Introducing react-chousy: Your New Go-To React Dropdown Component ?

[Sascha]

Are you tired of scattered ternary operators cluttering your JSX? Meet react-chousy — a lightweight utility that transforms messy conditional rendering into clean, readable code.

The Problem We All Face


We've all written code like this:


{isLoggedIn ? (
hasProfile ? (
<UserProfile />
) : (
<SetupProfile />
)
) : (
<LoginForm />
)}




It works, but it's not pretty. As conditions nest deeper, readability suffers and maintenance becomes a nightmare.

The Solution: Declarative Conditional Rendering


React Chousy introduces a JSX-friendly approach that makes your intentions crystal clear:


import { ConditionalRender } from 'react-chousy';

<ConditionalRender condition={isLoggedIn}>
{{
true: <UserDashboard />,
false: <LoginForm />
}}
</ConditionalRender>



Key Features That Matter

• ? Ultra-lightweight: Only ~300 bytes gzipped
• ? TypeScript native: Full type safety out of the box
• ? Tree-shakable: Import only what you need
• ? Zero dependencies: No bloat, just functionality
• Performance: No runtime overhead

Real-World Example


Here's how it handles complex nested conditions:


<ConditionalRender condition={user.isAuthenticated}>
{{
true: (
<ConditionalRender condition={user.hasCompletedOnboarding}>
{{
true: <MainApplication />,
false: <OnboardingFlow />
}}
</ConditionalRender>
),
false: <AuthenticationScreen />
}}
</ConditionalRender>




Compare this with traditional ternary operators — the difference in readability is striking.

Installation & Usage


npm install react-chousy




import { ConditionalRender } from 'react-chousy';

function App() {
const [isLoading, setIsLoading] = useState(false);

return (
<ConditionalRender condition={isLoading}>
{{
true: <LoadingSpinner />,
false: <MainContent />
}}
</ConditionalRender>
);
}
