I wrote a Checkbox
component, with React
, that is reused to generate a list of checkboxes. I know that a react element is different from a DOM
in terms of state. But how do I check if at least 1 checkbox has been selected by the user on form submit?
I have searched in SO and Google but all examples are either in jQuery or vanilla JS. For my case I want a React
example.
component
const Checkbox = ({ title, options, id, name, onChange }) => {
return (
<div className="checkbox-group">
<h4>{title}</h4>
{options.map(option => (
<label htmlFor={`${name}-${index}`} key={`${name}-${index}`}>
<input
type="checkbox"
name={name}
value={option}
onChange={onChange}
id={`${name}-${index}`}
/>
<span> {option}</span>
</label>
))}
</div>
);
};
class Form extends Component {
...
handleChange(event) {
let newSelection = event.target.value;
let newSelectionArray;
newSelectionArray = [
...this.state.sureveyResponses.newAnswers,
newSelection,
];
this.setState(prevState => {
return {
surveyResponse: {
...this.state.surveyResponse,
newAnswers: newSelectionArray,
}
)
}
handleSubmit() {
// I'm guessing this doesn't work in React as it's using its own state!
let checkboxes = document.querySelectorAll('[name="quiz-0"]:checked');
for (let chk in checkboxes) {
if (chk.checked) {
return true;
}
}
alert('Please choose at least one answer.');
return false;
}
render() {
return (
<form onSubmit={this.handleSubmit}>
<h4>Choose</>
{this.state.surveyQuiz.map((quiz, index) => {
return (
<div key={index}>
<Checkbox
title={quiz.question}
options={quiz.answers}
name={`quiz-${index + 1}`}
onChange={this.handleChange}
/>
</div>
);
})};
<button>Save answer(s)</span>
</form>
);
}
}
When the user submits the form, it should check if at least a checkbox is checked, if not none is checked then prevent the form to submit, i.e. return false!
