React code to build shopping cart












0












$begingroup$


I have built a basic shopping cart simulator. All it does is add and remove items between two different basket (i.e. aisle vs basket).



While working on the problem I started to think about the approach and would love to hear what people think.




  1. Avoid initializing the state empty state in the constructor. However, I had to initialize shoppingCart: in componentDidMount hook to avoid type error. What is the better and cleaner approach?

  2. Is it good practice to keep the logic simple in handleXXXClicks, separation of concern one for handling items and one for shoppingCart?

  3. I feel aisleList and cartList bloated and I could have written itemComponent which is avoidable duplicate code.

  4. Is there any better way to handle the item in setState? I couldn't think of using prevState in my scenario.


Use setState without initializing state:



componentDidMount() {
// assuming data comes from API fetch
let items = ["banana", "eggs", "bread", "apple"];
this.setState({
items,
shoppingCart: // had to set this empty to avoid typeerror
});
}


Handle handleClick and setState:



handleCartClick = event => {
let newList = this.state.shoppingCart.filter(item => {
return item !== event.target.value;
});

this.setState({
items: [...this.state.items, event.target.value],
shoppingCart: [...newList]
});
};
