I have this code:
import React, { Component } from "react";
export default class Safe extends Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
userInput: "",
password: 1234
}
}
keyClicked = (evt) => {
// HERE!!
}
render() {
return (
<div className="safe">
<div className="display">{this.state.userInput}</div>
<div className="keypad">
{Array.from({length: 9}, (x, key) => <button className="key" key={key++} onClick={this.keyClicked}>{key++}</button>)}
</div>
</div>
)
}
}
I am attempting to make a "safe" with a number pad. In order to open the safe, the user must enter a specific code in order to "open it".
Currently, I am working on showing what the user has input through the number pad onto the display. However, I am unsure on how to get what number the user has inputted through the number pad. I have put a comment saying "HERE!!" to show where I want to access the inputted number.
I have attempted to use evt.target.value but when I try to console.log() the evt, it shows up as an empty string.
Any help is appreciated as I'm new to React!
Yea you can get this by this way
import React, { Component } from "react";
export default class Safe extends Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
userInput: "",
password: 1234
}
}
keyClicked = (evt) => {
console.log(evt)
}
render() {
return (
<div className="safe">
<div className="display">{this.state.userInput}</div>
<div className="keypad">
{Array.from({length: 9}, (x, key) => <button className="key" key={key++} onClick={()=>this.keyClicked(key++)}>{key++}</button>)}
</div>
</div>
)
}
}
I think that for this case is better to use map(). And declare the array beforehand. This way it's possible to pass the number clicked as an argument to the click handler.
Try the following:
export default class Safe extends Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
userInput: "",
password: 1234
};
}
numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9];
handleClick = (n) => {
console.log(n)
}
render() {
return (
<div className="safe">
<div className="display">{this.state.userInput}</div>
<div className="keypad">
{this.numbers.map((number, i) => {
return (
<button
className="key"
key={i}
onClick={() => this.handleClick(number)}
>
{number}
</button>
)
})}
</div>
</div>
)
}
}
