Print TextField on button click - printing incorrectly - javascript

I'm attempting to incorporate a function in my react app, where a user will input a search term, and when the button is pressed it will go search it. (text input and buttons are using material-ui components) For now I just want it to print the term to the console log to check its okay. When running the below code, the output is: "[object Object]. Does anyone know why that is?
import React from 'react';
import TextField from '#material-ui/core/TextField';
import Button from '#material-ui/core/Button';
class searchText extends React.Component {
state = {
searchTerm: null,
}
handleClick = (searchTerm) => {
this.setState({ searchTerm });
}
render() {
const { searchTerm } = this.state;
return (
<div className ="Search">
<TextField
id = "outlined-search"
label="Enter Query"
type = "search"
className ="Search"
variant="filled"
value = {searchTerm}
/>
<Button
onClick={() =>{console.log("search: " +{searchTerm}); }}
varient ="contained"
classname="goButton" >
Enter Query Here!
<Button/>
</div>
);
}
}
export default Search
update: fixed typos

your have not any function to get the input value and set that value in state.
Try this.
// function for TextField Value Change
getvalue=(event)=>{
this.setState({
searchTerm:event.target.value
})
}
// function for button click
handleClick = () => {
console.log(this.state.searchTerm)
}
<TextField
id = "outlined-search"
label="Enter Query"
type = "search"
className ="Search"
variant="filled"
value = {this.state.searchTerm}
onChange={this.getvalue}
/>

The + searchTem coerces the object into a string, which in your case is [object Object]
Just change it to:
console.log("search: ", searchTerm)
You can read more about it here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/console#Outputting_text_to_the_console

Right now your'e not calling handleClick as you just console log it. That means that you're not changing/setting the state.searchTerm to anything. It's the handleClick that will update the state. So the value will always be null. Also you have a typo in your handleClick:
Your parameter says "serchTerm" ... it should say "searchTerm". You missed an a there ;)

Classes use PascalCase as they are components, not simple functions. The Buttons component were badly terminated and maybe you can just simply call your function handler when the user clicks on the button and then show the state on the console
class SearchText extends React.Component {
state = {
searchTerm: null,
}
handleClick = (term) => {
this.setState({ searchTerm: term });
console.log(this.state.searchTerm)
}
render() {
const { searchTerm } = this.state;
return (
<div className ="Search">
<TextField
id = "outlined-search"
label="Enter Query"
type = "search"
className ="Search"
variant="filled"
value = {searchTerm}
/>
<Button
onClick={this.handleClick}
varient ="contained"
classname="goButton" >
Enter Query Here!
</Button>
</div>
);
}
}
Hope helps :)

