I like how Reactstrap handles Modal
so I want to keep using it, but I can't figure out how to get the data out of a form and capture it in state.
const handleSubmit = (evt) => {
evt.preventDefault();
alert(`Submitting Name ${name}`);
};
With Reactstrap
<Form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
<FormGroup>
<Label for="firstname">First Name</Label>{' '}
<Input name="speakername"></Input>
</FormGroup>
</Form>
When I use standard form and input elements, I'm able to capture what I need in handleSubmit, but I can't figure out how to do the same thing with the Form and Input tags of Reactstrap
Regular form and input elements
<form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
<label>
First Name:
<input
type="text"
value={name}
onChange={e => setName(e.target.value)}
/>
</label>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
Add a Button
component with type=submit
to your reactstrap
form the same way you had an <input>
with type=submit
so that React know's to fire the onSubmit
handler when the Button
is clicked.
import { Form, FormGroup, Input, Label, Button } from "reactstrap";
<Form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
<FormGroup>
<Label for="firstname">First Name</Label>{' '}
<Input name="speakername"></Input>
</FormGroup>
<Button type="submit">Submit</Button>
</Form>
