Reactjs setState() with a dynamic key name?

by

Thanks to @Cory’s hint, i used this:

inputChangeHandler : function (event) {
    var stateObject = function() {
      returnObj = {};
      returnObj[this.target.id] = this.target.value;
         return returnObj;
    }.bind(event)();

    this.setState( stateObject );    
},

If using ES6 or the Babel transpiler to transform your JSX code, you can accomplish this with computed property names, too:

inputChangeHandler : function (event) {
    this.setState({ [event.target.id]: event.target.value });
    // alternatively using template strings for strings
    // this.setState({ [`key${event.target.id}`]: event.target.value });
}
