Currently, I am in the process of mastering React and developing a small online electronic store. Within my project, there is a tab labeled "View Store". My goal is for a small, hidden column to appear when a user clicks on this tab, revealing text or images. Ideally, when the user clicks anywhere else on the screen, this column should disappear.
To achieve this functionality, I decided to create a state property called "peekaboo". When a user clicks on the div element, peekaboo is set to true. Similarly, when the user navigates away from the element, I want peekaboo to be set to false. However, during testing, I encountered an issue where onClick was working perfectly, but onBlur was not functioning as expected (the store button would disappear, but fail to reappear upon blurring).
class ProductPage extends Component {
constructor() {
super();
this.peekClick = this.peekClick.bind(this);
this.peekHide = this.peekHide.bind(this);
this.state = {
peekaboo: false
};
}
peekClick = () => {
this.setState({peekaboo: true});}
peekHide = () => {
this.setState({peekaboo: false});}
render() {
return (
<div className="ProductPage">
<div className="ProductPage-Left">
{/* THE ISSUE PERSISTS HERE */}
<div className="leftViewTab" onBlur={this.peekHide}>
{this.state.peekaboo ? (null) :
(<div className="leftViewText" onClick={this.peekClick}>
View Store
</div>)}
</div>
</div>
In order to troubleshoot this problem, I referred to similar queries on StackOverflow to gather potential solutions: onclick() and onblur() ordering issue
I attempted to implement the onBlur method based on another post, however, it seems to be ineffective at the moment.
