React doesn't render form autofill suggestions

I'm using react to create a panel to add a new product. I've created a separate auto-complete class which is supposed to render an input element and a list of suggested autofill items underneath. The input element shows but not the autofill suggestions. Have a look at the code
Autofill class
import React, { Component } from "react";
import firebase from "../Firebase";
export default class AutoCompleteDistID extends Component {
constructor() {
super();
this.state = {
sellerName: [],
sellerId: [],
suggestions: [],
};
}
componentDidMount() {
var sellerRef = firebase.database().ref().child("Sellers");
sellerRef.once("value", (snapshot) => {
snapshot.forEach((childSnap) => {
var distrName = childSnap.val().sellerName;
var distrId = childSnap.val().sellerName.sellerId;
// var distrName = [{ name: data.sellerName }];
this.setState((prevState) => {
return {
sellerName: [...prevState.sellerName, distrName],
sellerId: [...prevState.sellerId, distrId],
suggestions: [...prevState.suggestions, distrName],
};
});
});
});
}
onTextChange = (e) => {
var sellerNames = [this.state.sellerName];
const value = e.target.value;
let newSuggestions = [];
if (value.length > 0) {
const regex = new RegExp(`^${value}`, "i");
newSuggestions = sellerNames.sort().filter((v) => regex.test(v));
}
this.setState(() => ({ newSuggestions }));
};
renderSuggestions() {
const newSuggestions = this.state.suggestions;
if (newSuggestions.length === 0) {
return null;
}
return (
<ul>
{newSuggestions.map((item) => (
<li>{item}</li>
))}
</ul>
);
}
render() {
return (
<div>
<input onChange={this.onTextChange} />
{this.renderSuggestions}
</div>
);
}
}
Main form
import React, { Component } from "react";
import firebase from "../Firebase";
import AutoCompleteDistID from "./AutoCompleteDistID";
export default class Products extends Component {
constructor() {
super();
this.state = {
description: "",
prodQty: "",
};
this.pushProduct = this.pushProduct.bind(this);
}
handleFormChange = (event) => {
const target = event.target;
const colName = target.name;
this.setState({
[colName]: event.target.value,
});
};
pushProduct() {
const userRef = firebase.database().ref().child("Users"); //Get reference to Users DB
const prodData = this.state;
userRef.push(prodData);
}
render() {
return (
<div>
<br />
<form style={{ border: "solid", borderWidth: "1px", width: "600px" }}>
<br />
<input
type="text"
value={this.state.prodQty}
placeholder="Available Quantity"
onChange={this.handleFormChange}
name="prodQty"
/>
<input
type="text"
value={this.state.description}
placeholder="Description"
onChange={this.handleFormChange}
name="description"
/>
<AutoCompleteDistID />
<br />
<br />
</form>
<button onClick={this.pushProduct} type="button">
Add Product
</button>
<br />
</div>
);
}
}

State variable is suggestions but you are setting newSuggestions.
onTextChange = (e) => {
var sellerNames = [this.state.sellerName];
const value = e.target.value;
let newSuggestions = [];
if (value.length > 0) {
const regex = new RegExp(`^${value}`, "i");
newSuggestions = sellerNames.sort().filter((v) => regex.test(v));
}
// HERE IS THE MISTAKE
this.setState(() => ({ suggestions: newSuggestions }));
};
In AutoCompleteDistID render method
render() {
return (
<div>
<input onChange={this.onTextChange} />
{this.renderSuggestions()}
</div>
);
}

