Passing Astro components to React components
New Course Coming Soon:
Get Really Good at Git
In an Astro site page I wanted to add some bit of interactivity, and chose React.
I created the component, and inside it I had a pro
state variable that was true
or false
and showed different things based on this state:
import { useState } from 'react'
export default function TabBar() {
const [pro, setPro] = useState(false)
return (
<div>
{pro ? <p>pro</p> : <p>free</p>}
</div>
)
}
and I used it like this:
<TabBar client:load />
(client:load
otherwise it’s server-rendered at build time and not interactive).
So far so good.
But I wanted to pass multiple Astro components to this, so here’s what I did:
<TabBar client:load>
<div slot='free'>
<Free />
</div>
<div class='pt-2 mb-20' slot='pro'>PRO</div>
</TabBar>
Inside the React component, those slots are available through {props.pro}
and {props.free}
.
import { useState } from 'react'
export default function TabBar(props) {
const [pro, setPro] = useState(false)
return (
<div>
{pro ? props.pro : props.free}
</div>
)
}
Are you intimidated by Git? Can’t figure out merge vs
rebase? Are you afraid of screwing up something any time
you have to do something in Git? Do you rely on ChatGPT
or random people’s answer on StackOverflow to fix your
problems? Your coworkers are tired of explaining Git to
you all the time? Git is something we all need to use,
but few of us really master it. I created this course to
improve your Git (and GitHub) knowledge at a radical
level. A course that helps you feel less frustrated with
Git. Launching Summer 2024. Join the waiting list!
