implementing dynamic forms in 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: "" }]);

  // handle input change
  const handleInputChange = (e, index) => {
    const { name, value } = e.target;
    const list = [...inputList];
    list[index][name] = value;
    setInputList(list);
  };

  // handle click event of the Remove button
  const handleRemoveClick = index => {
    const list = [...inputList];
    list.splice(index, 1);
    setInputList(list);
  };

  // handle click event of the Add button
  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;
