React Forms Submit

Submitting a React form means preventing the page reload and handling the values in state. It is the pattern behind every login, search and checkout.


Submitting Forms

You can control the submit action by adding an event handler in the onSubmit attribute for the <form>:

Example:

import { useState } from 'react';
import { createRoot } from 'react-dom/client';

function MyForm() {
  const [name, setName] = useState("");

  function handleChange(e) {
    setName(e.target.value);
  }

  function handleSubmit(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    alert(name);
  }

  return (
    <form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
      <label>Enter your name:
        <input
          type="text"
          value={name}
          onChange={handleChange}
        />
      </label>
      <input type="submit" />
    </form>
  )
}

createRoot(document.getElementById('root')).render(
  <MyForm />
);
