How do I update states `onChange` in an array of object in React Hooks

by

Here is how you do it:

// sample data structure
/* const data = [
  {
    id:   1,
    name: 'john',
    gender: 'm'
  }
  {
    id:   2,
    name: 'mary',
    gender: 'f'
  }
] */ // make sure to set the default value in the useState call (I already fixed it)

const [data, setData] = useState([
  {
    id:   1,
    name: 'john',
    gender: 'm'
  }
  {
    id:   2,
    name: 'mary',
    gender: 'f'
  }
]);

const updateFieldChanged = index => e => {
  console.log('index: ' + index);
  console.log('property name: '+ e.target.name);
  let newArr = [...data]; // copying the old datas array
  newArr[index] = e.target.value; // replace e.target.value with whatever you want to change it to

  setData(newArr);
}

return (
  <React.Fragment>
    {data.map((datum, index) => {
      <li key={datum.name}>
        <input type="text" name="name" value={datum.name} onChange={updateFieldChanged(index)}  />
      </li>
    })}
  </React.Fragment>
)
