ViewsHow to get string inside react-bootstrap's textarea and send to function on button-click?
I have the following react-bootstrap code;
<Form>
<Form.Group className="mb-3" controlId="exampleForm.ControlTextarea1">
<Form.Label>Example textarea</Form.Label>
<Form.Control as="textarea" rows={3} />
</Form.Group>
</Form>
<Button
variant="outline-primary"
size="lg"
active
onClick={() => wave(TextAreaString)}
>
Wave at Me
</Button>
The webpage looks like this;
When the button is clicked, I would like the function wave(textarea_string) to run. textarea_string is the string inside the textarea.
I am using React-bootstrap v2.4 and React v18

- Define a state to hold the string value with the useState hook
- Define onChange handler to save the changed string value with the set-function of useState hook
- Read the value from state in your wave function
.
export default function App() {
const wave = (text) => console.log(text);
const [value, setValue] = useState("");
const onChange = (event) => setValue(event.target.value);
return (
<div className="m-3">
<Form>
<Form.Group className="mb-3" controlId="exampleForm.ControlTextarea1">
<Form.Label>Example textarea</Form.Label>
<Form.Control
as="textarea"
rows={3}
value={value}
onChange={onChange}
/>
</Form.Group>
</Form>
<Button
variant="outline-primary"
size="lg"
active
onClick={() => wave(value)}
>
Wave at Me
</Button>
</div>
);
}
