Binding and saving react button value - reactjs

Question

I am trying to save the value of the button as a string.If i click residence button it will save the value in categoryName as 'residence' or 'commercial' and redirect to another page .I have built a Rest API in the backend to bind and save the value in database.The code is something like this
import React from 'react';
import PropTypes from 'prop-types';
import classNames from 'classnames';
class CustomizedButtons extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
apiUrl:config.publicRuntimeConfig.publicRuntimeConfigValue.apiUrl,
category: " ",
};
}
saveValue = () => {
console.log('savecategory');
axios.post( this.state.apiUrl+'/api/v1/leadsurvey/category', {
'categoryName':this.state.category,
}, {})
};
render() {
const { classes} = this.props;
return (
<div>
<div>
<p>What is the type of your property?</p>
<div>
<button onClick={() => this.saveValue()}>Residence</button>
<button onClick={() => this.saveValue()}>Commercial</button>
</div>
<div style={{marginTop: '90px'}}>
</div>
</div>
</div>
);
}
}
export default CustomizedButtons;
I am not getting how to make it work to bind and save.In case of saving form value i did something like this.
this.state = {
apiUrl:config.publicRuntimeConfig.publicRuntimeConfigValue.apiUrl,
FreeQuoteName :"",
};
this.handleFreeQuoteName = this.handleFreeQuoteName.bind(this);
saveFreeQuote = () => {
console.log('saveFreeQuote ...', this.state);
axios.post( this.state.apiUrl+'/api/v1/SalesLead/save', {
'name': this.state.FreeQuoteName,
}
}
handleFreeQuoteName(event) { this.setState({ FreeQuoteName: event.target.value }); }
<Form>
<p>Name*</p>
<input maxLength="30" onChange={this.handleFreeQuoteName} value={this.state.FreeQuoteName}
type="text" placeholder="Enter name here"/>
<div style={{textAlign:'center', marginTop:'35px', marginBottom:'22px'}} className={card.disable}>
<button disabled={isDisabled} type="button" fullwidth="true" variant="contained"
onClick={() => this.saveFreeQuote()} style={{padding: '9px 0px'}}>Submit</button>
</Form>
I want to do same for the value button.If i click the button it will save the value as a string and redirect to another page.How can i do it?

from your post I assumed that you want to save button value in state and also want to initiate the axios request while button click.
try to change like below
import React from 'react';
import PropTypes from 'prop-types';
import classNames from 'classnames';
import axios from 'axios';
class CustomizedButtons extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
apiUrl:config.publicRuntimeConfig.publicRuntimeConfigValue.apiUrl,
category: "",
};
}
saveValue = (e) => {
console.log('savecategory', e.target.innerHTML);
this.setState({
category: e.target.innerHTML
}, this.makeAxiosRequest);
};
makeAxiosRequest = () => {
axios.post( this.state.apiUrl+'/api/v1/leadsurvey/category', {
'categoryName':this.state.category,
}, {})
};
render() {
const { classes} = this.props;
return (
<div>
<div>
<p>What is the type of your property?</p>
<div>
<button onClick={this.saveValue}>Residence</button>
<button onClick={this.saveValue}>Commercial</button>
</div>
<div style={{marginTop: '90px'}}>
</div>
</div>
</div>
);
}
}
export default CustomizedButtons;
here am using callback function inside setState() to initiate axios request after button value saved in state.
Hope this helps.
