Whenever I try to search, I can type only the letters which are similar to the one of the titles. If any letter is different I lose focus from input. It used to work normally before, but Idk what happened now. Any suggestions?
After starting to type on search input:
When I type a letter which is not in the title:
Code:
if (props.items.length === 0) {
return (
<div className="files-list center">
<Card>
<h2>No files found.</h2>
</Card>
</div>
);
} else if (
props.items.filter(
(file) =>
file.title.toLowerCase().includes(searchInput) ||
file.title.toUpperCase().includes(searchInput)
).length === 0
) {
return (
<div className="filesList">
<div className="search">
<input
type="text"
placeholder="Search Files"
onChange={(event) => setSearchInput(event.target.value)}
/>
</div>
<Card>
<h2>No files found.</h2>
</Card>
</div>
);
}
return (
<React.Fragment>
<div className="filesList">
<div className="actionsBtn">
<NavLink to="/add-file" className="addFileBtn" title="Add File">
<FontAwesomeIcon icon={faPlus} />
</NavLink>
<input
type="text"
placeholder="Search Files"
onChange={(event) => setSearchInput(event.target.value)}
/>
</div>
<ul className="files-list">
{props.items
.filter(
(file) =>
file.title.toLowerCase().includes(searchInput) ||
file.title.toUpperCase().includes(searchInput)
)
.map((file) => (
<FilesPostItem
key={file.id}
id={file.id}
title={file.title}
file={file.file}
creator={file.creator.name}
description={file.description}
creatorId={file.creator}
onDelete={props.onDeleteFile}
/>
))}
</ul>
</div>
</React.Fragment>
);
What I think happens is, your “default” return form the beginning gets reset by the return in the “if else”. So the Input is a new DOM Element and loses focus.
You might want to add something like this to your default return and remove your "if else" statement.
<ul className="files-list">
{props.items
.filter(
(file) =>
file.title.toLowerCase().includes(searchInput) ||
file.title.toUpperCase().includes(searchInput)
)
.map((file) => (
<FilesPostItem
key={file.id}
id={file.id}
title={file.title}
file={file.file}
creator={file.creator.name}
description={file.description}
creatorId={file.creator}
onDelete={props.onDeleteFile}
/>
))}
</ul>
{props.items
.filter(
(file) =>
file.title.toLowerCase().includes(searchInput) ||
file.title.toUpperCase().includes(searchInput)
).length > 0 &&
<Card>
<h2>No files found.</h2>
</Card>
}What does this do? It adds the "No files found" message to your default return and shows it only, if items is empty.
But i am pretty sure, there is a better way to do this.
