I have a large form with various form elements which is dynamically rendered from a get request. All other types of form (such as text and select) are working fine, however the checkbox is not.
After I check it once, it only stays on (even if I uncheck it), am I missing something or doing something wrong here?
Here is my current relevant code:
class Input extends Component{
render(){
var form;
if (this.props.componentClass=="choice") {
// select form
}
else if (this.props.componentClass=="bool")
form =(<Checkbox id={this.props.controlId} onChange={this.props.onChange}
defaultChecked={this.props.placeholder} >
</Checkbox>);
else
// text form
return (
<div>
<Form inline onSubmit={this.handleSubmit}>
<FormGroup controlId={this.props.controlId}>
<ControlLabel>{this.props.name}</ControlLabel>
{form}
<Panel>
{this.props.description}
</Panel>
<FormControl.Feedback />
</FormGroup>
</Form>
<br/>
</div>
);
}
}
// onChange code (comes from a parent component)
onChange(e){
const form = Object.assign({}, this.state.form);
form[e.target.id] = e.target.value;
this.setState({ form });
console.log('current state: ', this.state);
}
You must bind onChange function as said before, but you should use "checked" instead of "value".
Here is your example modified this way:
https://jsfiddle.net/8d3of0e7/3/
class Input extends React.Component{
constructor(props){
super(props)
this.state = {form:{}}
}
render(){
var form;
if (this.props.componentClass=="choice") {
// select form
}else if (this.props.componentClass=="bool"){
form = (
<ReactBootstrap.Checkbox
id={this.props.controlId}
onChange={this.props.onChange.bind(this)}
checked={this.state.form[this.props.controlId]}
defaultChecked={this.props.placeholder} >
</ReactBootstrap.Checkbox>);
}else{
// text form
}
return (
<div>
<ReactBootstrap.Form inline onSubmit={this.handleSubmit}>
<ReactBootstrap.FormGroup controlId={this.props.controlId}>
<ReactBootstrap.ControlLabel>
{this.props.name}
</ReactBootstrap.ControlLabel>
{form}
<ReactBootstrap.Panel>
{this.props.description}
</ReactBootstrap.Panel>
<ReactBootstrap.FormControl.Feedback />
</ReactBootstrap.FormGroup>
</ReactBootstrap.Form>
<br/>
</div>
);
}
componentDidUpdate(){
console.log('current state: ', this.state);
}
}
function onChange(e) {
const form = Object.assign({}, this.state.form);
form[e.target.id] = e.target.checked;
this.setState({ form });
}
ReactDOM.render(
<Input componentClass='bool' controlId='retired'
name='Is retired?' onChange={onChange}/>,
document.getElementById('root')
)
In this example our state will be: state:{form:{retired:true}}
