How to add multiple classes to a ReactJS Component?

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 (<li className={liClasses}>{data.name}</li>);
...

That said, if you don't want to include a dependency then there are better answers below.


Concat

No need to be fancy I am using CSS modules and it's easy

import style from '/css/style.css';

<div className={style.style1+ ' ' + style.style2} />

This will result in:

<div class="src-client-css-pages-style1-selectionItem src-client-css-pages-style2">

In other words, both styles

Conditionals

It would be easy to use the same idea with if's

const class1 = doIHaveSomething ? style.style1 : 'backupClass';

<div className={class1 + ' ' + style.style2} />

ES6

For the last year or so I have been using the template literals, so I feel its worth mentioning, i find it very expressive and easy to read:

`${class1} anotherClass ${class1}`

Just use JavaScript.

<li className={[activeClass, data.klass, "main-class"].join(' ')} />

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]) => value)
    .map(([key, value]) => key)
    .join(' ');
}

const classes = {
  'maybeClass': true,
  'otherClass': true,
  'probablyNotClass': false,
};

const myClassNames = classNames(classes);
// Output: "maybeClass otherClass"

<li className={myClassNames} />

Or even simpler:

const isEnabled = true;
const isChecked = false;

<li className={[isEnabled && 'enabled', isChecked && 'checked']
  .filter(e => !!e)
  .join(' ')
} />
// Output:
// <li className={'enabled'} />

I use ES6 template literals. For example:

const error = this.state.valid ? '' : 'error'
const classes = `form-control round-lg ${error}`

And then just render it:

<input className={classes} />

One-liner version:

<input className={`form-control round-lg ${this.state.valid ? '' : 'error'}`} />
