CONTEXT
I'm trying to get the value of an input field from a stateless component inside another stateless component and then use it to call a method. I'm using rebass for my UI component and doing this in Meteor + Mantra.
I understand that I could do this by using refs if I were using <input>
HTML fields and not another stateless component.
PROBLEM
My current code yield preventDefault of undefined, and when removed, the console.log prints out each time the input changes, not on submit. I believe that my state applies to the entire Dashboard component, instead of the stateless Rebass <Input/>
, but I do not know how to change this.
import React from 'react';
import {PageHeader, Container, Input,Button} from 'rebass';
class Dashboard extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = { websiteUrl: ''};
this.onInputChange = this.onInputChange.bind(this);
this.onFormSubmit = this.onFormSubmit.bind(this);
}
onInputChange(event) {
this.setState({websiteUrl:event.target.value});
}
onFormSubmit() {
event.preventDefault;
const {create} = this.props;
const {websiteUrl} = this.state.websiteUrl;
console.log(this.state.websiteUrl);
create(websiteUrl);
}
render() {
const { error } = this.props;
return (
<div>
<PageHeader
description="Dashboard Page"
heading="Dashboard"
/>
<Container>
<form>
<Input
value={this.state.websiteUrl}
type="text"
buttonLabel="Add Website"
label="Website"
name="add_website"
onChange={this.onInputChange}
/>
<Button
backgroundColor="primary"
color="white"
inverted={true}
rounded={true}
onClick={this.onFormSubmit()}
> Add Website </Button>
</form>
</Container>
</div>
);
}
}
export default Dashboard;
You should pass an event
to the onFormSubmit
function:
<Button
backgroundColor="primary"
color="white"
inverted={true}
rounded={true}
onClick={(event) => this.onFormSubmit(event)}
