useState to update multiple values in React

Question

I've a series of user data elements which I'm collecting inside a React component using hooks.

const [mobile, setMobile] = useState('');
const [username, setUsername] = useState('');
const [email, setEmail] = useState('');
const [password, setPassword] = useState('');
const [confirmPassword, setConfirmPassword] = useState('');

Each of these are updated as follows.

<input type="text"
       className="form-control"
       id="mobile"
       placeholder="Enter a valid mobile number"
       onChange={event => {setMobile(event.target.value)}}/>

Is there a more succint way to do this using an object as the variable?

Answer 1

You should add name attributes to input tags. Each name must refer to key in AllValues object.

const [allValues, setAllValues] = useState({
   mobile: '',
   username: '',
   email: '',
   password: '',
   confirmPassword: ''
});
const changeHandler = e => {
   setAllValues({...allValues, [e.target.name]: e.target.value})
}
return (
   <input type="text"
       className="form-control"
       id="mobile"
       name="mobile"
       placeholder="Enter a valid mobile number"
       onChange={changeHandler}
   />
   // ...
)

The above answer could create issues in some cases, the following should be the right approach.

const [allValues, setAllValues] = useState({
   mobile: '',
   username: '',
   email: '',
   password: '',
   confirmPassword: ''
});
const changeHandler = e => {
   setAllValues( prevValues => {
   return { ...prevValues,[e.target.name]: e.target.value}
}
}
