Here we learn how to enhance the Issue feature with client-side filtering.

We'll cover the following...

Node.js
const ISSUE_STATES = {
  NONE: 'NONE',
  OPEN: 'OPEN',
  CLOSED: 'CLOSED',
};

Second, let’s implement a short function that decides whether it is a state to show the issues or not. This function can be defined in the same file.

Node.js
const isShow = issueState => issueState !== ISSUE_STATES.NONE;

Third, the function can be used for conditional rendering, to either query the issues and show the IssueList, or to do nothing. It’s not clear yet where the issueState property comes from.

C++
const Issues = ({ repositoryOwner, repositoryName }) => (
  <div className="Issues">
    {isShow(issueState) && (
      <Query ... >
        ...
      </Query>
    )}
  </div>
);
