React, setting onClick in html via dangerouslySetInnerHTML

I have a txt component that renders via dangerouslySetInnerHTML



It has this line:



lines[i] = lines[i].replace(capoRegex, "<div class='capo' onClick={this.toggleTranspose()}>$1</div>");


But when I click the element, I get this error:



TypeError: this.toggleTranspose is not a function


How do I call my component's function from dangerouslySetInnerHTML ?

  • first of all, do you mean onClick={this.toggleTranspose} rather than onClick={this.toggleTranspose()}? (I assume toggleTranspose is not returning your onclick handler)

You can add it to the parent lifecycle method



componentDidMount: function() {
$('.capo').click(function(e){
...
})
}

    @victor zadorozhnyy's answer was the right direction. I didn't have jquery, and I needed to access the components setState method, so this was my final code:



    var component = this;
    document.getElementById('capo').addEventListener('click', function(e) {
    transpose = parseInt(e.target.dataset["capo"]);
    component.setState({
    transpose: transpose
    });
    }