Implement Edit feature in a Note Application using react

I am trying to create a notes application wherein each note object contains a title and content. The user can add, deleted and update a note.
What I was able to achieve so far:
I am able to create a new note , push it into an array and also delete a note from the array . I am finding it a bit hard to edit an existing note.
This is how I want to implement the edit feature:
When the user clicks on the note, the data has to automatically fill into the input box, and the user can modify the data which is then saved into an object and pushed inside an array and then displayed onto the respective note.
When the user clicks on the Edit button, the note id is sent to the App component, the note is searched within the notes array and an object returned to the Create Area component. This object is then displayed on the input field. I'm using UseEffect() hook to display the object data on the input box, but I'm not able to edit the contents on the input box. Here's my code below:
App.jsx:
If the user clicked the edit button, it sets the IsDone state to true in the Edit function. The edit function gets an object from the Notes component
import Header from "./Header";
import CreateArea from "./CreateArea";
import Note from "./Note";
import Footer from "./Footer";
import { useState } from "react";
function App() {
const [noteArray, setArray] = useState([]);
const [isDone,setDone] = useState(false);
const [editNote,setEditNote] = useState({
title:"",
content:""});
function AddOnClick(note) {
setArray((prevNote) => {
return [...prevNote, note];
});
}
function DeleteOnClick(id) {
setArray((prevNote) => {
return prevNote.filter((note, index) => {
return index !== id;
});
});
}
function EditNote(obj)
{
setDone(true);
setEditNote(prevState=>{
return { ...prevState,...obj}});
}
return (
<div>
<Header />
<CreateArea AddOnClick={AddOnClick} noteEdit = {editNote} editFunction = {EditNote}btnClicked = {isDone}/>
{noteArray.map((note, index) => (
<Note
key={index}
id={index}
title={note.title}
content={note.content}
deleteNote={DeleteOnClick}
EditNote = {EditNote}
/>
))}
<Footer />
</div>
);
}
export default App;
Notes.jsx: The id of the note is also included in the object that's passed to App component through the EditNote() function
function Note(props) {
const obj = {title : props.title,
content: props.content,
id:props.id}
return (
<div className="note">
<h1>{props.title}</h1>
<p>{props.content}</p>
<button
onClick={() => {
props.deleteNote(props.id);
}}
>
DELETE
</button>
<button onClick={()=>{props.EditNote(obj)}}>EDIT</button>
</div>
);
}
export default Note;
CreateArea: If the buttonClicked value is true, I'm calling the handleEdit() that takes the object sent from the EditNote() in App.jsx to saves it to to note object using useState() which automatically updates the input and text area field using event.target.value with the help of useEffect().
import { useState } from "react";
function CreateArea(props) {
const [note, setNote] = useState({
title: "",
content: ""
});
function handleChange(event) {
console.log(event.target);
const { name, value } = event.target;
setNote((prevNote) => {
return { ...prevNote, [name]: value };
});
}
function addNote(event) {
setNote({ title: "", content: "" });
props.AddOnClick(note,note.id);
event.preventDefault();
}
function handleEdit()
{
setNote(prevValue=>{
return {...prevValue,...props.noteEdit}
})
}
useEffect (()=>{
if(props.btnClicked){handleEdit();
}
});
return (
<div>
<form>
<input name="title" id="title" value={note.title}onChange={handleChange}placeholder="Title"/>
<textarea name="content" id="content" value={note.content}onChange={handleChange} placeholder="Take a note..." rows="3"/>
<button onClick={addNote}>Add</button>
</form>
</div>
);
}
export default CreateArea;
The code runs well but now I can't add any more text on the input box,it just blocks me from doing it.I tried calling HandleChange() inside UseEffect(), that throws an error saying: Cannot read properties of target:undefined at HandleChange() I really need help how to implement edit.
I tried directly populating the input box and the text area field using document.getElementById.value = myValue even that does not seem to work

Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'target)

first post here. I tried searching around the forum but none of the answers seems to work in my case.
I'm pretty new to React, and have an issue with my onChange handler.
In my parent component I have the following:
// User registration - Onchange handler
const handleChange = (value, event) => {
// console.log(event.target.value);
setFormValue({
...formValue,
[event.target.name]: value,
});
};
And basically the parent component renders a multi step registration form, which renders the different components based on a state, here is the conditional for the username:
{step === 1 ? <Username handleChange={handleChange} formValue={formValue} /> : null}
In the child I have the following input component:
export const Username = ({formValue, handleChange}) => {
const username = formValue;
return (
<View>
<Input
placeholder="Username..."
onChangeText={handleChange}
value={formValue.username}
name={username} />
</View>
)
}
And the input component:
const Input = (props, name) => {
return (
<Animated.View style={[styles.inputSection, inputAnimated]}>
<TextInput style={styles.input} placeholder={props.placeholder} placeholderTextColor={theme.colors.lightP} fontSize={16} {...props}/>
</Animated.View>
)
}
I'm not sure why I get the error:
Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'target)
Would appreciate any help.
Console.log of event.target returns undefined.
Here in the documentation you can read for the onChange event
You are using onChangeText
So onChangeText has just text value, but if you want to have the native event you have to use onChange.
Then access it in you method
const handleChange = ({ nativeEvent: { eventCount, target, text} }) => {
// console.log(event.target.value);
setFormValue({
...formValue,
[target]: text,
});
};
EDITED
Since asked again how to access the name of text input.
Here this link shows how to handle text input
Also you can do it like this:
For example in your method you are giving a name from parameters, you can pass that name to the handler parameter :
export const Username = ({formValue, handleChange}) => {
const username = formValue;
return (
<View>
<Input
placeholder="Username..."
onChangeText={(value)=>handleChange(value,username)} {/* here username is the name you are passing to the value */}
value={formValue.username}
name={username} />
</View>
)
}
// then in your handle method
const handleChange = (value,name) => {
setFormValue({
...formValue,
name: value,
});
};
This happens because onChangeText passes the input's value automatically to the function that's assigned to it, not passing the event itself
If you want to use the event => use onChange instead of onChangeText

