Inline Edit Component for React

Before you continue, check out a successor to this repo: React Inline Edit Kit. It is more functional, and will be maintained in future.

This is a simple React component for in-place text editing. It turns into an <input /> when focused, and tries to validate and save input on Enter or blur. Esc works as well for cancelling.

Watch a demo, then check out demo/index.jsx for a quick example.

Installation

npm install react-edit-inline --save-dev

Required props

• text:string initial text
• paramName:string name of the parameter to be returned to change function
• change:function function to call when new text is changed and validated, it will receive {paramName: value}

Optional props

• className:string CSS class name
• activeClassName:string CSS class replacement for when in edit mode
• validate:function boolean function for custom validation, using this overrides the two props below
• minLength:number minimum text length, default 1
• maxLength:number maximum text length, default 256
• editingElement:string element name to use when in edit mode (DOM must have value property) default input
• staticElement:string element name for displaying data default span
• editing:boolean If true, element will be in edit mode
• tabIndex:number tab index used for focusing with TAB key default 0
• stopPropagation:boolean If true, the event onClick will not be further propagated.

Usage example

import React from 'react';
import InlineEdit from 'react-edit-inline';

class MyParentComponent extends React.Component {

    constructor(props){
      super(props);
      this.dataChanged = this.dataChanged.bind(this);
      this.state = {
        message: 'ReactInline demo'
      }
    }

    dataChanged(data) {
        // data = { description: "New validated text comes here" }
        // Update your model from here
        console.log(data)
        this.setState({...data})
    }

    customValidateText(text) {
      return (text.length > 0 && text.length < 64);
    }

    render() {
        return (<div>
            <h2>{this.state.message}</h2>
            <span>Edit me: </span>
            <InlineEdit
              validate={this.customValidateText}
              activeClassName="editing"
              text={this.state.message}
              paramName="message"
              change={this.dataChanged}
              style={{
                backgroundColor: 'yellow',
                minWidth: 150,
                display: 'inline-block',
                margin: 0,
                padding: 0,
                fontSize: 15,
                outline: 0,
                border: 0
              }}
            />
