React.js setting value of input

Question

I am a beginner with react.js and it\'s amazing but I am facing a real problem: I need to set the value of an input using plain and pure javascript but form some reason reac

Answer 1

I have written and use this function to trigger the change state for the field:

function doEvent( obj, event ) {
    /* Created by David@Refoua.me */
    var event = new Event( event, {target: obj, bubbles: true} );
    return obj ? obj.dispatchEvent(event) : false;
}

Use it like this:

var el = document.getElementById("CntctFrm2emailField");
el.value = "testing@gmail.com";
doEvent( el, 'input' );
