When I try to link my main.js folder into my react component, I get this error message
"TypeError: Cannot read property 'addEventListener' of null"
I want implement the JS to the modals into my work section, I am having trouble doing that. I am very new to React so I am not totally sure what the rules and best practices are. I am tryint turn my old portfolio site into a new SPA site.
Code:
// select the open-btn button
let openBtn = document.getElementById('open-btn');
// select the modal-background
let modalBackground = document.getElementById('modal-background');
// select the close-btn
let closeBtn = document.getElementById('close-btn');
// shows the modal when the user clicks open-btn
openBtn.addEventListener('click', function () {
modalBackground.style.display = 'block';
});
// hides the modal when the user clicks close-btn
closeBtn.addEventListener('click', function () {
modalBackground.style.display = 'none';
});
// hides the modal when the user clicks outside the modal
window.addEventListener('click', function (event) {
// check if the event happened on the modal-background
if (event.target === modalBackground) {
// hides the modal
modalBackground.style.display = 'none';
}
});
// select the open-btn button
let openBtn2 = document.getElementById('open-btn2');
// select the modal-background
let modalBackground2 = document.getElementById('modal-background2');
// select the close-btn
let closeBtn2 = document.getElementById('close-btn2');
// shows the modal when the user clicks open-btn
openBtn2.addEventListener('click', function () {
modalBackground2.style.display = 'block';
});
// hides the modal when the user clicks close-btn
closeBtn2.addEventListener('click', function () {
modalBackground2.style.display = 'none';
});
// hides the modal when the user clicks outside the modal
window.addEventListener('click', function (event) {
// check if the event happened on the modal-background
if (event.target === modalBackground2) {
// hides the modal
modalBackground2.style.display = 'none';
}
});
