@sooni-hooks/use-input

useInput

React-Hook to get user's input value.

Notice

useInput is custom React-Hook; So it works on only React environment.

Installation

1. $ npm install @sooni-hooks/use-input
2. Add import useInput from "@sooni-hooks/use-input" in your script.
3. Done!

How to use

useInput takes two arguments. One is init value, the other is verification function. init value is default value of input. verification function checks the input value and returns Boolean value. The example of verification function is:

const verify = (value) => {
  if (typeof(value) === "string"){
    return true
  } else {
    return false
  }
}

useInput returns a object containing input value and onChange function.

{
  value: value,
  onChange: onChange
}

They have same name as JSX attributes. So you can use this object inside of JSX tag with spread operator.

Example

function App() {
  const verify = (value) => {
    if (typeof value === "string") {
      return true;
    } else {
      return false;
    }
  };
  const attributes = useInput("name", verify);
  return (
    <div className="App">
      <h1>{attributes.value}</h1>
      <input {...attributes}></input>
    </div>
  );
}

  const onChange = (event) => {
    const {
      target: { value },
    } = event;
    let willUpdate = true;
    if (typeof verification === "function") {
      willUpdate = verification(value);
    }
    if (willUpdate) {
      setValue(value);
