I suggest sticking to standard HTML attributes like name
on input
Elements to identify your inputs. Also, you don’t need to keep “total” as a separate value in state because it is composable by adding other values in your state:
var Hello = React.createClass({
getInitialState: function() {
return {input1: 0, input2: 0};
},
render: function() {
const total = this.state.input1 + this.state.input2;
return (
<div>{total}<br/>
<input type="text" value={this.state.input1} name="input1" onChange={this.handleChange} />
<input type="text" value={this.state.input2} name="input2" onChange={this.handleChange} />
</div>
);
},
handleChange: function(e) {
this.setState({[e.target.name]: e.target.value});
}
});
React.renderComponent(<Hello />, document.getElementById('content'));
