I'm new to react and trying to learn on my own. I started using react-select to create a dropdown on a form and now I'm trying to pass the value of the option selected. My state looks like this.
this.state = {
part_id: "",
failure: ""
};
Then in my render
const {
part_id,
failure
} = this.state;
My form looks has 2 fields
<FormGroup>
<Label for="failure">Failure</Label>
<Input
type="text"
name="failure"
placeholder="Failure"
value={failure}
onChange={this.changeHandler}
required
/>
</FormGroup>
<FormGroup>
<Label for="part_id">Part</Label>
<Select
name="part_id"
value={part_id}
onChange={this.changeHandler}
options={option}
/>
</FormGroup>
the changeHandler
looks like this
changeHandler = e => {
this.setState({ [e.target.name]: e.target.value });
};
The change handler works fine for the input but the Select throws error saying cannot read property name. I went through the API docs and came up with something like this for the Select onChange
onChange={part_id => this.setState({ part_id })}
which sets the part_id as a label, value pair. Is there a way to get just the value? and also how would I implement the same with multiselect
?
