I am making a project using Django and React. I fetch the data from Twitter API from Django and I want to show the data in frontend. I pass the data from django views.py to index.html as a javascript variable. Then I want to present it in the Landing.js in Components folder. I used React router and I Landing and Main page are pages that I am routing to so far. I have not figured out how to pass the data from a single html file to Javascript components in React
Thanks in advance
<!-- index.html -->
<section class="section">
<div class="container">
<div id="app" class="columns"><!-- React --></div>
</div>
</section>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.myVar = "{{context.near.text}}";
//data can be passed from the Django.views.py
</script>
{% load static %}
<script src="{% static 'frontend/main.js' %}"></script>
//Landing.js js components
import React, { Component } from 'react';
class Landing extends Component {
componentDidMount() {
console.log(window.myVar); //undefined
console.log(this.myVVar); //undefined
}
render(){
return (
<div>
</div>
)
}
}
export default Landing;
This is my tree structure
this is context I pass from Django views.py
this is a variable I want to pass to "LANDING" componentsThis is "Landing.js" components I want to show the variables
Create a new property in the window object maybe window._DEFAULT_DATA and pass it the serialized data from Django in your view.
In the head tag in HTML
<script>
window._DEFAULT_DATA = 'Data parsed in string'
</script>
Then when you want to use it, just use JSON.parse to have a new JSON.