Boolean checkbox value in JSX doesn't work

IU'm using a github code example and that works perfectly with text inputs & numbers, but when I want to use checkbox inputs, the application doesn't understand the values and returns null or just on values...
Any idea why this doesn't work on fEdit function?
import React, { Component } from "react";
// import './App.css';
class App extends Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
title: "React Simple CRUD Application",
act: 0,
index: "",
datas: []
};
}
componentDidMount() {
this.refs.name.focus();
}
handleChange = e => {
console.log(e.target.value);
};
fSubmit = e => {
e.preventDefault();
console.log("try");
let datas = this.state.datas;
let name = this.refs.name.value;
let isenable = this.refs.isenable.value;
if (this.state.act === 0) {
//new
let data = {
name,
isenable
};
datas.push(data);
console.log(data.isenable);
} else {
//update
let index = this.state.index;
datas[index].name = name;
datas[index].isenable = isenable;
}
this.setState({
datas: datas,
act: 0
});
this.refs.myForm.reset();
this.refs.name.focus();
};
fRemove = i => {
let datas = this.state.datas;
datas.splice(i, 1);
this.setState({
datas: datas
});
this.refs.myForm.reset();
this.refs.name.focus();
};
fEdit = i => {
let data = this.state.datas[i];
this.refs.name.value = data.name;
this.refs.isenable.value = data.isenable;
this.setState({
act: 1,
index: i
});
this.refs.name.focus();
};
render() {
let datas = this.state.datas;
return (
<div className="App">
<h2>{this.state.title}</h2>
<form ref="myForm" className="myForm">
<input
type="text"
ref="name"
placeholder="your name"
className="formField"
/>
<input
type="checkbox"
ref="isenable"
placeholder="your isenable"
className="formField"
/>
<button onClick={e => this.fSubmit(e)} className="myButton">
submit
</button>
</form>
<pre>
{datas.map((data, i) => (
<li key={i} className="myList">
{data.name} - {(data.isenable || false).toString()}
<button onClick={() => this.fRemove(i)} className="myListButton">
remove
</button>
<button onClick={() => this.fEdit(i)} className="myListButton">
edit
</button>
</li>
))}
</pre>
</div>
);
}
}
export default App;

When working with checkboxes, refer to the checked property not the value. This is the true or false state of the checkbox.
In fSubmit:
let isenable = this.refs.isenable.checked;
In fEdit:
this.refs.isenable.checked = data.isenable;
In the render:
{data.name} - {data.isenable ? 'on' : 'off'}
Working demo
Complete code with fixes:
class App extends Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
title: "React Simple CRUD Application",
act: 0,
index: "",
datas: []
};
}
componentDidMount() {
this.refs.name.focus();
}
handleChange = e => {
console.log(e.target.value);
};
fSubmit = e => {
e.preventDefault();
console.log("try");
let datas = this.state.datas;
let name = this.refs.name.value;
let isenable = this.refs.isenable.checked;
if (this.state.act === 0) {
//new
let data = {
name,
isenable
};
datas.push(data);
console.log(data.isenable);
} else {
//update
let index = this.state.index;
datas[index].name = name;
datas[index].isenable = isenable;
}
this.setState({
datas: datas,
act: 0
});
this.refs.myForm.reset();
this.refs.name.focus();
};
fRemove = i => {
let datas = this.state.datas;
datas.splice(i, 1);
this.setState({
datas: datas
});
this.refs.myForm.reset();
this.refs.name.focus();
};
fEdit = i => {
let data = this.state.datas[i];
this.refs.name.value = data.name;
this.refs.isenable.checked = data.isenable;
this.setState({
act: 1,
index: i
});
this.refs.name.focus();
};
render() {
let datas = this.state.datas;
return (
<div className="App">
<h2>{this.state.title}</h2>
<form ref="myForm" className="myForm">
<input
type="text"
ref="name"
placeholder="your name"
className="formField"
/>
<input
type="checkbox"
ref="isenable"
placeholder="your isenable"
className="formField"
/>
<button onClick={e => this.fSubmit(e)} className="myButton">
submit
</button>
</form>
<pre>
{datas.map((data, i) => (
<li key={i} className="myList">
{data.name} - {data.isenable ? 'on' : 'off'}
<button onClick={() => this.fRemove(i)} className="myListButton">
remove
</button>
<button onClick={() => this.fEdit(i)} className="myListButton">
edit
</button>
</li>
))}
</pre>
</div>
);
}
}
Sidenote: I wouldn't use Refs in this case. Take a look at the docs, you can see when to use Refs and when not to. The Forms docs cover how to handle forms without Refs.

You should use the checked attribute of the isenable element to determine whether the checkbox is checked and put this value in your form. You can check the mdn docs: https://developer.mozilla.org/fr/docs/Web/HTML/Element/Input/checkbox

How could I edit a users from this API in local state?

