Time:04-28

I have started learning react but stuck here. i want to print the value in webpage but cant get what method should i put in onChange and please need a explanation also.

class IncrementDecrement extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = { a: 0 };
    this.change = this.onIncreased.bind(this);
    this.change = this.onDecreased.bind(this);
  }
  change(event) {
    this.setState({ a: event.target.value });
  }
  onIncreased() {
    this.state.a = this.state.a   1;
    console.log(this.state.a);
  }
  onDecreased() {
    this.state.a = this.state.a - 1;
    console.log(this.state.a);
  }
  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <input type="number" value={this.state.a} onChange={this.setState} />
        <button
          onClick={() => {
            this.onIncreased();
          }}
        >
          Increment
        </button>
        <button
          onClick={() => {
            this.onDecreased();
          }}
        >
          Decrement
        </button>
      </div>
    );
  }
}

ReactDOM.render(<IncrementDecrement />, document.getElementById("root"));

change this line

<input type="number" value={this.state.a} onChange={this.setState} />

to

<input type="number" value={this.state.a} onChange={this.change} />

this.change is a handler for the onChange event which take the value and updates the state.

Make the following changes:

  • Bind the methods correctly in the constructor.

  • Set onChange to this.change and not this.setState.

  • For updating a piece of state use this.setState and don't mutate the state.

  • And in the change method, coerce the value of the input to a Number for increment and decrement operations to work properly.

class IncrementDecrement extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = { a: 0 };
    this.change = this.change.bind(this);
    this.onIncreased = this.onIncreased.bind(this);
    this.onDecreased = this.onDecreased.bind(this);
  }
  change(event) {
    this.setState({ a: Number(event.target.value) });
  }
  onIncreased() {
    this.setState({ a: this.state.a   1 });
  }
  onDecreased() {
    this.setState({ a: this.state.a - 1 });
  }
  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <input type="number" value={this.state.a} onChange={this.change} />
        <button
          onClick={() => {
            this.onIncreased();
          }}
        >
          Increment
        </button>
        <button
          onClick={() => {
            this.onDecreased();
          }}
        >
          Decrement
        </button>
      </div>
    );
  }
}

ReactDOM.render(<IncrementDecrement />, document.getElementById("root"));

Try setting onChange={this.change}. You have this method defined but aren’t using it, instead passing setState as if it were an event handler, which it isn't.
