I have a really simple but styled TextInput, declared as an own component.
It looks like this:
import React from 'react';
import { Text, View, TextInput } from 'react-native';
import styled from 'styled-components'
const StyledInput = styled.TextInput`
margin-bottom: 16px;
width: 345px;
padding-left: 8px;
`;
class Input extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = { text: '' };
}
render() {
return(
<StyledInput
style={{height: 40, borderColor: 'gray', borderWidth: 1}}
// onChangeText={(text) => this.setState({text})}
value={this.state.text}
placeholder={this.props.placeholder}
secureTextEntry={this.props.isPassword}
/>
)
}
}
export default Input
My intention is to include that component in a scene and trigger the onChangeText event whenever the text input has changed. I've tried countless of ways... but with no success of passing the value.
<Input style={{height: 40, borderColor: 'gray', borderWidth: 1}}
onChangeText={(code) => this.setState({code})}
label='Aktiveringskods'
placeholder='Aktiveringskod:'
/>
Using a regular TextInput does work flawless however:
<TextInput style={{height: 40, borderColor: 'gray', borderWidth: 1}}
onChangeText={(username) => this.setState({username})}
label='Välj användarnamn'
placeholder='Användarnamn:'
/>
What am I missing here?
The reason is you hadn't pass onChangeText
to TextInput
in your custom Input
.
render() {
return(
<StyledInput
{...this.props}
style={{height: 40, borderColor: 'gray', borderWidth: 1}}
value={this.state.text}
placeholder={this.props.placeholder}
secureTextEntry={this.props.isPassword}
/>
)
}
