This post is in contuation of our previous post: How to use Draft.js with Next.js and Create Article
In this post, we will try to edit a saved article. We will do following:
Since I can have many articles, and many authors. I want to Show Edit Article link
to only author of the article. Note: A backend check must be there. You can not rely on the frontend checks.
This is just to show the link to author only.
In the Article page
, where we GET the article, it has the author information as well. And, if the user is logged in, we can compare their username or email.
Lets see code
We will process the json data returned by GET API, and will check for author. If its for author, we will put a flag.
async processAuthor(articles, loggedinUser) {
if (articles && articles.length > 0) {
let currentUserEmail = null;
if (loggedinUser && loggedinUser.email) {
currentUserEmail = loggedinUser.email;
}
if (currentUserEmail) {
for (let i=0; i<articles.length; i++) {
if (articles[i].author.email == currentUserEmail) {
articles[i].myArticle = true;
}
}
}
}
return articles;
}
So, we have put a flag: myArticle
Lets see code:
export default function Article(props) {
if (props.error) {
return <SimpleLayout>
<ErrorPage statusCode={props.error.statusCode} />
</SimpleLayout>
}
const [ session, loading ] = useSession();
const body = draftToHtml(JSON.parse(props.body));
const showEditOption = props.myArticle;
return (
<SimpleLayout>
<h1>{props.title}</h1>
{showEditOption &&
<Link href={`/nodes/${props.id}/edit`}>
<a>
Edit
</a>
</Link>
}
<h4>Author: {props.author.username}</h4>
<div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{__html: body}}></div>
</SimpleLayout>
)
}
export async function getServerSideProps(context) {
const session = await getSession(context);
try {
let data = await apiClient.getArticleBySlug(context.query.slug[0]);
if (!data || data.length == 0) {
return {props: {error: {statusCode: 404}}}
}
//process author
// console.log(data);
data = await contentProcessor.processAuthor(data, session.user);
return {props: data[0]}
} catch(error) {
return {props: {error: {statusCode: 404}}}
}
}
Since, I will be having same code for creating new article and editing article. I want to use code. I don’t want another duplicate code.
I’m developing a common component called: EditArticle
import React, { Component } from 'react'
import apiClient from '../api/api_client'
import { Form, Button, Card } from 'react-bootstrap';
import { withRouter } from 'next/router'
import ArticleEditor from '../editor/editor'
class EditArticle extends Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
id: props.article.id || null,
title: props.article.title || "",
body: props.article.body || null,
isNew: props.article.body ? false : true,
// this is to make sure we dont do stringify again
articleUpdated: false
};
this.handleInputs = this.handleInputs.bind(this);
this.submitForm = this.submitForm.bind(this);
}
handleInputs = (event) => {
let {name, value} = event.target
this.setState({
[name]: value
});
}
handleEditorContent = (content) => {
this.setState({
body: content,
articleUpdated: true
});
}
submitForm = async (event) => {
event.preventDefault()
let article;
if (this.state.isNew) {
article = await apiClient.saveArticle({
title: this.state.title,
body: JSON.stringify(this.state.body)
})
}
else {
let articleContent = this.state.body;
if (this.state.articleUpdated) {
articleContent = JSON.stringify(articleContent);
}
article = await apiClient.updateArticle({
id: this.state.id,
title: this.state.title,
body: articleContent
})
}
this.props.router.push(`/articles/${article.slug}`);
}
render() {
return (
<Form onSubmit={this.submitForm}>
<Form.Group controlId="formBasicEmail">
<Form.Label>Headline</Form.Label>
<Form.Control type="text"
name="title"
value={this.state.title}
onChange={this.handleInputs} />
<Form.Text className="text-muted">
Give a nice title to your article
</Form.Text>
</Form.Group>
<Form.Group controlId="exampleForm.ControlTextarea2">
<Form.Label>Body</Form.Label>
<Card className="p-2">
<ArticleEditor
handleContent={this.handleEditorContent}
initialContent={this.state.body}
/>
</Card>
</Form.Group>
<Button variant="primary" type="submit">
Submit
</Button>
</Form>
)
}
}
export default withRouter(EditArticle);
The code is pretty simple to understand. I’m maintaining a flag whether its for creating new article or editing existing article.
Note: The URL for edit I made is:
/nodes/[id]/edit
Lets create another page:
nodes/[id]/edit.jsx
Note: [id]
is a folder above.
import SimpleLayout from '../../../components/layout/simple'
import apiClient from '../../../components/api/api_client'
import EditArticle from '../../../components/editor/editArticle';
import React, { Component } from 'react'
export default class EditNode extends Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
id: props.article.id,
title: props.article.title,
body: props.article.body,
};
}
render() {
return (
<SimpleLayout>
<div className="row">
<div className="col-8">
<EditArticle
article={this.state}
/>
</div>
<div className="col-4">
Hey
</div>
</div>
</SimpleLayout>
)
}
}
export async function getServerSideProps(context) {
try {
let data = await apiClient.getArticleById(context.query.id);
return {props: {
article: data
}}
} catch(error) {
return {props: {}}
}
}
