How to Close a React Component on Click

When developing web applications with React, you might encounter scenarios where you need to hide or close a component based on user interaction. A common example is a cookie consent component that shows a message to the user and provides an option to agree to the use of cookies. In this guide, we'll walk through a simple solution to implement this functionality effectively.

The Problem

Imagine you have a Cookies component that informs users about the usage of cookies on your site. It has a button labeled "I agree" that users can click to close the component. The challenge arises in making this button functional—ensuring that when users click it, the component is no longer visible.

Here's a brief overview of the code for the Cookies component:

As you can see, we need to implement the function that hides this component when the button is clicked.

The Solution

To address this problem, we will utilize React's state management capabilities. Here’s a step-by-step guide to modifying your component so that it closes upon clicking the "I agree" button:

Step 1: Introduce State

We need to track whether the component should be displayed or not. For this, we will introduce a piece of state using the useState hook.

Add the following code at the start of your Cookies component:

Step 2: Conditional Rendering

Next, we will implement conditional rendering in our component. We want to check if isOpen is false, and if so, we will return null, effectively hiding the component.

Update your component to include:

Step 3: Update the Button Click Event

Now, it’s time to modify the onClick event of the button. We will make it so that when the button is clicked, it updates the isOpen state to false, which will trigger the component to close.

Replace the onClick prop of your button with this:

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can easily implement functionality to close a React component upon user interaction. This technique is particularly useful for components like cookie consent banners and modals. With the addition of state management, you've enabled your component to respond dynamically to user actions, improving the overall user experience on your site.

Now you can apply these principles to your own React projects. Happy coding!
