I want to update value of one object only but updating value of one Object, Updates the value for all objects.
let default = {
name: \'\',
age: \'\'
}
th
There are four significant problems in that code.
You're using the same object for all entries in your array. If you want to have different objects, you have to create multiple copies of the default.
You're calling setState
incorrectly. Any time you're setting state based on existing state (and you're setting values
based, indirectly, on this.state.values
), you must use the function callback version of setState
. More: State Updates May Be Asynchronous
You can't directly modify the object held in this.state.values
; instead, you must make a copy of the object and modify that. More: Do Not Modify State Directly
default
is a keyword (even though it's not currently used), you can't use it as an identifier. Let's use defaultValue
instead.
Here's one way you can address all three (see comments):
// #4 - `default` is a keyword
let defaultValue = {
name: '',
age: ''
};
this.state = {
// #1 - copy default, don't use it directly
values: [
Object.assign({}, defaultValue),
Object.assign({}, defaultValue)
] // <=== Side note - no ; here!
}
updateName (event) {
let index = event.target.id,
// #2 - state updates working from current state MUST use
// the function callback version of setState
this.setState(prevState => {
// #3 - don't modify state directly - copy the array...
values = prevState.values.slice();
// ...and the object, doing the update
values[index] = {...values[index], name: event.target.value};
return {values};
});
}
Note that this line in the above:
values[index] = {...values[index], name: event.target.value};
...uses syntax from this JavaScript enhancement proposal, currently at Stage 4 (it will be in the ES2018 snapshot spec) and commonly enabled in React build environments.
I would use the Array.prototype.map function with combination of the object spread syntax (stage 4):
Note that i changed the name of the default
object to obj
.
default
is a reserved key word in javascript
let obj = {
name: '',
age: ''
}
this.state = {
values: Array(2).fill(obj)
}
updateName(event){
const {id, value} = event.target;
this.setState(prev => {
const {values} = prev;
const nextState = values.map((o,idx) => {
if(idx !== id)
return o; // not our object, return as is
return{
...o,
name: value;
}
});
return{
values: nextState
}
});
}
There is an easy and safe way to achieve that through the following:
this.setState({
values: [ newObject, ...this.state.values],
});
this will create an instance of the state and change the value of an existing object with new object.
