Updating React Json Value Conditionally

Question

I didn't figure out how to edit JSON data from a Put request.(it must be PUT request)

I created some inputs as you see and I need to find a way for updating/adding new credit-debit datas on JSON data differs by "to" and "from".

Also, if a "to" value added, it must decreased from total balance and if a "from" value added, it must be added to total balance.

I created a select box and an input for this (didin't connect between json and component) My Updater component is as follows:

Component itself:

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import './Updater.scss';
import Axios from 'axios';


export default class Updater extends Component {
    constructor(){
        super();
        this.state = {
            amount: '',
            description: '',
            from: '',
            to: '',
            date: new Date()
        }
    }


    onSubmitEdit = () => {
        Axios.put('http://localhost:8080/api/balance/add', 
        {});
    }

    render() {

        return (
            <div className="updatercontainer">
                <div className="updaterinputs">
                 <input className="amount" name="amount"  
                    type="text" placeholder="Enter Amount"/>
                 <input className="description" name="description" 
                    type="text" placeholder="Enter Description"/>
                </div>
            <div className="selectbox">
            <select>
                <option value="From">From</option>
                <option value="To">To</option>
            </select>
                <input className="fromto" type="text"
                 name="fromto" placeholder="Enter From or To Name"/>
            </div>
            <div className="selectboxcontainer">

                <div className="button-container">
                 <a href="#" onClick={this.onSubmitEdit} 
                 className="button amount-submit">
                <span></span>Update</a>
                </div>

            </div>

        </div>
        )
    }
}

class Updater extends React.Component {

Answer 2

you just need an onChange event to update the state based on the input values name

handleChange = (e) => {
   this.setState({ [e.target.name]: e.target.value })
}

//On your inputs
<input 
    className="amount" 
    name="amount" 
    type="text" 
    placeholder="Enter Amount"
    value={this.state.amount}
    onChange={() => this.handleChange(e)}
/>
