I have a simple form in my render function, like so:
render : function() {
return (
<form>
<input type="text" name="email" placeholder="Email" />
<input type="password" name="password" placeholder="Password" />
<button type="button" onClick={this.handleLogin}>Login</button>
</form>
);
},
handleLogin: function() {
//How to access email and password here ?
}
What should I write in my handleLogin: function() { ... } to access Email and Password fields ?
Use the change events on the inputs to update the component's state and access it in handleLogin:
handleEmailChange: function(e) {
this.setState({email: e.target.value});
},
handlePasswordChange: function(e) {
this.setState({password: e.target.value});
},
render : function() {
return (
<form>
<input type="text" name="email" placeholder="Email" value={this.state.email} onChange={this.handleEmailChange} />
<input type="password" name="password" placeholder="Password" value={this.state.password} onChange={this.handlePasswordChange}/>
<button type="button" onClick={this.handleLogin}>Login</button>
</form>);
},
handleLogin: function() {
console.log("EMail: " + this.state.email);
console.log("Password: " + this.state.password);
}

Also, read the docs, there is a whole section dedicated to form handling: http://facebook.github.io/react/docs/forms.html
Previously you could also use React's two-way databinding helper mixin to achieve the same thing, but now it's deprecated in favor of setting the value and change handler (as above):
var ExampleForm = React.createClass({
mixins: [React.addons.LinkedStateMixin],
getInitialState: function() {
return {email: '', password: ''};
},
handleLogin: function() {
console.log("EMail: " + this.state.email);
console.log("Password: " + this.state.password);
},
render: function() {
return (
<form>
<input type="text" valueLink={this.linkState('email')} />
<input type="password" valueLink={this.linkState('password')} />
<button type="button" onClick={this.handleLogin}>Login</button>
</form>
);
}
});
Documentation is here: http://facebook.github.io/react/docs/two-way-binding-helpers.html
There are a few ways to do this:
1) Get values from array of form elements by index
handleSubmit = (event) => {
event.preventDefault();
console.log(event.target[0].value)
}
2) Using name attribute in html
handleSubmit = (event) => {
event.preventDefault();
console.log(event.target.elements.username.value) // from elements property
console.log(event.target.username.value) // or directly
}
<input type="text" name="username"/>
3) Using refs
handleSubmit = (event) => {
console.log(this.inputNode.value)
}
<input type="text" name="username" ref={node => (this.inputNode = node)}/>
Full example
class NameForm extends React.Component {
handleSubmit = (event) => {
event.preventDefault()
console.log(event.target[0].value)
console.log(event.target.elements.username.value)
console.log(event.target.username.value)
console.log(this.inputNode.value)
}
render() {
return (
<form onSubmit={this.handleSubmit}>
<label>
Name:
<input
type="text"
name="username"
ref={node => (this.inputNode = node)}
/>
</label>
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
)
}
}
An alternative approach is to use the ref attribute and reference the values with this.refs. Here is a simple example:
render: function() {
return (<form onSubmit={this.submitForm}>
<input ref="theInput" />
</form>);
},
submitForm: function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
alert(React.findDOMNode(this.refs.theInput).value);
}
More info can be found in the React docs: https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/more-about-refs.html#the-ref-string-attribute
For a lot of the reasons described in How do I use radio buttons in React? this approach isn't always the best, but it does present a useful alternative in some simple cases.
An easy way to deal with refs:
class UserInfo extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.handleSubmit = this.handleSubmit.bind(this);
}
handleSubmit(e) {
e.preventDefault();
const formData = {};
for (const field in this.refs) {
formData[field] = this.refs[field].value;
}
console.log('-->', formData);
}
render() {
return (
<div>
<form onSubmit={this.handleSubmit}>
<input ref="phone" className="phone" type='tel' name="phone"/>
<input ref="email" className="email" type='tel' name="email"/>
<input type="submit" value="Submit"/>
</form>
</div>
);
}
}
export default UserInfo;You could switch the onClick event handler on the button to an onSubmit handler on the form:
render : function() {
return (
<form onSubmit={this.handleLogin}>
<input type="text" name="email" placeholder="Email" />
<input type="password" name="password" placeholder="Password" />
<button type="submit">Login</button>
</form>
);
},
Then you can make use of FormData to parse the form (and construct a JSON object from its entries if you want).