I need to have an edit button to edit the users first name, last name from the api but only update the input in local state. I've done a lot of research but can't find exactly what I'm looking for. I'm trying not to bring in other libraries (other than lodash possibly?). I've found a lot of other examples but its bringing in other libraries. Any suggestions would help (even on the code I have currently to help clean it up a bit.)
import React, { Component } from "react";
import axios from "axios";
import User from './User'
class App extends Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
users: [],
searchTerm: '',
alphabetical: 'az'
};
this.handleChange = this.handleChange.bind(this);
}
componentDidMount() {
axios.get("https://randomuser.me/api/?results=20")
.then(response => {
console.log(response.data.results);
this.setState({ users: response.data.results });
})
.catch(error => {
console.log(error);
});
}
handleChange(event) {
const target = event.target;
const value = target.type === 'checkbox' ? target.checked : target.value;
const name = target.name;
this.setState({
[name]: value
});
}
render() {
let sortedUsers;
if (this.state.alphabetical === "az") {
console.log("sorted");
sortedUsers = this.state.users.sort((a, b) =>
a.name.first > b.name.first ? 1 : -1
);
}
let filteredUsers = sortedUsers;
if (this.state.searchTerm)
filteredUsers = this.state.users.filter(u =>
u.name.first.startsWith(this.state.searchTerm) || u.name.last.startsWith(this.state.searchTerm)
);
const userNames = filteredUsers.map(u => {
return <User
key={u.email}
name={u.name.first}
last={u.name.last}
image={u.picture.medium}
email={u.email}
city={u.location.city}
state={u.location.state}
cell={u.cell}
/>;
});
return (
<div>
<form onSubmit={this.handleSubmit}>
<label>
Search for user:
<input
type="text"
name="searchTerm"
value={this.state.searchTerm}
onChange={this.handleChange}
/>
</label>

Right now, I am facing difficulties with how to render the component after the put and delete request. In the code above, after I click the edit and delete button, it does not render on the page immediately. I have to refresh the page to get the new information. Can someone give me information how to do this kind of stuff.

handleRemove function for Todo List app with an array of objects

So I am making this app super simple, however I can't get my handleRemove to work properly. filteredTodos comes out to be a list of all the same todos. This is my code.
I have tried even looking at other solutions online but for some reason this filter function in handleRemove does not filter anything out of the state.
import React, { Component } from 'react';
class Main extends Component {
constructor(props){
super(props);
this.state = {
todos: [],
inputValue: '',
};
this.handleChange = this.handleChange.bind(this);
this.handleSubmit = this.handleSubmit.bind(this);
this.handleRemove = this.handleRemove.bind(this);
}
handleChange = (e) => {
e.preventDefault();
this.setState({
inputValue: e.target.value
});
}
handleSubmit = (e) => {
e.preventDefault();
const newTodo = this.state.inputValue;
if (this.state.inputValue === ''){
alert('Please Enter a Todo!');
} else {
this.setState((prevState) => ({
todos: [...prevState.todos,
{
message: newTodo,
id: this.state.todos.length
}
]
}));
this.setState({inputValue:''});
}
}
handleRemove (id) {
const filteredTodos = this.state.todos.filter(todo => todo.id !== id);
this.setState({
todos: filteredTodos
});
console.log(filteredTodos);
}
render(){
const mappedTodos = this.state.todos.map((item, i) =>
<div key={i} id={this.state.todos[i].id}>
{item.message} <button type='submit' onClick={this.handleRemove}>X</button>
</div>
)
return(
<div className='main-page'>
<div className='input'>
<input type='text' placeholder='Enter Your Todo' value={this.state.inputValue} onChange={this.handleChange} />
<button type='submit' onClick={this.handleSubmit}>Add</button>
</div>
<div className='todos'>
{mappedTodos}
</div>
</div>
)
}
}
export default Main;

Your handleRemove function requires an id you can see it by the value in the round brackets
handleRemove (id)
to fix the problem you just have to pass the parameter just like this:
const mappedTodos = this.state.todos.map((item, i) =>
<div key={i} id={this.state.todos[i].id}>
{item.message} <button type='submit' onClick={this.handleRemove(this.state.todos[i].id)}>X</button>
</div>
)