Controlled hooks input is not clearing after parent button press

I have a search bar in a header component like the picture below. Once you click the search icon the search bar will appear and you can start searching. The idea here, is that once you click the icon again the text inside the search bar should be reset to an empty state. Once the icon in the header component is pressed the cleanSearch useEffect will be triggered. inside both console.logs we find that the state of input is set to ''. However the problem I currently have is that once I show the search bar again the old value is still residing in it. It seems that only the clearing state is not working here.
I also tried to give <StyledSearch> a value={input.value} and tried different ways to set and clean the state. What is going wrong here?
edit: I recreated the problem in this sandbox
https://codesandbox.io/s/adoring-mahavira-o1hyu
controlled input in SearchBar component
/** Search bar in header */
const SearchBar = props => {
const { isActive, cleanSearch } = props;
const [input, setInput] = useState({});
useEffect(() => {
if (cleanSearch) {
setInput({});
props.cleanSearchCallback(false);
}
console.log('cleanSearch', input);
}, [cleanSearch]);
console.log('cleanSearch outer', input);
/** controlled search input */
const handleInputChange = e => {
setInput({
...input,
[e.currentTarget.name]: e.currentTarget.value,
});
props.appbarSearch(...input, e.currentTarget.value);
};
return (
<StyledSearch
type="search"
placeholder="Type between 3 ~ 50 characters to find anything"
isActive={isActive ? 'visible' : 'hidden'}
name="searchbar"
onChange={handleInputChange}
/>
);
};
Well the answer was to add a ref inside the Search bar as seen in the code below (this is the workable example in codesandbox).
import React, { useRef } from "react";
const Search = () => {
const ref = useRef();
const clearValue = () => {
if (ref.current) ref.current.value = "";
};
return (
<div>
<input ref={ref} name="search" />
<button style={{ width: "50px", height: "50px" }} onClick={clearValue} />
</div>
);
};
export default Search;

Redux Form: Input stays with 'touched: false'

Wanted to validate my inputs and change the CSS depending of the user interaction.
Starting with a required validation method I wrap all my inputs component with a <Field> and pass to validate an array of func. Just required for now.
But for all my fields the value stay the same touched: false and error: "Required". If I touch or add stuff in the input, those values stay the same.
Validation
export const required = value => (value ? undefined : 'Required')
NameInput
import React from 'react';
import { Field } from 'redux-form'
import InputItem from 'Components/InputsUtils/InputItem';
import { required } from 'Components/InputsUtils/Validation';
const NameInput = () => (
<Field
name={item.spec.inputName}
type={item.spec.type}
component={InputItem}
validate={[required]}
props={item}
/>
);
export default NameInput;
InputItem
import React from 'react';
const InputItem = ({ spec, meta: { touched, error } }) => {
const { type, placeholder } = spec;
return (
<input
className="input"
type={type}
placeholder={placeholder}
/>
);
};
export default InputItem;
There are 2 solutions to solve the "touched is always false" issue.
1) Ensure that input.onBlur is called in your component
For an input:
const { input } = this.props
<input {...input} />
For custom form elements without native onBlur:
const { input: { value, onChange, onBlur } } = this.props
const className = 'checkbox' + (value ? ' checked' : '')
<div
className={className}
onClick={() => {
onChange(!value)
onBlur()
}}
/>
2) Declare your form with touchOnChange
const ReduxFormContainer = reduxForm({
form: 'myForm',
touchOnChange: true,
})(MyForm)
The redux-form controls its own props within your <input /> element as long as you use the spread operator to pass those props into your input.
For example, where you are doing const InputItem = ({ spec, meta: { touched, error } }) => ...
Try destructing the input from the Component: const InputItem = ({ input, spec, meta: { touched, error } }) => ...
And where you have your <input ... />, try doing the following:
<input
{...input}
className="input"
type={type}
placeholder={placeholder}
/>
The redux-form captures any onBlur and onChange events and uses its own methods to change the touched state. You just need to pass those along as shown above.
These are what you need: https://redux-form.com/7.1.2/docs/api/field.md/#input-props
Another point to consider:
I passed {...props} to my custom component, however, touched still remained false.
That is because although props contained the input object, my component couldn't
deduce onBlur from it. When explicitly stating <CustomComponent {...this.props} onBlur={this.props.input.onBlur}, it worked as expected.

