In React Js, I can use a state variable to change the input type of an input element. I just use a state variable to hold the input type like <input type={inputType} />. When I assign a valid input type to the inputType state variable, the input element will change to that type.
Here is an example of assigning different input types to an input element.
import { useState } from "react"
export const ChangeInputType = () =>{
const [inputType, setInputType] = useState<string>("")
const [inputTypeIndex, setInputTypeIndex] = useState<number>(0)
const inputTypes = ["text", "radio", "checkbox", "hidden", "password"]
const changeInputType = (inputIndex: number) => {
setInputType(inputTypes[inputIndex])
setNextInputIndex()
}
const setNextInputIndex = () => {
setInputTypeIndex((prev) => {
if(prev === inputTypes.length-1){
return 0
}
return prev+1
})
}
return(
<>
<div>{inputType}</div>
<div><input type={inputType} /></div>
<div><button onClick={() => changeInputType(inputTypeIndex)}>Update</button></div>
</>
)
}
The function setNextInputIndex() is to update the index to show the next input type.
How to toggle between select and multiple select?
I can use the multiple property of the select element to toggle between select and multiple select elements.
import { useState } from "react"
export const ChangeInputType = () =>{
const [isMultiple, setIsMultiple] = useState<boolean>(false)
const changeInputType = () => {
setIsMultiple(prev => !prev)
}
return(
<>
<div>Is multiple Select : {isMultiple}</div>
<div>
<select multiple={isMultiple}>
<option>Select</option>
<option>Option 1</option>
<option>Option 2</option>
<option>Option 3</option>
</select>
</div>
<div><button onClick={changeInputType}>Update</button></div>
</>
)
}
