React Native: renderRow fails
The following code, when setState
called from campaignsUpdated
, is render
logged to the console, but not renderRow
:
var React = require('react-native'),
Bus = require('../Bus'),
styles = require('../Styles'),
CampaignsStore = require('../stores/Campaigns'),
CampaignItem = require('./CampaignItem'),
{
Component,
Text,
TextInput,
ListView,
View,
NavigatorIOS,
ActivityIndicatorIOS
} = React
class CampaignList extends Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props)
this.state = {
dataSource: new ListView.DataSource({rowHasChanged: (r1, r2) => r1 !== r2})
}
}
componentDidMount() {
this.addListeners()
Bus.emit('campaigns:search', '')
}
componentWillUnmount() {
this.removeListeners()
}
render() {
console.log('render')
return (
<View style={styles.container}>
<TextInput
style={styles.searchInput}
placeholder='Campaign Name'
value={this.state.campaignName}
onChange={this.campaignSearchChanged.bind(this)}/>
<ListView
dataSource = {this.state.dataSource}
renderRow = {this.renderRow.bind(this)}/>
</View>
)
}
renderRow(campaign) {
console.log('renderRow')
return <CampaignItem campaign={campaign}/>
}
addListeners() {
Bus.on({
'campaigns:updated': this.campaignsUpdated.bind(this)
})
}
removeListeners() {
Bus.off({
'campaigns:updated': this.campaignsUpdated.bind(this)
})
}
campaignsUpdated(event) {
var campaigns = event.data
this.setState({
dataSource: this.state.dataSource.cloneWithRows(campaigns)
})
}
campaignSearchChanged(event) {
var campaignName = event.nativeEvent.text
Bus.emit('campaigns:search', campaignName)
}
}
module.exports = CampaignList
What am I doing wrong here?

In his opinion, the most likely case is that you have the classic reactivity variation problem here.
those. I suspect that your "campaignUpdated" method is being called with the same instance of the array it last received, or the items in the list are the same instances.
Try using:
campaignsUpdated(event) {
var campaigns = event.data.slice(); // <-- clone the array
this.setState({
dataSource: this.state.dataSource.cloneWithRows(campaigns)
})
}
If that doesn't work, then you either make the part that manages your campaign list, create new copies when you make changes (for example const clone = {...campaign, title:"A new Title"}
), or update your rowHasChanged method to see if there is a header (or whatever data you need) actually has changed.