handleLogin: function(e) {
const formData = new FormData(e.target)
const user = {}
e.preventDefault()
for (let entry of formData.entries()) {
user[entry[0]] = entry[1]
}
// Do what you will with the user object here
}
I would suggest the following approach:
import {Autobind} from 'es-decorators';
export class Form extends Component {
@Autobind
handleChange(e) {
this.setState({[e.target.name]: e.target.value});
}
@Autobind
add(e) {
e.preventDefault();
this.collection.add(this.state);
this.refs.form.reset();
}
shouldComponentUpdate() {
return false;
}
render() {
return (
<form onSubmit={this.add} ref="form">
<input type="text" name="desination" onChange={this.handleChange}/>
<input type="date" name="startDate" onChange={this.handleChange}/>
<input type="date" name="endDate" onChange={this.handleChange}/>
<textarea name="description" onChange={this.handleChange}/>
<button type="submit">Add</button>
</form>
)
}
}
If all your inputs / textarea have a name, then you can filter all from event.target:
onSubmit(event){
const fields = Array.prototype.slice.call(event.target)
.filter(el => el.name)
.reduce((form, el) => ({
...form,
[el.name]: el.value,
}), {})
}
Totally uncontrolled form 😊 without onChange methods, value, defaultValue...
Also, this can be used too.
handleChange: function(state,e) {
this.setState({[state]: e.target.value});
},
render : function() {
return (
<form>
<input type="text" name="email" placeholder="Email" value={this.state.email} onChange={this.handleChange.bind(this, 'email')} />
<input type="password" name="password" placeholder="Password" value={this.state.password} onChange={this.handleChange.bind(this, 'password')}/>
<button type="button" onClick={this.handleLogin}>Login</button>
</form>
);
},
handleLogin: function() {
console.log("EMail: ", this.state.email);
console.log("Password: ", this.state.password);
}
Give your inputs ref like this
<input type="text" name="email" placeholder="Email" ref="email" />
<input type="password" name="password" placeholder="Password" ref="password" />
then you can access it in your handleLogin like soo
handleLogin: function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
console.log(this.refs.email.value)
console.log(this.refs.password.value)
}
If you are using Redux in your project you can consider using this higher order component https://github.com/erikras/redux-form.
In many events in javascript, we have event which give an object including what event happened and what are the values, etc...
That's what we use with forms in ReactJs as well...
So in your code you set the state to the new value... something like this:
class UserInfo extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.handleLogin = this.handleLogin.bind(this);
}
handleLogin(e) {
e.preventDefault();
for (const field in this.refs) {
this.setState({this.refs[field]: this.refs[field].value});
}
}
render() {
return (
<div>
<form onSubmit={this.handleLogin}>
<input ref="email" type="text" name="email" placeholder="Email" />
<input ref="password" type="password" name="password" placeholder="Password" />
<button type="button">Login</button>
</form>
</div>
);
}
}
export default UserInfo;
Also this is the form example in React v.16, just as reference for the form you creating in the future:
class NameForm extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {value: ''};
this.handleChange = this.handleChange.bind(this);
this.handleSubmit = this.handleSubmit.bind(this);
}
handleChange(event) {
this.setState({value: event.target.value});
}
handleSubmit(event) {
alert('A name was submitted: ' + this.state.value);
event.preventDefault();
}
render() {
return (
<form onSubmit={this.handleSubmit}>
<label>
Name:
<input type="text" value={this.state.value} onChange={this.handleChange} />
</label>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
);
}
}
onChange(event){
console.log(event.target.value);
}
handleSubmit(event){
event.preventDefault();
const formData = {};
for (const data in this.refs) {
formData[data] = this.refs[data].value;
}
console.log(formData);
}
<form onSubmit={this.handleSubmit.bind(this)}>
<input type="text" ref="username" onChange={this.onChange} className="form-control"/>
<input type="text" ref="password" onChange={this.onChange} className="form-control"/>
<button type="submit" className="btn-danger btn-sm">Search</button>
</form>
Adding on to Michael Schock's answer:
class MyForm extends React.Component {
constructor() {
super();
this.handleSubmit = this.handleSubmit.bind(this);
}
handleSubmit(event) {
event.preventDefault();
const data = new FormData(event.target);
console.log(data.get('email')); // reference by form input's `name` tag
fetch('/api/form-submit-url', {
method: 'POST',
body: data,
});
}
render() {
return (
<form onSubmit={this.handleSubmit}>
<label htmlFor="username">Enter username</label>
<input id="username" name="username" type="text" />
<label htmlFor="email">Enter your email</label>
<input id="email" name="email" type="email" />
<label htmlFor="birthdate">Enter your birth date</label>
<input id="birthdate" name="birthdate" type="text" />
<button>Send data!</button>
</form>
);
}
}
See this Medium article: How to Handle Forms with Just React
This method gets form data only when Submit button is pressed. Much cleaner IMO!
