmit it with cloneWithRows()
I've had a problem when i used useState(). i have to filter by searched words on my data and list.
i need to define my data list with State (i'd list with searched words) but when i use State, i've taken 'Invalid Hook' error.
let [list, setList] = useState(data);
//called
data={list}
I don't find where i use that , I couldn't fix for 3 days, i can't reach next step :( I hope i'll fix with expert helps...

Thank you
React hooks can be used with functional component only, here you are using class component
You need to understand the difference between functional component and class component first.
Here you are using class component so your state should be manageed in the following way
export default class Flatlistexample extends Component {
constructor(props)
{
this.state={list:[]}
}
}
and to update list
this.setState({list: <array of data>})
If you want to use hooks, your component needs to be changed something like the following:
const Flatlistexample = () => {
//defined below
let [list, setList] = useState(data);
seachFilter = (text) => {
const newData = data.filter(item => {
const listitem = `${item.name.toLowerCase()} ${item.company.toLowerCase()}`;
return listitem.indexOf(text.toLowerCase())
})
};
return (
<SafeAreaView
style={{
flex: 1,
}}>
<FlatList data={list} renderItem={Your flatlist Item}/>
</SafeAreaView>
)
}
export default Flatlistexample

I would like to know if there is an easy way to render dynamicly components into a view depending on a condition, like "userpermission='admin', which then shows more buttons that a user has without this var. something like this:
import React, { useState } from 'react';
import {Button, Text, View, StyleSheet, TouchableOpacity} from 'react-native';
const HomeScreen = ({ navigation }) => {
const userpermission = 'admin';
const adminbutton = '<Button title="Adminstuff"></Button>';
return (
<View style={{ flex: 1, alignItems: 'center', justifyContent: 'center' }}>
<Text>Applikationen</Text>
<TouchableOpacity
style={styles.button}
onPress={() => navigation.navigate('Arbeitszeiterfassung')}>
<Text style={styles.text}>Arbeitszeiterfassung</Text>
</TouchableOpacity>
// HERE I WANT TO RENDER THE BUTTON
// if(userpermission == 'admin'){
// {adminbutton}
// }
</View>
);
};
You can do something like this.
import React, { useState } from 'react';
import {Button, Text, View, StyleSheet, TouchableOpacity} from 'react-native';
const HomeScreen = ({ navigation }) => {
const userpermission = 'admin';
return (
<View style={{ flex: 1, alignItems: 'center', justifyContent: 'center' }}>
<Text>Applikationen</Text>
<TouchableOpacity
style={styles.button}
onPress={() => navigation.navigate('Arbeitszeiterfassung')}>
<Text style={styles.text}>Arbeitszeiterfassung</Text>
</TouchableOpacity>
{userpermission == "admin" ? <Button title="Adminstuff" /> : null}
</View>
);
};
Try this way
const HomeScreen = ({ navigation }) => {
const userpermission = 'admin';
const adminbutton = '<Button title="Adminstuff"></Button>';
const renderButtonsContainer = () => {
return <View>
<Button title="Adminstuff"></Button>
<Button title="Adminstuff"></Button>
.........
</View>
}
return (
<View style={{ flex: 1, alignItems: 'center', justifyContent: 'center' }}>
{userpermission == 'admin' ? renderButtonsContainer() : null }
</View>
);
};
A better way to achieve this in functional component.
import { Button } from 'react-native';
const MyButton = ({userpermission}) => {
if(userpermission == 'admin'){
return <Button title="Adminstuff"/>
}
else {
return <Button title="Userstuff"/>
}
}
const HomeScreen = () => {
const userpermission = 'admin';
return (
<View>
<View>Something</<View>
<MyButton userpermission={userpermission} />
</View>
)
}
I have the following code (full example):
import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
import { SafeAreaView, View, TextInput, Button, StyleSheet } from 'react-native';
const App = () => {
const [textblocks, setTextblocks] = useState([]);
const CreateTextBlockHandler = () => {
let array = [...textblocks];
array.push({text: ''});
setTextblocks(array);
};
const SaveTextHandler = (index, text) => {
let array = [...textblocks];
array[index].text = text;
setTextblocks(array);
};
const RenderTextInputs = () => {
return textblocks.map((item, index) => {
return (
<View key={index}>
<TextInput style={styles.textinput} placeholder="text" value={textblocks[index].text} onChangeText={value => SaveTextHandler(index, value)} />
</View>
);
});
};
return (
<SafeAreaView style={styles.pancontainer}>
<RenderTextInputs />
<Button title="Create textblock" onPress={CreateTextBlockHandler} />
</SafeAreaView>
);
};
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
pancontainer: {
flex: 1,
alignItems: 'center',
justifyContent: 'center'
},
textinput: {
width: 200,
margin: 10,
borderWidth: 1,
borderColor: 'black'
}
});
export default App;
How it works: I have a button to dynamically add a new textinput. This works. The problem is, for every character I enter in a textput, the focus is lost after every character.
I created a snack, you can test it here: https://snack.expo.io/BJcHxluyI.
I THINK I need to save the reference to the textinput somewhere, and then give the focus back to the textinput after every keystroke, but I don't know how to do that.
Change
return (
<SafeAreaView style={styles.pancontainer}>
<RenderTextInputs />
<Button title="Create textblock" onPress={CreateTextBlockHandler} />
</SafeAreaView>
);
To
return (
<SafeAreaView style={styles.pancontainer}>
{RenderTextInputs()}
<Button title="Create textblock" onPress={CreateTextBlockHandler} />
</SafeAreaView>
);
Or put RenderTextInputs outside App and pass data via props. With first syntax react treats RenderTextInputs as a component and, as it is nested in App, mounts it again on each App render.
