react-with-traverse

A HOC (Higher-Order Component) that allows you to traverse into the React component tree to do something on each of the deepest strings, such as highlight keywords, censor sensitive content and etc.

Installation

# npm
npm install react-with-traverse

# yarn
yarn add react-with-traverse

Usage

This module exposes a single function.

// ES6+
import withTraverse from 'react-with-traverse';

// ES5
const withTraverse = require('react-with-traverse');

withTraverse(transform : Function) : Component

transform(child : Any, props : Object) : Node

child : Each of the deepest strings in the component tree (probably <String>, unless you do something like <div>{<Number>}</div>)

props : The props for the result component

Use this function to transform child into anything you want by returning it.

Example:

const convertToSmileEmoji = (child, props) => {
  const {large} = props;
  if (child === ':smile:') {
    const src = large ? 'smile_large.png' : 'smile.png';
    return <img src={src} alt="Smiley face"/>;
  }
  return child;
};
const Smile = withTraverse(convertToSmileEmoji);

<div>
  <Smile large>
    <span>Some text</span>
    :smile:
  </Smile>
</div>

Result :

<div>
  <span>Some text</span>
  <img src="smile_large.png" alt="Smiley face"/>
</div>
