React Desktop macOS SegmentedControl Component

React Desktop is a popular library to bring the native desktop experience to the web. This library provides macOS and Windows OS components. A SegmentedControl component is a linear set of two or more segments where each of which functions as a mutually exclusive button. We can use the following approach in ReactJS to use the React Desktop macOS SegmentedControl Component.

SegmentedControl Props:

• box: It is used to indicate whether the item is in a box or not.
• height: It is used to set component height.
• hidden: It is used to set the component visibility.
• margin: It is used to set the outer margin of the component.
• marginBottom: It is used to set the outer bottom margin of the component.
• marginLeft: It is used to set the outer left margin of the component.
• marginRight: It is used to set the outer right margin of the component.
• marginTop: It is used to set the outer top margin of the component.
• width: It is used to set components width.

SegmentedControlItem Props:

• title: It is used to set the title for the item.
• onSelect: It is a callback function that is triggered on select of an item.
• selected: It is used to indicate whether the item is selected or not.

Creating React Application And Installing Module:

• Step 1: Create a React application using the following command:

  npx create-react-app foldername

• Step 2: After creating your project folder i.e. foldername, move to it using the following command:

  cd foldername

• Step 3: After creating the ReactJS application, Install the required module using the following command:

  npm install react-desktop

Project Structure: It will look like the following.

Project Structure

Example: Now write down the following code in the App.js file. Here, App is our default component where we have written our code.

App.js

import React, { useState } from 'react'
import { SegmentedControl, SegmentedControlItem } from 'react-desktop/macOs';

export default function App() {

  // Our State object
  const [currentSelection, setCurrentSelection] = useState(1)

  return (
    <div style={{
      display: 'block', width: 700, paddingLeft: 30
    }}>
      <h4>React-Desktop macOS SegmentedControl Component</h4>
      <SegmentedControl box>
        <SegmentedControlItem
          key={1}
          title={"TAB 1"}
          selected={currentSelection === 1}
          onSelect={() => setCurrentSelection(1)}
        >
          Sample Text 1
        </SegmentedControlItem>
        <SegmentedControlItem
          key={2}
          title={"TAB 2"}
          selected={currentSelection === 2}
          onSelect={() => setCurrentSelection(2)}
        >
          Sample Text 2
        </SegmentedControlItem>
      </SegmentedControl>
    </div>
  );
}

Step to Run Application: Run the application using the following command from the root directory of the project:

npm start

Output: Now open your browser and go to http://localhost:3000/, you will see the following output:
