I have two components. One named 'Adduser' containing form elements so that a user may add details of post. Other named 'PostAdded', in which i want to show all posts in a list item. On every click, I want 'Adduser' to grab data from input elements and pass it to 'PostAdded' in a way that 'PostAdded' show every individual post(title and post together) in a new div instead of updating previous one. What is the best approach to do it?
File 'Adduser.js'
class AddUser extends Component {
constructor(props) {
super();
this.state = {
title : "",
post : "",
}
this.handleclick = this.handleclick.bind(this);
}
handleclick() {
this.setState(prevState => ({
title : document.getElementById("title").value,
post : document.getElementById("post").value,
}));
}
render() {
return(
<div>
<input type="text" id="title" placeholder="Title here" />
<input type="text" id="post" placeholder="Post here" />
<input type="button" onClick={this.handleclick} value="Add Post" />
<PostAdded posts={this.state.post} />
</div>
)
}
}
export default AddUser;
File 'PostAdded.js'
import React, {Component} from 'react';
class PostAdded extends Component {
constructor(props) {
super();
}
render() {
return <ul>
{ this.props.posts.map(post =>
<li>{post}</li>
)}
</ul>
}
}
export default PostAdded;

In AddUser
component change your state
and handleclick
method. I have not modified your code too much so you can understand it easily.
class AddUser extends Component {
constructor(props) {
super();
this.state = {
posts: [],
}
this.handleclick = this.handleclick.bind(this);
}
handleclick() {
// accessing values from the input
let title = document.getElementById("title").value
let post = document.getElementById("post").value
// creating a new object
let newPostObj = {title, post}
// concatenating new object to component posts state
let newPost = this.state.posts.concat(newPostObj)
// setting newPost as component new state
this.setState({
posts: newPost
})
// emptying the input fields
document.getElementById("title").value = ''
document.getElementById("post").value = ''
}
render() {
return(
<div>
<input type="text" id="title" placeholder="Title here" />
<input type="text" id="post" placeholder="Post here" />
<input type="button" onClick={this.handleclick} value="Add Post" />
<PostAdded posts={this.state.posts} />
</div>
)
}
}
In your PostAdded
component update render()
method
class PostAdded extends Component {
constructor(props) {
super();
}
render() {
return (
<ul>
{ this.props.posts.map((post, i) =>
<li key={`${i}-post`}><span>{post.title}</span><span>{post.post}</span></li>
)}
</ul>
)
}
}
UPDATE
Change your AddUser
Component
class AddUser extends Component {
constructor(props) {
super();
this.state = {
posts: [],
title: '',
post: ''
}
this.handleClick = this.handleClick.bind(this);
this.handleChange = this.handleChange.bind(this);
}
// called when we type something in input fields
handleChange(e) {
// you can console log here to see e.target.name and e.target.value
this.setState({
[e.target.name]: e.target.value
})
}
handleClick() {
// using spread operator to copy previous state posts and adding new post object
let newPosts = [ ...this.state.posts, { title: this.state.title, post: this.state.post}]
this.setState({
posts: newPosts,
title: '',
post: ''
})
}
render() {
return(
<div>
// added name,value attributes and onChange listener
<input type="text" name="title" value={this.state.title} onChange={this.handleChange} placeholder="Title here" />
<input type="text" name="post" value={this.state.post} onChange={this.handleChange} placeholder="Post here" />
<input type="button" onClick={this.handleClick} value="Add Post" />
<PostAdded posts={this.state.posts} />
</div>
)
}
}
