i had provided the code snippet
what i am doing is
i had fetched the values from the server and were shown in the fields and I'm making this page as editable form
what i want to do is now to take the values changed or changed by the user and to print them in console.
i had applied handleInputChange and its showing changed values while changing but i want to see those values in console on button click as well
how to do it?

Answer 1

First, the manner your are changing the state is not good. You are setting the new state to have only a single attribute which is the name and value of the field which is modified.
Coming to how to print the value of the field you are modifying, you should do a console log in the handle change method.
That said, your code should look like:
handleInputChange(event) {
//const {name, value} = event.target;
//const oldState = this.state;
//const newState = Object.assign({},oldState,{[name]:value});
//this.setState(newState);
this.setState({
[event.target.name]: event.target.value
});
//printing the input name and value as it is being modified.
console.log(name + ":" + value);
//if you want to see the value of the current state uncomment the line below
//console.log("State=" + JSON.stringify(newState));
}
printState = () => {
console.log("State="+JSON.stringify(this.state));
}
For more insight on how to modify objects with assign method see: MDN doc on Object.assign()
If you want to print the current state on clicking the save button then add the onClick attribute to the button as shown in the code below:
<button value="Save" onClick={this.printState}/>

Answer 2

Change InfoRow to
class InfoRow extends Component {
render() {
return (
<tr>
<td>
{this.props.beacon}
</td>
<td>
<input type="text"
className="form-control"
defaultValue={this.props.beaconValue}
value={this.props.name}
name={this.props.beaconValue}
onChange={(e) =>this.props.handleInputChangeProp(e.target.value)}
/>
</td>
</tr>
)
}
}
and render to
Object.keys(this.props.ebcn).map((keyName, keyIndex) =>{
return rows.push(<InfoRow beacon={keyName} beaconValue={a[keyName].toString()} name={this.state[keyName]} key={keyIndex} handleInputChangeProp={(inp) =>this.handleInputChange(keyName, inp)}/>);
});
and
handleInputChange(beacon, value) {
this.setState({
[beacon]: value
});
}
and handleClick to
handleClick = () =>{
Object.keys(this.props.ebcn).map((key)=> {
console.log(this.state[key]);
}))
}
