React Hooks Html Input On Change

React Hooks are a new feature introduced in React 16.8 that allow developers to use state and other React features without writing a class component. In this tutorial, we will explore React Hooks and how to use them to handle HTML input onChange events.

Prerequisites

Before we dive into React Hooks, you should have some basic knowledge of JavaScript, HTML, and React.

Getting Started

First, let's create a basic HTML form with an input field and a label:

<form>
  <label htmlFor="input-text">Input Text:</label>
  <input id="input-text" type="text" />
</form>

Next, let's use React to render this form:

import React from 'react';

function App() {
  return (
    <form>
      <label htmlFor="input-text">Input Text:</label>
      <input id="input-text" type="text" />
    </form>
  );
}

export default App;

Handling HTML Input onChange Events with React Hooks

Now that we have our basic form, let's use React Hooks to handle the input's onChange event. We will use the useState hook to store the input's value in state.

import React, { useState } from 'react';

function App() {
  const [text, setText] = useState('');

  const handleChange = (event) => {
    setText(event.target.value);
  };

  return (
    <form>
      <label htmlFor="input-text">Input Text:</label>
      <input id="input-text" type="text" value={text} onChange={handleChange} />
    </form>
  );
}

export default App;

In the code above, we use the useState hook to create a state variable called text and a function called setText to update its value. We initialize text to an empty string. We also define a new function called handleChange that sets the new value of text whenever the input's value changes. Finally, we pass value={text} and onChange={handleChange} to the input element to handle its value and onChange events.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we learned about React Hooks and how to use them to handle HTML input onChange events. Using React Hooks simplifies state management and makes it easier to handle events in React functional components. We hope you found this tutorial informative and useful. Happy coding!