This might help Meteor (v1.3) users:
render: function() {
return (
<form onSubmit={this.submitForm.bind(this)}>
<input type="text" ref="email" placeholder="Email" />
<input type="password" ref="password" placeholder="Password" />
<button type="submit">Login</button>
</form>
);
},
submitForm: function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
console.log( this.refs.email.value );
console.log( this.refs.password.value );
}
More clear example with es6 destructing
class Form extends Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
login: null,
password: null,
email: null
}
}
onChange(e) {
this.setState({
[e.target.name]: e.target.value
})
}
onSubmit(e) {
e.preventDefault();
let login = this.state.login;
let password = this.state.password;
// etc
}
render() {
return (
<form onSubmit={this.onSubmit.bind(this)}>
<input type="text" name="login" onChange={this.onChange.bind(this)} />
<input type="password" name="password" onChange={this.onChange.bind(this)} />
<input type="email" name="email" onChange={this.onChange.bind(this)} />
<button type="submit">Sign Up</button>
</form>
);
}
}
To improve the user experience; when the user clicks on the submit button, you can try to get the form to first show a sending message. Once we've received a response from the server, it can update the message accordingly. We achieve this in React by chaining statuses. See codepen or snippets below:
The following method makes the first state change:
handleSubmit(e) {
e.preventDefault();
this.setState({ message: 'Sending...' }, this.sendFormData);
}
As soon as React shows the above Sending message on screen, it will call the method that will send the form data to the server: this.sendFormData(). For simplicity I've added a setTimeout to mimic this.
sendFormData() {
var formData = {
Title: this.refs.Title.value,
Author: this.refs.Author.value,
Genre: this.refs.Genre.value,
YearReleased: this.refs.YearReleased.value};
setTimeout(() => {
console.log(formData);
this.setState({ message: 'data sent!' });
}, 3000);
}
In React, the method this.setState() renders a component with new properties. So you can also add some logic in render() method of the form component that will behave differently depending on the type of response we get from the server. For instance:
render() {
if (this.state.responseType) {
var classString = 'alert alert-' + this.state.type;
var status = <div id="status" className={classString} ref="status">
{this.state.message}
</div>;
}
return ( ...
If you have multiple occurrences of an element name, then you have to use forEach().
html
<input type="checkbox" name="delete" id="flizzit" />
<input type="checkbox" name="delete" id="floo" />
<input type="checkbox" name="delete" id="flum" />
<input type="submit" value="Save" onClick={evt => saveAction(evt)}></input>
js
const submitAction = (evt) => {
evt.preventDefault();
const dels = evt.target.parentElement.delete;
const deleted = [];
dels.forEach((d) => { if (d.checked) deleted.push(d.id); });
window.alert(deleted.length);
};
Note the dels in this case is a RadioNodeList, not an array, and is not an Iterable. The forEach()is a built-in method of the list class. You will not be able to use a map() or reduce() here.
I use like this using React Component state:
<input type="text" name='value' value={this.state.value} onChange={(e) => this.handleChange(e)} />
handleChange(e){
this.setState({[e.target.name]: e.target.value})
}`
