How to Enable a Button with Toggle State in React Using TypeScript

When developing applications using React and TypeScript, you might face various challenges, especially if you're new to this powerful combination. A common issue arises when you need to enable a button based on the state of a toggle switch. Specifically, how can a button be kept enabled when a switch is off, and only have specific valid states when the switch is on? If you've encountered this problem, you're not alone, and we're here to help.

Understanding the Problem

You have a button that should meet the following conditions to be enabled:

The button is enabled when the toggle switch is off.

When the toggle switch is on, the button should only be enabled in certain valid states.

While the button might work as expected when the switch is on, issues can arise when you switch it back to the off position. If your button doesn’t enable correctly when the switch is turned off, it often relates to how the states and validations are managed in your code.

Proposed Solution

Key Considerations

Switch State: You need to check the current state of the toggle.

Validation States: Make sure that both isValid and isDirty states are accounted for when the switch is on.

Implementation

Here’s an example implementation to demonstrate how to enable your button correctly based on the state of your toggle switch.

Explanation of the Code

currentStep?.nextStep('creation') != null: This condition checks if there’s a next step in the current flow. If there is, we proceed to render the button.

Disabled Prop: The button is disabled based on the following logic:

If the switch (isSwitch) is off (!isSwitch), the button will remain disabled unless it is valid and dirty (!isValid || !isDirty). This ensures that the button is only active during the right conditions.

The onClick event triggers the handleSubmit function when the button is clicked.

Additional Tips

Using Form Submission: If the button is part of a form and intended for submission, you can skip the onClick entirely and use the form like this:

This helps in automatically triggering validation.

Button Outside of Form: If your button is outside the form context, give your form an ID and link it with the button using the form prop. This will ensure the button behaves correctly even outside traditional form elements.

Conclusion

Handling button states in React, especially with TypeScript, can be tricky when dealing with toggles and validation. By implementing the above approach, you ensure that your button's enablement is correctly tied to the toggle state. With these pointers, you should be able to troubleshoot and enhance your application effectively.

Happy coding!
