What to modify to pass selectedvalue to the whole form using Chakra and React?
When working with Chakra and React, you may come across a scenario where you need to pass the selected value from a form input to the entire form. This can be achieved by making a few modifications to your code. In this blog post, we will explore two different solutions to accomplish this task.
Solution 1: Using React Context
One way to pass the selected value to the whole form is by using React Context. React Context provides a way to share data between components without having to pass props manually at every level. Here’s how you can implement this solution:
import React, { createContext, useContext, useState } from 'react';
// Create a new context
const FormContext = createContext();
// Create a FormProvider component to wrap your form
const FormProvider = ({ children }) => {
const [selectedValue, setSelectedValue] = useState('');
return (
{children}
);
};
// Use the FormProvider in your app
const App = () => {
return (
);
};
// Create your form component
const Form = () => {
const { selectedValue, setSelectedValue } = useContext(FormContext);
const handleInputChange = (event) => {
setSelectedValue(event.target.value);
};
return (
);
};
In this solution, we create a new context called FormContext
using the createContext
function from React. We then create a FormProvider
component that wraps the form and provides the selected value and a function to update it to its children using the FormContext.Provider
. Inside the Form
component, we use the useContext
hook to access the selected value and the setSelectedValue
function from the context. Whenever the input value changes, we update the selected value using the setSelectedValue
function.
Solution 2: Using React State
Another way to pass the selected value to the whole form is by using React state. React state allows you to manage the state of a component and update it when needed. Here’s how you can implement this solution:
import React, { useState } from 'react';
// Create your form component
const Form = () => {
const [selectedValue, setSelectedValue] = useState('');
const handleInputChange = (event) => {
setSelectedValue(event.target.value);
};
return (
);
};
In this solution, we use the useState
hook from React to create a selectedValue
state variable and a setSelectedValue
function to update it. Whenever the input value changes, we update the selected value using the setSelectedValue
function. This approach is simpler than using React Context but may not be suitable for more complex scenarios where you need to share state across multiple components.
With these two solutions, you can now pass the selected value to the whole form using Chakra and React. Choose the solution that best fits your needs and implement it in your project.
