Controlled Inputs (Forms)
Build forms in React using controlled inputs with state.
Controlled inputs keep form data in sync with component state.
Creating a Form
const Create = () => {
const [title, setTitle] = useState("");
const [body, setBody] = useState("");
const [author, setAuthor] = useState("Mario");
return (
<form>
<label>Blog Title:</label>
<input
type="text"
value={title}
onChange={(e) => setTitle(e.target.value)}
/>
<label>Body:</label>
<textarea
value={body}
onChange={(e) => setBody(e.target.value)}
/>
<label>Author:</label>
<select value={author} onChange={(e) => setAuthor(e.target.value)}>
<option value="Mario">Mario</option>
<option value="Yoshi">Yoshi</option>
</select>
<button>Add Blog</button>
</form>
);
};
