2024 06 06 getting container width in apptsx to pass down to handexterm - bizkite-co/handterm GitHub Wiki


original file name: Codeium Chat - Y5uXa3PFojNfe4f4nhCJ3IUtdWGBjzkQ.md summary: The user asked how to get the container width in App.tsx in order to pass it down to HandexTerm. I provided a code snippet that demonstrates how to use a ref to the container element and then access its clientWidth property to determine the width. This width can then be passed down to HandexTerm as a prop. The code snippet includes setting up a ref for the container element, calculating the container width on initial render and window resize, and passing the width as a prop to HandexTerm. date: 2024-06-06T14:02

Can I get the container width in App.tsx so that I can pass it down to HandexTerm?

Based on the provided information, App.tsx does not currently have access to the container's width directly. To pass the container width to HandexTerm, you would typically use a ref to the container element and then access its clientWidth property.

However, since App.tsx does not include container element details, I cannot give you a precise code snippet. If you have a container element around <HandexTerm /> in App.tsx, you could add a ref to it and then pass the width down as a prop.

Here's a conceptual example:

import React, { useRef, useState, useEffect } from 'react';
// ... other imports

const App = () => {
  const containerRef = useRef<HTMLDivElement>(null);
  const [containerWidth, setContainerWidth] = useState<number>(0);

  useEffect(() => {
    setContainerWidth(containerRef.current?.clientWidth ?? 0);
  }, []);

  // Optionally, to handle window resizing:
  useEffect(() => {
    const handleResize = () => {
      setContainerWidth(containerRef.current?.clientWidth ?? 0);
    };

    window.addEventListener('resize', handleResize);
    return () => window.removeEventListener('resize', handleResize);
  }, []);

  return (
    <div ref={containerRef}>
      <HandexTerm terminalWidth={containerWidth} />
      {/* ... other components */}
    </div>
  );
};

export default App;

This code assumes that HandexTerm accepts terminalWidth as a prop to specify its width. Please adjust the ref element type and prop names according to your actual implementation. If your App.tsx is different and you want a more fitting solution, please provide the structure of your App.tsx containing the container for HandexTerm.
