[React] Make Controlled React Components with Control Props

Sometimes users of your component want to have more control over what the internal state is. In this lesson we'll learn how to allow users to control some of our component’s state just like the<input />'svalueprop.

Controlled props is the prop that component let user fully control.

import React from 'react';

class Toggle extends React.Component {

    // An empty function
    static defaultProps = {
        defaultOn: false,
        onToggle: () => {
        }
    };

    // default state value
    initialState = {on: this.props.defaultOn};
    state = this.initialState;

    isControlled() {
        return this.props.on !== undefined;
    }

    // toggle method
    toggle = () =>{
      if (this.isControlled()) {
        this.props.onToggle(!this.props.on)
      } else {
          this.setState(
              ({on}) => ({on: !on}),
              () => {
                  this.props.onToggle(this.state.on)
              }
          );
      }
    };


    reset = () => this.setState(
        this.initialState
    );

    render() {
        return this.props.render({
            on: this.isControlled() ?
                    this.props.on :
                    this.state.on,
            toggle: this.toggle,
            reset: this.reset,
            getProps: (props) => {
                return {
                    'aria-expanded': this.state.on,
                    role: 'button',
                    ...props
                };
            }
        });
    }
}

export default Toggle;