React.js - input losing focus when rerendering

I am just writing to text input and in onChange event I call setState, so React re-renders my UI. The problem is that the text input always loses focus, so I need to focus it again for each letter :D.
var EditorContainer = React.createClass({
componentDidMount: function () {
$(this.getDOMNode()).slimScroll({height: this.props.height, distance: '4px', size: '8px'});
},
componentDidUpdate: function () {
console.log("zde");
$(this.getDOMNode()).slimScroll({destroy: true}).slimScroll({height: 'auto', distance: '4px', size: '8px'});
},
changeSelectedComponentName: function (e) {
//this.props.editor.selectedComponent.name = $(e.target).val();
this.props.editor.forceUpdate();
},
render: function () {
var style = {
height: this.props.height + 'px'
};
return (
<div className="container" style={style}>
<div className="row">
<div className="col-xs-6">
{this.props.selected ? <h3>{this.props.selected.name}</h3> : ''}
{this.props.selected ? <input type="text" value={this.props.selected.name} onChange={this.changeSelectedComponentName} /> : ''}
</div>
<div className="col-xs-6">
<ComponentTree editor={this.props.editor} components={this.props.components}/>
</div>
</div>
</div>
);
}
});
Without seeing the rest of your code, this is a guess.
When you create a EditorContainer, specify a unique key for the component:
<EditorContainer key="editor1"/>
When a re-rendering occurs, if the same key is seen, this will tell React don't clobber and regenerate the view, instead reuse. Then the focused item should retain focus.
I keep coming back here again and again and always find the solution to my elsewhere at the end.
So, I'll document it here because I know I will forget this again!
The reason input was losing focus in my case was due to the fact that I was re-rendering the input on state change.
Buggy Code:
import React from 'react';
import styled from 'styled-components';
class SuperAwesomeComp extends React.Component {
state = {
email: ''
};
updateEmail = e => {
e.preventDefault();
this.setState({ email: e.target.value });
};
render() {
const Container = styled.div``;
const Input = styled.input``;
return (
<Container>
<Input
type="text"
placeholder="Gimme your email!"
onChange={this.updateEmail}
value={this.state.email}
/>
</Container>
)
}
}
So, the problem is that I always start coding everything at one place to quickly test and later break it all into separate modules.
But, here this strategy backfires because updating the state on input change triggers render function and the focus is lost.
Fix is simple, do the modularization from the beginning, in other words, "Move the Input component out of render function"
Fixed Code
import React from 'react';
import styled from 'styled-components';
const Container = styled.div``;
const Input = styled.input``;
class SuperAwesomeComp extends React.Component {
state = {
email: ''
};
updateEmail = e => {
e.preventDefault();
this.setState({ email: e.target.value });
};
render() {
return (
<Container>
<Input
type="text"
placeholder="Gimme your email!"
onChange={this.updateEmail}
value={this.state.email}
/>
</Container>
)
}
}
Ref. to the solution: https://github.com/styled-components/styled-components/issues/540#issuecomment-283664947
If it's a problem within a react router <Route/> use the render prop instead of component.
<Route path="/user" render={() => <UserPage/>} />
The loss of focus happens because the component prop uses React.createElement each time instead of just re-rendering the changes.
Details here: https://reacttraining.com/react-router/web/api/Route/component
I had the same symptoms with hooks. Yet my problem was defining a component inside the parent.
Wrong:
const Parent =() => {
const Child = () => <p>Child!</p>
return <Child />
}
Right:
const Child = () => <p>Child!</p>
const Parent = () => <Child />
My answer is similar to what #z5h said.
In my case, I used Math.random() to generate a unique key for the component.
I thought the key is only used for triggering a rerender for that particular component rather than re-rendering all the components in that array (I return an array of components in my code). I didn't know it is used for restoring the state after rerendering.
Removing that did the job for me.
Applying the autoFocus attribute to the input element can perform as a workaround in situations where there's only one input that needs to be focused. In that case a key attribute would be unnecessary because it's just one element and furthermore you wouldn't have to worry about breaking the input element into its own component to avoid losing focus on re-render of main component.
What I did was just change the value prop to defaultValue and second change was onChange event to onBlur.
I got the same behavior.
The problem in my code was that i created a nested Array of jsx elements like this:
const example = [
[
<input value={'Test 1'}/>,
<div>Test 2</div>,
<div>Test 3</div>,
]
]
...
render = () => {
return <div>{ example }</div>
}
Every element in this nested Array re-renders each time I updated the parent element. And so the inputs lose there "ref" prop every time
I fixed the Problem with transform the inner array to a react component
(a function with a render function)
const example = [
<myComponentArray />
]
...
render = () => {
return <div>{ example }</div>
}
EDIT:
The same issue appears when i build a nested React.Fragment
const SomeComponent = (props) => (
<React.Fragment>
<label ... />
<input ... />
</React.Fragment>
);
const ParentComponent = (props) => (
<React.Fragment>
<SomeComponent ... />
<div />
</React.Fragment>
);
I solved the same issue deleting the key attribute in the input and his parent elements
// Before
<input
className='invoice_table-input invoice_table-input-sm'
type='number'
key={ Math.random }
defaultValue={pageIndex + 1}
onChange={e => {
const page = e.target.value ? Number(e.target.value) - 1 : 0
gotoPage(page)
}}
/>
// After
<input
className='invoice_table-input invoice_table-input-sm'
type='number'
defaultValue={pageIndex + 1}
onChange={e => {
const page = e.target.value ? Number(e.target.value) - 1 : 0
gotoPage(page)
}}
/>
