Answer 1

The Easiest Way For Me is useRef

With useRef it's pretty simple. Just add ref name and then submit.

const email = useRef(null);

function submitForm(e){
 e.preventDefault();
 
 console.log(email.current.value);
}

return (
 <div>
  <form onSubmit={submitForm}>
   <input type="text" ref={email} />
   <button>Submit</button>
  </form>
 </div>
)

Use <form> tag with useRef hook

Wrap your <InputField> tags with an html <form> tag and put a react ref on the later. Like this:

import React, { Component, useRef } from 'react'
import { render } from 'react-dom'

import InputField from './inputfield'

import './style.css'

function App () {
  const nameForm = useRef(null)

  const handleClickEvent = () => {
     const form = nameForm.current
     alert(`${form['firstname'].value} ${form['lastname'].value}`)
  }

  return (
    <div>
      <form ref={nameForm}>
       <InputField label={'first name'} name={'firstname'}/>
       <InputField label={'last name'} name={'lastname'}/>
      </form>
      <button onClick={handleClickEvent}>gett value</button>
    </div>
  )
}

render(<App />, document.getElementById('root'))
