How to Dynamically Set DefaultChecked with React Hooks for a Toggle Button

In modern front-end development, managing the state of user interactions dynamically is a common requirement. One typical scenario involves toggle buttons implemented as checkboxes, especially when you are displaying a list of items, each with its enabled/disabled state fetched from an API.

In this guide, we'll explore how to achieve this in React using hooks, specifically looking into the problem where setting the checkbox state causes infinite re-rendering. We will provide solutions to properly bind state to the checkboxes without running into rendering issues.

The Problem Explanation

You have a list of rows, each represented by an object that contains an id and an enabled boolean value. The objective is to render each row with a toggle button (checkbox) that reflects its enabled state. However, the current implementation leads to a React error stating, "Too many re-renders. React limits the number of renders to prevent an infinite loop."

Here’s a snippet of how your data is structured:

You fetch this data from an API:

The problem arises primarily in how you are trying to link the checkbox's defaultChecked property to the state using your setStatusMode function, which is incorrect.

The Solution

To solve the issue, we need to focus on correctly utilizing the defaultChecked attribute. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of how to effectively manage the checkbox state:

Step 1: Setting Up State Properly

First, we need to ensure our state management aligns with the checkbox's requirements. Rather than using defaultChecked inappropriately, we'll use it correctly to map the el.enabled value directly.

Step 2: Modifying the Render Method

Instead of trying to immediately invoke a state update function in the render loop, we will set the checked property directly based on the data:

Step 3: Updating the Toggle State

You will need to appropriately handle the toggling and updating of the local state and potentially the backend:

Key Takeaways

State Handling: Use boolean values directly from your data to manage checkbox states without invoking setter functions during rendering.

Event Handling: Use onClick to invoke state changes rather than directly modifying state values in the render method.

Performance: Avoid re-rendering issues by ensuring that state updates only trigger when necessary.

Conclusion

By following the above principles and structuring your component correctly, you can manage dynamic toggle buttons in your React application smoothly. Now, you can implement the checkbox feature without facing infinite rendering issues.
