So i've been trying to use event.target.name.value for an input field but when i submit the form, the values are null and i have to click twice to get the values. Here is my code:
const [name, setName] = useState('');
const handleSubmit = (event)=> {
setName = event.target.name.value;
console.log(name);
}What am i doing wrong?
You are setting the function which is wrong. you need to pass it as parameter to setName function.
const [name, setName] = useState('');
console.log(name);
const handleSubmit = (event)=> {
setName(event.target.value);
}brother event.target.name.value it will take the value from your targeted input like name is a
