I get the following error message when I'm trying to run the website in my development environment:
Uncaught Error: ReactGridLayout:

I can't remember that I changed anything in the code and I also can't find anything related to the error message on Google. Can anyone tell me more about it or explain it to me? So i can look for a solution.

Answer 1

Seems I had to change this bit of code:
<ResponsiveReactGridLayout
onLayoutChange={this.onLayoutChange}
onBreakPointChange={this.onBreakPointChange}
{...this.props}>
{_.map(this.state.items, el => this.createElement(el))}
>
</ResponsiveReactGridLayout>
to this:
<ResponsiveReactGridLayout
{...this.props}
onBreakpointChange={this.onBreakpointChange}
onLayoutChange={this.onLayoutChange}>
{_.map(this.state.items, el => this.createElement(el))}
</ResponsiveReactGridLayout>
I think it has something to do with the order of rules of code and then especially this part:
>
{_.map(this.state.items, el => this.createElement(el))}
because this piece is outside the <ResponsiveReactGridLayout> now. I'm not sure if this is the right solution but it works for me. So if anyone has some additional information let me know please.
