Introduction

Welcome to our lesson on handling forms in React.js. Forms, which are the backbone of user interaction and data collection in web applications, are treated uniquely in React.js. Our goal is to learn how to create forms, manage their state, and handle their submissions. This lesson is fun and interactive. We'll start with form elements in React.js, move on to the interaction between forms and state, and finally wrap up with form submissions. Are you ready to roll?

Getting to Know Form Elements in React

Forms in React.js consist of several elements that allow users to input data. We have three main form elements: input, textarea, select, and label.

  • input: This versatile element allows users to provide data input. Its appearance and behavior vary based on the type attribute. For instance, type="text" creates a simple text field, type="radio" generates a radio button, and type="checkbox" yields a checkbox. Others include type="password" for password input fields and for submit buttons.
