On the contrary, it’s best to extract helper functions (with good names) when appropriate. We partner with businesses to design and develop well-loved products through a flexible and transparent process. Exhibited same behavior nonetheless . The onmouseleave event is only supported by Internet Explorer, for a cross-browser solution, use the onmouseout event. Note how onMouseEnter and onMouseLeave are only called when you move your mosue over the red box, while onMouseOver and onMouseOut are called when the mouse movers over the blue child too.

I'm trying to build a navbar, using React and hooks, where each div will change to a specific color on an onMouseEnter and onMouseLeave. I do not consider this to be any sort of edge case. With deep hierarchies, the number of mouseenter events sent can be quite huge and cause significant performance problems. The series aims to show what Web Components are, put them in parallel for comparison with Frameworks to understand the differences and the needs each of them answer. Super helpful when I have child components that I don't want triggering events. What should I write about next? Of course, if you don’t care about props after the component is initialized, then this entire rule doesn’t apply.

In many cases, this means preferring the use of boolean flags. This event is sent to all scripts attached to the Collider .


Decide in the render function. // BAD: set this.state.fullName with values received through props, // BAD: push 'hover' into this.state.classes when mousing over the component, // BAD: remove 'hover' from this.state.classes when the mouse leaves the component, // BAD: toggle 'active' in this.state.classes when the component is clicked, // GOOD: set this.state.isHovering to true on mouse over, // GOOD: set this.state.isHovering to false on mouse leave, // GOOD: toggle this.state.isActive on click, // use the classSet addon to concat an array of class names together, // GOOD: Helper function to render fullName, Of course, if you don’t care about props after the component is initialized, then this entire rule doesn’t apply. Decide in the render function. Consider this refactoring where we instead store boolean values that represent whether or not the component should have a class - e.g. See Also: OnMouseOver , OnMouseExit . (Of course testing the view is still very important, but in my opinion you should do this with end to end tests.) You might decide to prefix these helpers with render as in the following example:**. *For the love of all that is holy, please do not store components in the state. Or a string.

Is there something I’ve missed? Thanks for all the hard work from everyone involved. I'd like to use onMouseEnter vs. onMouseOver because it's not sent to any descendants. Leave a comment below or @ me on twitter. isHovering === true implies that I should use the hover class: Whoa! Because I’m suggesting that you defer just about everything to the render function, it would follow that even CPU intensive calculations are deferred as well. The constructor function only runs when the component is mounted and thus fullName is forever whatever it was when the component mounted. Which classes does my component need to use?

Decide in the render function.

By clicking “Sign up for GitHub”, you agree to our terms of service and You should ask yourself whether this component owns this data. In this example I’m going to use the React onMouseOver event.

I think its because mouseout event is not triggered for disabled form elements, according to https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/Events/mouseout and React's synthetic mouseenter event works based on mouseout. Contrasted that with a boolean isActive is much more actionable. Just don’t. By moving this to the render function, we are now never again concerned about whether fullName will be updated. Combined with the corresponding mouseleave (which is fired at the element … Nope. Not a big deal in my case, can work around okay. Let’s take a closer look at each of these rules. This does not necessarily mean you’re only storing boolean values. Though similar to mouseover, mouseenter differs in that it doesn't bubbleand it isn't sent to any descendants when the pointer is moved from one of its descendants' physical space to its own physical space.
