Use React to write filtering functions

Question

I want to create a filter function that fires when an input value event is received in react useState, but when I start typing I can't see it doing anything. This is my Search component

export function Search({categories, onSearch}){
    const [searchText, setSearchText] = useState('');

    const filterCategories = () => {
        const filteredCategories = categories.filter(category =>
          category.name.toLowerCase().includes(searchText.toLowerCase())
        );
        onSearch(filteredCategories);
      };
    
      const handleInputChange = event => {
        setSearchText(event.target.value);
        filterCategories();
      };


    return (
        <div className="flex items-center">
        <form className='flex space-x-1' >
         <input
                     type="text"
                     className="block w-full px-4 py-2 text-purple-700 bg-white border rounded-full focus:border-purple-400 focus:ring-purple-300 focus:outline-none focus:ring focus:ring -opacity-40"
                     placeholder="Search..."
                     value={searchText}
                     onChange={handleInputChange}
                    />
       
        </form>
        </div>
    )
}

Then use

here

const Layout = ({ categories, children }) => {
  const [filteredCategories, setFilteredCategories] = useState(categories);

  const handleSearch = (filteredCategories) => {
    setFilteredCategories(filteredCategories);
  };

  return (
    <div>
      {/* ... */}
      <Search categories={categories} onSearch={handleSearch} />
      {/* ... */}
      {children}
    </div>
  );
};

export default Layout;

Then this component is used in the Home component

export default function Home({ posts, categories }) {

  return (
    <Layout categories={categories}>
      <div className="mt-20">
        <main className="flex flex-col justify-center items-center h-screen pt-10 pb-30">
          {/* Render post */}
        </main>
      </div>
    </Layout>
  );
}

Is there anything I should do to make it work?

Answer 1

In the Layout component, you are passing the value of categories to your Search component, you may want to pass filteredCategories

const Layout = ({ categories, children }) => {
  const [filteredCategories, setFilteredCategories] = useState(categories);

  const handleSearch = (filteredCategories) => {
    setFilteredCategories(filteredCategories);
  };

  return (
    <div>
      {/* ... */}
      <Search
        categories={filteredCategories} // 这里
        onSearch={handleSearch}
      />
      {/* ... */}
      {children}
    </div>
  );
};

export default Layout;

(filteredCategories is not used, which makes you feel like nothing happened)
