React-dnd: Uncaught Error: Cannot have two HTML5 backends at the same time.

Created on 20 Apr 2017  ·  3Comments  ·  Source: react-dnd/react-dnd

I am trying to make a POC with Rails5, action Cable, React and Rails and React DnD.

The purpose is to make an app like trello but for an recruitment process.

My front is in ReactJS.

I have 3 components, first, the container call "Candidates", this component call 2 "CardBoard" components that call "Card" component.

I user react DnD library for draggable card and droppable CardBoard. when i drop card on cardboard, i use a post call and a websocket(action cable from rails5) for update my state. I don't understand why i have this message after the post call :

Candidate.jsx =

    this.state = {
      candidates: this.props.candidates

    this.filterByStatus = this.filterByStatus.bind(this)
  }

  componentDidMount() {
    this.setupSubscription();
  }

  setupSubscription() {
    App.candidate = App.cable.subscriptions.create("CandidateChannel", {
      connected: () => {
        console.log("User connected !")
      },

      received: (data) => {
        this.setState({ candidates: data.candidates })
      },
    });
   }

  render() {
    return (
      <DragDropContextProvider backend={HTML5Backend}>
        <div className="recruitment">
          {
            ["À Rencontrer", "Entretien"].map((status, index) => {
              return (
                <CardBoard candidates={(this.filterByStatus({status}))} status={status} key={index} />

            })
          }
        </div>
      </DragDropContextProvider>
    );
  } 
}

CardBoard.jsx =

import React, { PropTypes } from 'react';
import Card from './Card.jsx';
import { DropTarget } from 'react-dnd';
import ItemTypes from './ItemTypes';

const cardTarget = {
  drop(props: Props) {
    var status = ''

    if(props.status == "À Rencontrer") {
      status = 'to_book'
    } else {
      status = 'interview'
    }

    return { status: status };

Card.jsx=

      console.log(`You dropped ${item.candidate_id} vers ${dropResult.status} !`);
      $.post(`/update_status/${item.candidate_id}/${dropResult.status}`);
    }
  },
};

@DragSource(ItemTypes.CARD, cardSource, (connect, monitor) => ({
  connectDragSource: connect.dragSource(),
  isDragging: monitor.isDragging(),

  render() {
    const { isDragging, connectDragSource } = this.props;
    const { name } = this.props;
    const opacity = isDragging ? 0 : 1;

    var candidate = this.props.candidate;

    return (
      connectDragSource(
        <div className="card" key={candidate.id} style={{opacity}}>
          <div className="content">
            <div className="header">{`${candidate.first_name} ${candidate.last_name}`}</div>
            <div className="description">
              {candidate.job_title}
            </div>
            <span className="right floated">
              <i className="heart outline like icon"></i>
              {candidate.average_rate}
            </span>
          </div>
        </div>
      )
    );

}

@antoineBernard I recently spent a whole day trying to get past the same error. It might be a similar problem as yours, though I'm not sure. Try one of 2 things:

  1. Try moving your <DragDropContextProvider> to the parent component of Candidates.jsx.
  2. Use the singleton pattern to ensure only a single instance of DragDropContext is initialised throughout your app. I used @gcorne's suggestion with success.

Hope it works for you too!
