Conditional Classes in React

Same problem, class-list angle. A tiny cx helper: parts.filter(Boolean).join(' ') turns ('tab', on && 'tab-on') into 'tab tab-on' or 'tab'. That’s what clsx does. Use it when you have three flags (disabled, active, error).

Conditional Classes in React — output — "tab tab-on" then "tab". Libraries like clsx do this.

Exam tip

cx / clsx for several flags.

Example

// Conditional classes
function cx(...parts) {
  return parts.filter(Boolean).join(" ");
}

export default function Tab({ on }) {
  return <button className={cx("tab", on && "tab-on")}>Home</button>;
}

Conditional Classes in React — output: "tab tab-on" then "tab". Libraries like clsx do this.

Short notes

  • DefHelper : filter(Boolean).join.
  • RuleLib : clsx.
  • RememberFlags : disabled / active / error.
