Section

The SectionComponent is a layout component used to create a section of a page with customizable styling and content. It acts as a container for other components, which are rendered within the section. The component utilizes a ComponentRenderer to handle the rendering of nested components, allowing for a flexible and modular layout. The remove prop controls whether the section should be displayed.

Props

  • data: An object containing the section configuration.
    • class: Additional CSS classes to apply to the section container for custom styling.
  • children: An array of component objects that will be rendered within the section.
    • id: A unique identifier for the component.
    • component: The type of component to render, managed by ComponentRenderer.
  • remove: A boolean that determines whether the section should be rendered or not. If true, the section will not be displayed.

Component Code

src/components/availableComponents/SectionComponent.js

import ComponentRenderer from '../ComponentRenderer';

const SectionComponent = ({ data, children, remove }) => (
remove ? null : (
<section className={`p-4 ${data.class}`}>
{children.map((child) => (
<ComponentRenderer key={child.id} component={child} />
))}
</section>
)
);

export default SectionComponent;

Component Explanation

  • Section Container:

    • The SectionComponent renders a <section> element with customizable padding and additional CSS classes. This allows you to define a distinct area on the page for content organization and styling.
  • Child Rendering:

    • The children prop is an array of components that are rendered within the section. Each child component is passed to the ComponentRenderer, which handles the dynamic rendering based on the component type.
  • ComponentRenderer Integration:

    • The ComponentRenderer is used to render each child component within the section. This enables modular content rendering and supports various component types dynamically.
  • Visibility Control:

    • The section's visibility is controlled by the remove prop. If remove is true, the component returns null, and the section is not rendered.

Customization

You can customize the SectionComponent by:

  • Adjusting the data.class prop to apply different styles and layouts to the section.
  • Modifying the children array to include different components and content within the section.
  • Using the remove prop to conditionally render the section based on specific application logic or user interactions.

Use Cases

  • Content Organization: Useful for grouping related content and organizing sections within a page, such as headers, content blocks, and footers.
  • Modular Layouts: Ideal for creating modular layouts where different sections can be dynamically rendered based on configuration data.
  • Custom Styling: Allows for custom styling and padding to create visually distinct sections on the page.
