React.js: How to override css property?

Question

I have a footer in which its margin-left should adjust whenever I click the minimize sidebar menu. The margin-left property is declare on CSS as 270px, however, when the sidebar is closed I want to margin-left property in CSS to be set at 90px.

I can get the value if the sidebar is opened or closed (true or false), on my footer component. See code below:

Footer.js

import React from "react";
import logo from "../../images/test-logo-footer.png";
import { MDBFooter } from "mdbreact";
import { useLayoutState } from "../../context/LayoutContext";

const Footer = () => {
  var { isSidebarOpened } = useLayoutState();

  return (
    <MDBFooter color="grey" className="text-center font-small lighten-5">
      {console.log("isSidebarOpened ", isSidebarOpened)}
      {isSidebarOpened && (
        <p className="footer-copyright mb-0 p-0 py-1 text-center">
          {
            <a href="#!" className="logo-wrapper waves-effect">
              <img alt="" className="img-fluid" src={logo} />
            </a>
          }
        </p>
      )}
    </MDBFooter>
  );
};

export default Footer;

As you can see above, the isSidebarOpened variable is true when sidebar is opened, false when closed.

CSS code below:

body {
  margin: 0;

  background-color: #007bff !important;
}

.page-footer {
  margin-left: 270px;
  /* margin-left: 90px; */
}

In the last part of CSS which is .page-footer, this is where the margin for the footer comes from. However, I'm not sure how does my footer page calls the CSS property, therefore, I don't know how to toggle it depending on the sidebar.

TIA

Answer 1

Use the styles as conditional too and add additional styles too

import React from "react";
import logo from "../../images/test-logo-footer.png";
import { MDBFooter } from "mdbreact";
import { useLayoutState } from "../../context/LayoutContext";

const Footer = () => {
  var { isSidebarOpened } = useLayoutState();

  return (
    <MDBFooter color="grey" className={isSidebarOpened?'margin1':'margin2'}>
      {console.log("isSidebarOpened ", isSidebarOpened)}
      //....
      )}
    </MDBFooter>
  );
};

export default Footer;

or

style={{isSidebarOpened?margin1:margin2}}

or

{isSidebarOpened?
<style1/> 
:<style2codes>
}

okay so i hope you know about the precedence in css that is inline css has higher priority than external css , so use internal css for that particular side bar issue
