reactjs - React Input Type not editable

Question

I was adding dynamic values to the input file in react then I tried to edit that but it not at all editable.

var shop_profile_data = this.state.data.DETAILS;

<input id="shopname" className="inputMaterial"  value={shop_profile_data.NAME} type="text" required/>

Please give me the solution. Thanks

Answer 1

Since value is always rendered with the same value (shop_profile_data.NAME) nothing is able to change. By setting value property you are making input a Controlled Component.

You need to add an onChange event and then set the shop_profile_data.NAME to a different value. Then the value of the input will change.

If you only want to set the initial value of the input, use defaultValue property (docs). defaultValue will set the initial value, but then allow the value to be changed.
