blog-dashboard

Here's a simple implementation of a blog dashboard with React and TypeScript. The component will display a list of blog posts, and when you click on a post, it will display more details.

First, let's define a TypeScript interface for the blog post:

interface BlogPost {
id: number;
title: string;
summary: string;
content: string; // For simplicity, we'll just have a content string.
}

Now let's create a BlogDashboard component:

import React, { useState } from 'react';

// Define the props for the BlogPost component
interface BlogPostProps {
post: BlogPost;
onSelect: (post: BlogPost) => void;
}

// Define the BlogPost component
const BlogPostComponent: React.FC<BlogPostProps> = ({ post, onSelect }) => {
return (
<div onClick={() => onSelect(post)}>
<h2>{post.title}</h2>
<p>{post.summary}</p>
</div>
);
};

// Define the main BlogDashboard component
const BlogDashboard: React.FC = () => {
const [posts] = useState<BlogPost[]>([
// Here we'd fetch this data from an API, but we'll hardcode it for now
{ id: 1, title: 'Post One', summary: 'This is the summary for post one', content: 'This is the content for post one...' },
{ id: 2, title: 'Post Two', summary: 'This is the summary for post two', content: 'This is the content for post two...' },
// Add more posts as needed
]);

const [selectedPost, setSelectedPost] = useState<BlogPost | null>(null);

return (
<div>
<h1>Blog Dashboard</h1>
<div style={{ display: 'flex' }}>
<div style={{ marginRight: '20px' }}>
<h2>Posts</h2>
{posts.map((post) => (
<BlogPostComponent key={post.id} post={post} onSelect={setSelectedPost} />
))}
</div>
<div>
{selectedPost ? (
<>
<h2>{selectedPost.title}</h2>
<p>{selectedPost.content}</p>
</>
) : (
<p>Select a post to view details</p>
)}
</div>
</div>
</div>
);
};

export default BlogDashboard;

In this implementation:

  • We use the useState hook to store the list of posts and the currently selected post.
  • BlogPostComponent is a child component that renders the title and summary of a post. It accepts a post object and an onSelect function that will be called with the post when the component is clicked.
  • In BlogDashboard, we render a list of BlogPostComponent elements, each representing a post.
  • When a post is clicked, setSelectedPost is called, and the detailed view for that post is rendered on the right.

This is a very simple version of what a blog dashboard could look like. In a real application, you would likely have more complex post objects, and you would fetch the posts from a server using an effect hook (useEffect) and perhaps store the state using a more robust state management solution. You would also have more interactive UI elements and possibly an editor for writing and updating posts.
