Get link of an image in react-photo-gallery? - node.js

Question

I'm still a beginner in reactJS (using nodeJS backend) and I have to create a website to manage my collections. I don't know if what I'm going to ask you is feasible, but it probably is.
So I'm using a react component, react-photo-gallery. It's a component where you can use url links and it mixes them together to create a beautiful gallery.

I'm using nodeJS to get the information from the database, where I get the urls of all the pictures. For example I have a collection of cards, and an url of the image which represents the collection. What I want to do is get the link of the picture that I'm clicking on so I can use it in another component.
import React from 'react';
import { render } from 'react-dom';
import Gallery from 'react-photo-gallery';
import Photo from './Photo';
class PhotoGallery extends React.Component {
constructor(props){
super(props);
this.onClick = this.onClick.bind(this);
this.state = {
urlImages: []
};
}
async componentDidMount() {
var getUrlImages = 'http://localhost:3004';
const response = await fetch(getUrlImages+"/getUrlImages");
const newList = await response.json();
this.setState(previousState => ({
...previousState,
urlImages: newList,
}));
}
galleryPhotos() {
if(this.state.urlImages) {
return this.state.urlImages.map(function(urlimage) {
return { src: urlimage.urlimage, width: 2, height: 2 }
})
}
}
onClick() {
alert(this.galleryPhotos().value);
}
render() {
return (
<Gallery axis={"xy"} photos={this.galleryPhotos()} onClick={this.onClick}/>
)
}
}
const photos = [];
export default PhotoGallery;

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/react/15.1.0/react-dom.min.js"></script>
Basically what I want to do is get the source link of the picture in the onClick function. Is that possible?
Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Check the onClick event.
onClick(event) {
alert(event.target.src)
}
The DEMO

Answer 2

The onClick event of the Gallery component has a number of arguments:
the event
an object containing the selected index and the original photo object
You can use this in your onClick handler:
onClick(e, obj) {
const src = obj.photo.src
// do whatever you need with the src (setState, etc)
}