The answers supplied didn't help me, here was what I did but I had a unique situation.
To clean up the code I tend to use this format until I'm ready to pull the component into another file.
render(){
const MyInput = () => {
return <input onChange={(e)=>this.setState({text: e.target.value}) />
}
return(
<div>
<MyInput />
</div>
)
But this caused it to lose focus, when I put the code directly in the div it worked.
return(
<div>
<input onChange={(e)=>this.setState({text: e.target.value}) />
</div>
)
I don't know why this is, this is the only issue I've had with writing it this way and I do it in most files I have, but if anyone does a similar thing this is why it loses focus.
If the input field is inside another element (i.e., a container element like <div key={"bart"}...><input key={"lisa"}...> ... </input></div>-- the ellipses here indicating omitted code), there must be a unique and constant key on the container element (as well as on the input field). Elsewise, React renders up a brand new container element when child's state is updated rather than merely re-rendering the old container. Logically, only the child element should be updated, but...
I had this problem while trying to write a component that took a bunch of address information. The working code looks like this
// import react, components
import React, { Component } from 'react'
// import various functions
import uuid from "uuid";
// import styles
import "../styles/signUp.css";
export default class Address extends Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
address1: "",
address2: "",
address1Key: uuid.v4(),
address2Key: uuid.v4(),
address1HolderKey: uuid.v4(),
address2HolderKey: uuid.v4(),
// omitting state information for additional address fields for brevity
};
this.handleChange = this.handleChange.bind(this);
}
handleChange(event) {
event.preventDefault();
this.setState({ [`${event.target.id}`]: event.target.value })
}
render() {
return (
<fieldset>
<div className="labelAndField" key={this.state.address1HolderKey} >
<label className="labelStyle" for="address1">{"Address"}</label>
<input className="inputStyle"
id="address1"
name="address1"
type="text"
label="address1"
placeholder=""
value={this.state.address1}
onChange={this.handleChange}
key={this.state.address1Key} ></input >
</div>
<div className="labelAndField" key={this.state.address2HolderKey} >
<label className="labelStyle" for="address2">{"Address (Cont.)"}</label>
<input className="inputStyle"
id="address2"
name="address2"
type="text"
label="address2"
placeholder=""
key={this.state.address2Key} ></input >
</div>
{/* omitting rest of address fields for brevity */}
</fieldset>
)
}
}
Sharp-eyed readers will note that <fieldset> is a containing element, yet it doesn't require a key. The same holds for <> and <React.Fragment> or even <div> Why? Maybe only the immediate container needs a key. I dunno. As math textbooks say, the explanation is left to the reader as an exercise.
I had this issue and the problem turned out to be that I was using a functional component and linking up with a parent component's state. If I switched to using a class component, the problem went away. Hopefully there is a way around this when using functional components as it's a lot more convenient for simple item renderers et al.
I just ran into this issue and came here for help. Check your CSS! The input field cannot have user-select: none; or it won't work on an iPad.
The core reason is: When React re-render, your previous DOM ref will be invalid. It mean react has change the DOM tree, and you this.refs.input.focus won't work, because the input here doesn't exist anymore.
For me, this was being caused by the search input box being rendered in the same component (called UserList) as the list of search results. So whenever the search results changed, the whole UserList component rerendered, including the input box.
My solution was to create a whole new component called UserListSearch which is separate from UserList. I did not need to set keys on the input fields in UserListSearch for this to work. The render function of my UsersContainer now looks like this:
class UserContainer extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
<div>
<Route
exact
path={this.props.match.url}
render={() => (
<div>
<UserListSearch
handleSearchChange={this.handleSearchChange}
searchTerm={this.state.searchTerm}
/>
<UserList
isLoading={this.state.isLoading}
users={this.props.users}
user={this.state.user}
handleNewUserClick={this.handleNewUserClick}
/>
</div>
)}
/>
</div>
)
}
}
Hopefully this helps someone too.
I switched value prop to defaultValue. That works for me.
...
// before
<input value={myVar} />
// after
<input defaultValue={myVar} />
My problem was that I named my key dynamically with a value of the item, in my case "name" so the key was key={${item.name}-${index}}. So when I wanted to change the input with item.name as the value, they key would also change and therefore react would not recognize that element
included the next code in tag input:
ref={(input) => {
if (input) {
input.focus();
}
}}
Before:
<input
defaultValue={email}
className="form-control"
type="email"
id="email"
name="email"
placeholder={"mail#mail.com"}
maxLength="15"
onChange={(e) => validEmail(e.target.value)}
/>
After:
<input
ref={(input) => {
if (input) {
input.focus();
}
}}
defaultValue={email}
className="form-control"
type="email"
id="email"
name="email"
placeholder={"mail#mail.com"}
maxLength="15"
onChange={(e) => validEmail(e.target.value)}
/>
I had a similar issue, this is fixed it.
const component = () => {
return <input onChange={({target})=>{
setValue(target.vlaue)
}
} />
}
const ThisComponentKeptRefreshingContainer = () => {
return(
<component />
)
}
const ThisContainerDidNot= () => {
return(
<> {component()} </>
)
}
As the code illustrate calling the component child like an element gave that re-rendering effect, however, calling it like a function did not.
hope it helps someone
I had the same problem with an html table in which I have input text lines in a column. inside a loop I read a json object and I create rows in particular I have a column with inputtext.

