I need to get computed background color a parent element to pass to an Image component. This is needed as I'm using the Contentful API to render images on the fly, and I have to supply a bg color query param.
Currently this isn't working:
import Card, { CardContent } from 'components/Card';
import React, { Component, PropTypes } from 'react';
import Image from 'components/Image';
import Link from 'react-router/lib/Link';
export default class Expertise extends Component {
componentDidMount() {
console.log(window.getComputedStyle(this._bg, null).getPropertyValue('backgroundColor'));
}
_renderColumned() {
return (
<Card
layout={this.props.layout}
additionalClasses={['expertise-item-container']}
automationId={`expertise-container-${this.props.id}`}
ref={node => (this._bg = node)}
>
<CardContent layout={'text'} theme={'transparent'} padded>
<h3 className="expertise-headline h4" data-automation={`expertise-headline-${this.props.id}`}>
<span className="h1 card-grid-enumeration">{this.props.displayNumber}</span>
{this.props.headline}
</h3>
<p className="expertise-description" data-automation={`expertise-description-${this.props.id}`}>{this.props.description}</p>
{ this.props.url && this.props.linkText ?
<Link className="expertise-link" data-automation={`expertise-link-${this.props.id}`} to={this.props.url}>{this.props.linkText}</Link> :
null }
</CardContent>
<CardContent layout={'image'} theme={'transparent'} padded>
<Image url={this.props.media.url} alt={this.props.media.alt} aspectRatio={'rectangle'} fit={'pad'} automationId={`expertise-image-${this.props.id}`} background={"F4F4F4"} />
</CardContent>
</Card>
);
}
_renderStacked() {
return (
<div
className="expertise-item-container centered"
data-automation={`expertise-container-${this.props.id}`}
// ref={image => (this._image = image)}
ref={node => (this._bg = node)}
>
<h3 className="expertise-headline h4" data-automation={`expertise-headline-${this.props.id}`}>
<span className="h1 card-grid-enumeration">{this.props.displayNumber}</span>
{this.props.headline}
</h3>
<p className="expertise-description" data-automation={`expertise-description-${this.props.id}`}>{this.props.description}</p>
<Image url={this.props.media.url} alt={this.props.media.alt} aspectRatio={'banner'} fit={'pad'} automationId={`expertise-image-${this.props.id}`} ref={node => (this._image = node)} background={"F4F4F4"} />
{ this.props.url && this.props.linkText ?
<Link className="expertise-link" data-automation={`expertise-link-${this.props.id}`} to={this.props.url}>{this.props.linkText}</Link> :
null }
</div>
);
}
render() {
return this.props.layout === 'columned' ?
this._renderColumned() :
this._renderStacked();
}
}
Expertise.propTypes = {
id: PropTypes.string.isRequired,
layout: PropTypes.oneOf(['columned', 'stacked']).isRequired,
headline: PropTypes.string.isRequired,
description: PropTypes.string.isRequired,
media: PropTypes.object.isRequired,
url: PropTypes.string,
linkText: PropTypes.string,
displayNumber: PropTypes.number.isRequired
};

Specifically, getComputedStyle
reports Uncaught TypeError: Failed to execute 'getComputedStyle' on 'Window': parameter 1 is not of type 'Element'.
Just trying to get the background-color
successfully, eventually I would compare this to the default given in the background prop to the Image component.
