Events of Web Components in React

An improvement would be to extract the event listener callback function in order to remove the listener when the component unmounts.

import React from 'react';

import 'road-dropdown';

const Dropdown = ({ label, option, options, onChange }) => {
  const ref = React.useRef();

  React.useLayoutEffect(() => {
    const handleChange = customEvent => onChange(customEvent.detail);

    const { current } = ref;

    current.addEventListener('onChange', handleChange);

    // returning the callback in order to remove the listener when the component unmounts.
    return () => current.removeEventListener('onChange', handleChange);
  }, [ref]);

  return (
    <road-dropdown
      ref={ref}
      label={label}
      option={option}
      options={JSON.stringify(options)}
    />
  );
};
That's it for adding an event listener for

React to Web Components

Below works with the useCustomElement React Hook which can be installed via npm install use-custom-element:

import React from 'react';

import 'road-dropdown';

import useCustomElement from 'use-custom-element';

const Dropdown = props => {
  const [customElementProps, ref] = useCustomElement(props);

  return <road-dropdown {...customElementProps} ref={ref} />;
};
