I'm doing here is updating the state with the string which work something like the following:



 changeColorE(e){
this.setState({error:"style={{backgroundColor :" +this.state.colorNew +"}}"},()=>console.log("-------",this.state.error))
}


In render I've



const { error }=this.state;


I get the error here {error} it says



Parsing error: Unexpected token, expected "..."

<div className="col-2" {error} onClick={this.changeColorE.bind(this)}></div>


How can {error} something like that be done for an element? Am I going the right way or whats the right way?
Why it doesn't work with just {error} and not {...error} ?



the errorClr doesn't work i'm passing the error to it n declared



    const { error }=this.state;
const {errorClr}={style:{color : {error}}}; // this doesnt work the way?

<div className="col-8" {...errorClr}>Please enter valid data</div>


The color proptery doesn't reflect.I've done no setstate. Can we not do something of this sort {style:{color : {error}}} ?

  • Its because your placing your styles in "" qoutations this means the error state is being ignored.

Dont save the style as a string, however save it as an object like



changeColorE(e){
this.setState({
error: {
style: { backgroundColor : this.state.colorNew }
}
},()=> console.log("-------",this.state.error))
}


and then use it like



<div className="col-2" {...error} onClick={this.changeColorE.bind(this)}></div>

  • Properties in jsx cannot be passed like {error}, either you spread the props or specify as error={error}, hence you must use an object which you can spread like {...error}
