Hello, welcome to therichpost.com. In this post, I will tell you, How to get input field value on button click in reactjs? Reactjs is a Javascript Library to build user interface.

In this post, I made simple form and input field and input button. On button click, I am getting the input box value and this is tricky and in future post, I will do more this form.

Here is the working code and you need to add this into your index.js file:
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';

class Hello extends React.Component{
    constructor(props)
    {
      super(props);
      this.state = {value: ''};
      this.addValue = this.addValue.bind(this);
      this.updateInput = this.updateInput.bind(this);
    }
    
    addValue(evt)
    {
      evt.preventDefault();
      if(this.state.value !=undefined)
      {
        alert('Your input value is: ' + this.state.value)
      }
    }
    updateInput(evt){
      this.state={value: evt.target.value};   
        }
    
    render()
    {
      return (
      <form onSubmit={this.addValue}>
      <input type="text" onChange={this.updateInput} /><br/><br/>
      <input type="submit" value="Click Me :)"/>
      </form>
      )
    }
  }

  ReactDOM.render(<Hello />, document.getElementById('root'));

ย I will do this post in parts and I can say this is the first part and In future posts, I will do more with reactjs. If you have any query related to this post then please comment below.

    You should not update the state directly. Instead use this:

    updateInput(evt){
    const value = evt.target.value;
    this.setState({ value });
    }

    instead of

    updateInput(evt){
    this.state={value: evt.target.value};
    }
