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
.

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
.
