create dynamic form fields using react code example
Example 1: dynamic forms in react
class App extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = { values: [] };
this.handleSubmit = this.handleSubmit.bind(this);
}
createUI(){
return this.state.values.map((el, i) =>
<div key={i}>
<input type="text" value={el||''} onChange={this.handleChange.bind(this, i)} />
<input type='button' value='remove' onClick={this.removeClick.bind(this, i)}/>
</div>
)
}
handleChange(i, event) {
let values = [...this.state.values];
values[i] = event.target.value;
this.setState({ values });
}
addClick(){
this.setState(prevState => ({ values: [...prevState.values, '']}))
}
removeClick(i){
let values = [...this.state.values];
values.splice(i,1);
this.setState({ values });
}
handleSubmit(event) {
alert('A name was submitted: ' + this.state.values.join(', '));
event.preventDefault();
}
render() {
return (
<form onSubmit={this.handleSubmit}>
{this.createUI()}
<input type='button' value='add more' onClick={this.addClick.bind(this)}/>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
);
}
}
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('container'));
Example 2: create dynamic fields in react
import React, { useState } from "react";
function App() {
const [inputList, setInputList] = useState([{ firstName: "", lastName: "" }]);
const handleInputChange = (e, index) => {
const { name, value } = e.target;
const list = [...inputList];
list[index][name] = value;
setInputList(list);
};
const handleRemoveClick = index => {
const list = [...inputList];
list.splice(index, 1);
setInputList(list);
};
const handleAddClick = () => {
setInputList([...inputList, { firstName: "", lastName: "" }]);
};
return (
<div className="App">
<h3><a href="https://cluemediator.com">Clue Mediator</a></h3>
{inputList.map((x, i) => {
return (
<div className="box">
<input
name="firstName"
placeholder="Enter First Name"
value={x.firstName}
onChange={e => handleInputChange(e, i)}
/>
<input
className="ml10"
name="lastName"
placeholder="Enter Last Name"
value={x.lastName}
onChange={e => handleInputChange(e, i)}
/>
<div className="btn-box">
{inputList.length !== 1 && <button
className="mr10"
onClick={() => handleRemoveClick(i)}>Remove</button>}
{inputList.length - 1 === i && <button onClick={handleAddClick}>Add</button>}
</div>
</div>
);
})}
<div style={{ marginTop: 20 }}>{JSON.stringify(inputList)}</div>
</div>
);
}
export default App;
