I'm starting with React and I tried to create a simple form that says Hello name!
However I feel having 2 state elements isn't the right way to do this.
Does anyone knows or believes there's a better way to do this?
By the way, I know I can just bind the name state to the h2, but I want it to happen on click.
var Name = React.createClass({
getInitialState:function(){
return {
inputname:'',
h2name:''
};
},
showName:function(event){
event.preventDefault();
this.setState({h2name:this.state.inputname});
},
updateName:function(event){
this.setState({inputname:event.target.value});
}
,
render:function(){
return (
<div>
<form onSubmit={this.showName}>
<input onChange={this.updateName} placeholder="Enter your name"></input>
<button type="submit">Show</button>
</form>
<h2>Hello {this.state.h2name}!</h2>
</div>
);
}
});
ReactDOM.render(<Name />,document.getElementById('mount-point'));

one state is enough.
var Name = React.createClass({
getInitialState: function () {
return {
inputname: ''
};
},
showName: function (event) {
event.preventDefault();
this.setState({ inputname: this.refs.inputname.value });
},
render: function () {
return (
<div>
<input ref="inputname" placeholder="Enter your name"></input>
<button onClick={this.showName}>Show</button>
<h2>Hello {this.state.inputname}!</h2>
</div>
);
}
});
ReactDOM.render(<Name />, document.getElementById('root'));
you can use refs to get the input value. I think you want this effect, here is the demo
here is the document of refs more-about-refs
