ReactJS Input Component

The Input component for ReactJS represents an Input widget with auto-complete capabilities.

Prerequisites

Refer to ReactJS Getting Started before you start with this help topic.

Configuration

The Input component for ReactJS requires the following imports.

 
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
 
import JqxInput from 'jqwidgets-react/react_jqxinput.js';
 

Then we create our component class. Properties and methods are put as ReactJS props.

  
class App extends React.Component {
  render () {
    return (
        <JqxInput width={150} height={50} />
    )
  }
}
 

Finally we render our class in the desired HTML element:

 
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('app'));
 

Events Methods & Properties

In order to bind to any event, change any property or call any method, we need a reference to the component.
For that we use the ReactJS "ref" Callback Attribute:

 
<JqxInput ref='myInput' width={150} height={50}..... />
 

Now, when we have a reference, we need to call the desired event/property/method.
This is done in the componentDidMount() ReactJS Component Lifecycle method.

 
class App extends React.Component {
  componentDidMount()
  {
     //your logic
  }
  render ()
  {
    return
    (
      ....
    )
  }
};
 

Events

The close event is triggered when the auto-suggest popup is closed.

The following example demonstrates how to add an event listener:

 
componentDidMount ()
{
 
  this.refs.myInput.on('close', (event) =>
  {
     //your logic
  });
 
}
 

Methods & Properties

This is how you call methods & props:

 
//Get Methods
let date  = this.refs.myInput.val();
 
//Set Methods
this.refs.myInput.val('New Value');
 
//Get Properties
let height  = this.refs.myInput.height();
 
//Set Properties
this.refs.myInput.height(25);
 

Every component have a method setOptions which accepts a object as an argument. This object contains component settings.

 
this.refs.myInput.setOptions({
    theme: '"energyblue"', width: 250, height: 30
})
 

Every component also have a method getOptions which returns a object containing the component settings.

 
let options = this.refs.myInput.getOptions();
 

Input Examples

Overview

The following example demonstrates how to create a Input component.

  render () {
    return (
        <JqxInput width={150} height={50} placeHolder={'Enter A Country'}/>
    )
  }
}
 
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('app'));
