You can use arrays and then join them using space    lt li key  index  className   activeClass  data class   main-class   join       gt  lt  li gt    This will result in     lt li key  index  class  activeClass data class main-class  gt  lt  li gt

If you wanna use a double conditional css module is always somehow confusing so i would advise you to follow this pattern import styles from  quot   styles module css quot   const Conditonal   large  redColor     gt     return     lt div className   large  amp  amp  styles large     redColor  amp  amp  styles color  gt            lt  div gt        export default Conditonal  and if its just one conditonal statement with two class name  use this import styles from  quot   styles module css quot   const Conditonal   redColor     gt     return     lt div className  styles large    redColor  amp  amp  styles color  gt            lt  div gt        export default Conditonal

This is how you can do that with ES6   className            text-right         itemId     activeItemId    active                anotherProperty     true    class1     class2        You can list multiple classes and conditions and also you can include static classes  It is not necessary to add an additional library   Good luck

Just use JavaScript    lt li className   activeClass  data klass   main-class   join         gt    If you want to add classes based keys and values in an object you can use the following   function classNames classes      return Object entries classes       filter   key  value     gt  value       map   key  value     gt  key       join          const classes        maybeClass   true     otherClass   true     probablyNotClass   false      const myClassNames   classNames classes      Output   maybeClass otherClass    lt li className  myClassNames    gt    Or even simpler   const isEnabled   true  const isChecked   false    lt li className   isEnabled  amp  amp   enabled   isChecked  amp  amp   checked      filter e   gt    e     join          gt     Output      lt li className   enabled     gt

When I have many varying classes  I have found the following to be useful    The filter removes any of the null values and the join puts all the remaining values into a space separated string   const buttonClasses          Button        disabled    disabled    null      active    active    null   filter  class    gt  class  join        lt button className  buttonClasses  onClick  onClick  disabled  disabled   disabled   false  gt

If you don t feel like importing another module  this function works like the classNames module   function classNames rules        var classes           Object keys rules  forEach item   gt                if  rules item               classes     classes length               item             return classes      You can use it like this   render         var classes   classNames            storeInfoDiv   true             hover   this state isHovered    this props store store id                return            lt SomeComponent style  classes    gt

Late to the party  but why use third party for such a simple problem   You could either do it as  Huw Davies mentioned - the best way  1   lt i className     styles  foo-bar-baz    fa fa-user fa-2x    gt  2   lt i className   styles  foo-bar-baz     fa fa-user    fa-2x   join         Both are good  But writing can become complex for a large app  To make it optimal  I do the same above things but put it in a helper class  Using my below helper function  allows me to keep the logic separate for future editing  and also gives me multiple ways to add the classes  classNames styles  foo-bar-baz    fa fa-user    fa-2x     or  classNames  styles  foo-bar-baz    fa fa-user    fa-2x      This is my helper function below  I ve put it in a helper js where I keep all my common methods  Being such a simple function  I avoided using 3rd party to keep control  export function classNames  classes        if classes  amp  amp  classes constructor     Array            return classes join            else if arguments 0      undefined            return     arguments  join                return

I usually use it like this    in your case         lt li  key  index  className            component                activeClass  activeClass    not-an-active-class                  data class        data class     no-data-class            gt    When it comes to JSX and  usually  we have some json    than you loop it     component map  plus some conditional to check if json property exists to render class name depending on property value from JSON  In example below component color  and component dark shade  are properties from component map        lt div className            component                component color  component color    no-color                  component dark shade        component dark shade     light           gt    Output    lt div class  component no-color light        Or   lt div class  component blue dark       depending on values from map

You can create an element with multiple class names like this    lt li className  class1 class2 class3  gt foo lt  li gt    Naturally  you can use a string containing the class names and manipulate this string to update the class names of the element   var myClassNammes    class1 class2 class3        lt li className  myClassNames  gt foo lt  li gt

I don t think we need to use an external package for just adding multiple classes  I personally use  lt li className   li active   gt Stacy lt  li gt   or  lt li className   li   this state isActive    active          gt Stacy lt li gt   or  lt li className   li      this state isActive    active          gt Stacy lt li gt   the second and third one in case you need to add or remove classes conditionally

I use classnames when there is a fair amount of logic required for deciding the classes to  not  use  An overly simple example           var liClasses   classNames          main-class   true         activeClass   self state focused     index              return   lt li className  liClasses  gt  data name  lt  li gt          That said  if you don t want to include a dependency then there are better answers below
