How to make dynamic state for multiple fields in react?
You need to create dynamic form inputs right? So what you can do is you can pass the name of the product to you handler this.handleChange('productName')
and then you can do something like following. In your case you will need to use computed property name so as to dynamically set the state(like you are already doing)
handleChange = name => event => {
//more logic here as per the requirement
this.setState({
[name]: event.target.value,
});
};
Or you can create seperate onChange handlers each for product, price, quantity.
handleProductChange = (name) => (evt) => {
const newProducts = this.state.products.map((product, pidx) => {
if (name !== product.productName) return product;
return { ...product, productName: evt.target.value };
});
this.setState({ products: newProducts });
}
Quick flow: When product onChange occurrs you can store the product in the procucts array(in state) and when price change will occure you can send the product name along with it and map the product with price and quantity.
Here you can find a nice JS bin replica with React, of exact same thing you want to achieve.
You can add name
attribute to each input component and make one handler method which get the name as an argument.
handleInputChange(event) {
const value = event.target.value;
const name = event.target.name;
this.setState({
[name]: value
});
}
You can read more about how to handle multiple inputs on React docs.
you can create dynamic select field using react js
**Code sample:**
const templates = [
{'id': 1, 'value': 'JavaScript', 'name': 'JavaScript'},
{'id': 2, 'value': 'React', 'name': 'React'},
{'id': 3, 'value': 'Angular', 'name': 'Angular'},
{'id': 4, 'value': 'Node', 'name': 'Node'},
{'id': 5, 'value': 'Vue', 'name': 'Vue'},
]
class Dynamic extends React.Component {
state={
selectedTemplates: ""
}
onChange = (e) => {
console.log(e)
// selected value store into state
this.setState({
selectedTemplates: e.target.value
});
};
render() {
return (
<div>
<h2>Dynamic Select(Options):</h2>
<select className="form-control"
value={this.state.value}
onChange={(e) => this.onChange(e.target.value)}
>
{
templates.map(msgTemplate => {
return (
<option
key={msgTemplate.id}
name={msgTemplate.name}
value={msgTemplate.text}
>
{msgTemplate.name}
</option>
)
})
}
</select>
</div>
)
}
}
React.render(<Dynamic />, document.getElementById('app'));

Simple example for the state variables looks like:
this.state = {
test: 'hello'
}
you can get the state values dynamically by
let field_name = 'test';
let data = this.state[field_name];
you can set the state or replace the state like
let field_name = 'test';
this.setState({[field_name]: 'new'}) // test: 'new'
complex state replace like
let field_names = {key: 'test'}
this.setState({[field_name.key]: 'ok'}) // test: 'ok'
console.log(this.state[field_name.key]) // test: 'ok'
You can also use the Template literals like
this.setState({`${field_name.key}`: 'ok'}) // test: 'ok'
console.log(this.state[`${field_name.key}`]) // test: 'ok'
Superb, you got the solution.
