React Material UI Expansion Panel And Dialogs

Introduction

In this article we will learn how to add dialogs boxes and Expansion Panel in React applications. Expansion Panel is used to show and hide content. Expansion Panel basically manages a large amount of content and list data. Dialogs are used to show notification and alert message.

You can check my previous article in which we discussed the basics of Material UI, from the below mentioned links.

Prerequisites

Basic Knowledge of React
Visual Studio Code
Node and NPM installed
Material UI Installed

Create ReactJS project

Let's first create a React application using the following command.

npx create-react-app matform

Install Material-UI

Now Install Material-UI by using the following command.

npm install @material-ui/core --save

Now install Material icons by using the following command.

npm install @material-ui/icons

Now, right click on "src" folder and add a new component named 'Panel.js

First let’s import required material UI component; add the following reference in this component.

import AppBar from '@material-ui/core/AppBar';
import Toolbar from '@material-ui/core/Toolbar';
import ExpansionPanel from '@material-ui/core/ExpansionPanel';
import ExpansionPanelSummary from '@material-ui/core/ExpansionPanelSummary';
import ExpansionPanelDetails from '@material-ui/core/ExpansionPanelDetails';
import ExpandMoreIcon from '@material-ui/icons/ExpandMore';

Add the following code in panel component.

import React, { Component } from 'react'
import AppBar from '@material-ui/core/AppBar';
import Toolbar from '@material-ui/core/Toolbar';
import ExpansionPanel from '@material-ui/core/ExpansionPanel';
import ExpansionPanelSummary from '@material-ui/core/ExpansionPanelSummary';
import ExpansionPanelDetails from '@material-ui/core/ExpansionPanelDetails';

export class Panel extends Component {
render() {
return (

<AppBar position="static">
<Toolbar style={{ 'paddingLeft': "600px" }}>

</AppBar>
<ExpansionPanel>
<ExpansionPanelSummary expandIcon={<ExpandMoreIcon></ExpandMoreIcon>} >

</ExpansionPanel>
</div>
)
}
}
export default Panel

Now run the project by using 'npm start'.

React Material UI Expansion Panel And Dialogs

Dialog Box:Dialogs are used to show notification and alert message.

Now, right click on "src" folder and add an another component named 'Dialog.js'. In this component we add dialog boxes to show important messages and information.

Add the following code in Dialogcomponent.

import React from 'react';
import Button from '@material-ui/core/Button';
import Dialog from '@material-ui/core/Dialog';
import DialogActions from '@material-ui/core/DialogActions';
import DialogTitle from '@material-ui/core/DialogTitle';
import AppBar from '@material-ui/core/AppBar';
import Toolbar from '@material-ui/core/Toolbar';
export default function Dialogs() {
const [state, setstate] = React.useState(false);
const Open = () => {
setstate(true);
};
const Close = () => {
setstate(false);
};
return (
<div>
<AppBar className="mrg" position="static">
<Toolbar style={{ 'paddingLeft': "600px" }}>
Material UI Dialog
</Toolbar>
</AppBar>
<Button variant="contained" color="primary" onClick={Open}>
Open Dialog
</Button>
<Dialog
open={state}
onClose={Close}
aria-labelledby="alert-dialog-title"
aria-describedby="alert-dialog-description" >
<DialogTitle id="alert-dialog-title">{"Are you Sure to Delete?"}</DialogTitle>
<DialogActions>
<Button onClick={Close} color="primary">
Yes
</Button>
<Button onClick={Close} color="primary" autoFocus>
No
</Button>
</DialogActions>
</Dialog>
</div>
);
}

Now open app.css file and add the following code

.mrg{
margin-top: 20px;
margin-bottom: 20px;
}
.pding
{
padding-left: 500px;
}

Now open app.js file and add the following code.

import React from 'react';
import logo from './logo.svg';
import './App.css';
import Form from './Form'
import Dialogs from './Dialog'
function App() {
return (
<div className="App">
<Panel></Panel>
</div>
);
}
export default App;

Now run the project and check the result.

Click on the button,
