I have an input text field . When a user inputs any text and clicks enter button I need to activate the blur event to remove the focus and also to validate the textinput .
<input type="text"
style={{marginTop:'20%', marginLeft:'40%'}}
value={value}
onFocus={onFocus}
onChange={e => setValue(e.target.value)}
onKeyPress={handleKeyPress}
/>
Use refs
and this.inputRef.current.blur()
.This is working solution.
class App extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.inputRef = React.createRef();
this.state = {
value: ""
};
}
keypressHandler = event => {
if (event.key === "Enter") {
this.setState({ value: this.inputRef.current.value });
this.inputRef.current.blur();
this.inputRef.current.value = "";
}
};
render() {
return (
<div>
<label>Enter Text</label>
<input
type="text"
ref={this.inputRef}
onKeyPress={event => this.keypressHandler(event)}
/>
<p>{this.state.value}</p>
</div>
);
}
}
ReactDOM.render(<App/>, document.getElementById('root'));
