I am using a variable below.
var newInput = {
title: this.inputTitle.value,
entry: this.inputEntry.value
};
This is used by my i
The way I cleared my form input values was to add an id to my form tag. Then when I handleSubmit I call this.clearForm()
In the clearForm function I then use document.getElementById("myForm").reset();
import React, {Component } from 'react';
import './App.css';
import Button from './components/Button';
import Input from './components/Input';
class App extends Component {
state = {
item: "",
list: []
}
componentDidMount() {
this.clearForm();
}
handleFormSubmit = event => {
this.clearForm()
event.preventDefault()
const item = this.state.item
this.setState ({
list: [...this.state.list, item],
})
}
handleInputChange = event => {
this.setState ({
item: event.target.value
})
}
clearForm = () => {
document.getElementById("myForm").reset();
this.setState({
item: ""
})
}
render() {
return (
<form id="myForm">
<Input
name="textinfo"
onChange={this.handleInputChange}
value={this.state.item}
/>
<Button
onClick={this.handleFormSubmit}
> </Button>
</form>
);
}
}
export default App;