Simple solution in my case:
<input ref={ref => ref && ref.focus()}
onFocus={(e)=>e.currentTarget.setSelectionRange(e.currentTarget.value.length, e.currentTarget.value.length)}
/>
ref triggers focus, and that triggers onFocus to calculate the end and set the cursor accordingly.
The issue in my case was that the key prop values I was setting on the InputContainer component and the input fields themselves were generated using Math.random(). The non-constant nature of the values made it hard for track to be kept of the input field being edited.
For me I had a text area inside a portal. This text area was loosing focus. My buggy portal implementation was like this:
export const Modal = ({children, onClose}: modelProps) => {
const modalDOM = document.getElementById("modal");
const divRef = useRef(document.createElement('div'));
useEffect(()=>{
const ref = divRef.current;
modalDOM?.appendChild(ref);
return ()=>{
modalDOM?.removeChild(ref);
}
});
const close = (e: React.MouseEvent) => {
e.stopPropagation();
onClose();
};
const handleClick = (e: React.MouseEvent) => {
e.stopPropagation()
}
return (
createPortal(
<div className="modal" onClick={close}>
<div className="modal__close-modal" onClick={close}>x</div>
{children}
</div>,
divRef.current)
)
}
const Parent = ({content: string}: ParentProps) => {
const [content, setContent] = useState<string>(content);
const onChangeFile = (e: React.MouseEvent) => {
setContent(e.currentTarget.value);
}
return (
<Modal>
<textarea
value={content}
onChange={onChangeFile}>
</textarea>
</Modal>
)
}
Turned out following implementation worked correctly, here I am directly attaching modal component to the DOM element.
export const Modal = ({children, onClose}: modelProps) => {
const modalDOM = document.getElementById("modal");
const close = (e: React.MouseEvent) => {
e.stopPropagation();
onClose();
};
return (
createPortal(
<div className="modal" onClick={close}>
<div className="modal__close-modal" onClick={close}>x</div>
{children}
</div>,
modalDOM || document.body)
)
}
Turns out I was binding this to the component which was causing it to rerender.
I figured I'd post it here in case anyone else had this issue.
I had to change
<Field
label="Post Content"
name="text"
component={this.renderField.bind(this)}
/>
To
<Field
label="Post Content"
name="text"
component={this.renderField}
/>
Simple fix since in my case, I didn't actually need this in renderField, but hopefully me posting this will help someone else.
Changing text in the input of some control can cause parent control rerendering in some cases (according to binding to props).
In this case focus will be lost. Editing should not has effect to parent container in DOM.
