You should try and avoid jQuery in ReactJS. But if you really want to use it, you'd put it in componentDidMount() lifecycle function of the component.
e.g.
class App extends React.Component {
componentDidMount() {
// Jquery here $(...)...
}
// ...
}
Ideally, you'd want to create a reusable Accordion component. For this you could use Jquery, or just use plain javascript + CSS.
class Accordion extends React.Component {
constructor() {
super();
this._handleClick = this._handleClick.bind(this);
}
componentDidMount() {
this._handleClick();
}
_handleClick() {
const acc = this._acc.children;
for (let i = 0; i < acc.length; i++) {
let a = acc[i];
a.onclick = () => a.classList.toggle("active");
}
}
render() {
return (
<div
ref={a => this._acc = a}
onClick={this._handleClick}>
{this.props.children}
</div>
)
}
}
Then you can use it in any component like so:
class App extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
<div>
<Accordion>
<div className="accor">
<div className="head">Head 1</div>
<div className="body"></div>
</div>
</Accordion>
</div>
);
}
}
