React component for simple voting system, easy to customize and internationalize

How to install

Live Demo

npm install react-vote --save

Change in v3

All options such as multiple, expansion, downvote, autoClose, showTotal, etc. are now available in the data object. You can now control the whole vote system with one data object. Thus, multiple, expansion, total, downvote, autoClose props are omitted.

How to use

For a new voting system, Do NOT put the data prop.

Put onCreate, onEdit, onUpvote, onDownvote, onClose, onReset, onExpand callback functions to get voting data and connect with database.

Use unique identifier of client IP address as clientId to check whether the client already voted or not.

You can only create, edit, reset or close vote when isAdmin prop is true. Make it false when you open vote to others.

var ReactVote = require('react-vote'); // or import ReactVote from 'react-vote';
<ReactVote
  styles={customStyle}
  text={customText}
  onCreate={onCreate}
  onUpvote={onUpvote}
  onClose={onClose}
  onReset={onReset}
  isAdmin={true}
  clientId={clientId}
/>

You can get voting data as a parameter inside the callback function. See Props section below for more information.

function onCreate (data, diff) {
 // Save data into the  databasehere!
 console.log(data); // { title: 'title of this vote', items: [{ title: 'option1', count: 5, voters: ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e'] }, { title: 'option2', count: 3, voters: ['f', 'g', 'h'] }], closed: false, multiple: false, expansion: false, voters: ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h'] }
}

For ongoing vote or voting result, fetch vote data from the database and put it into the data prop. This component will read the data prop and execute it. The structure of data prop is detailed below.

<ReactVote
  data={data} // put data object here and you will get ongoing vote
  onUpvote={onUpvote}
  isAdmin={false}
  clientId={clientId}
  styles={customStyle}
  text={customText}
  errorMessage={customMessage}
/>

Preview

I didn't put any css codes for your customization. You can use styles prop to style it in your own way. styles prop is detailed in below. Also, you can change texts by using text prop.
