'How to pass any anonymous function to ref and use that in other react component?
I have 3 functional components and I'd like to pass & manipulate data through useRef.
I am adding this onClose method to current property in one of my component.
const onClose = () => {
setButtonColor(buttonColor);
};
ref.current = {
clearSwitchStateOnClose: onClose,
};
I am calling that method in another component.
ref.current.clearSwitchStateOnClose();
I am receiving this error,
Uncaught TypeError: ref.current.clearSwitchStateOnClose is not a function
Solution 1:[1]
I was calling this method ref.current.clearSwitchStateOnClose(); but with that I was also mutating ref. I guess that was causing the issue.
It was something like this,
ref.current = {
showModal: false,
modalResponse: null,
};
ref.current.clearSwitchStateOnClose();
After doing this, it is working fine.
ref.current.clearSwitchStateOnClose();
ref.current = {
showModal: false,
modalResponse: null,
};
Sorry for not sharing the entire scenario of this situation.
