Array not getting cleared to null or empty in setState on click in react.
When I click on the submit button, the array must be set to []. It is setting to [], but on change the previous array of items comes into the array.
let questions = [];
let qns = [];
class App extends Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
btnDisabled: true,
//questions: [],
};
}
changeRadioHandler = (event, j) => {
this.setState({ checked: true });
const qn = event.target.name;
const id = event.target.value;
let idVal = this.props.dat.mat.opts;
let text = this.props.dat.mat.opt;
let userAnswer = [];
for (let j = 0; j < text.length; j++) {
userAnswer.push(false);
}
const option = text.map((t, index) => ({
text: t.text,
userAnswer: userAnswer[index],
}));
const elIndex = option.findIndex((element) => element.text === id);
const options = { ...option };
options[elIndex] = {
...options[elIndex],
userAnswer: true,
};
const question = {
options,
id: event.target.value,
qn,
};
questions[j] = options;
qns = questions.filter((e) => {
return e != null;
});
console.log(qns, qns.length);
this.setState({ qns });
if (qns.length === idVal.length) {
this.setState({
btnDisabled: false,
});
}
};
submitHandler = () => {
console.log(this.state.qns, this.state.questions);
this.setState({ qns: [] }, () =>
console.log(this.state.qns, this.state.questions)
);
};
render() {
return (
<div class="matrix-bd">
{this.props.dat.mat && (
<div class="grid">
{this.props.dat.mat.opts.map((questions, j) => {
return (
<div class="rows" key={j}>
<div class="cell main">{questions.text}</div>
{this.props.dat.mat.opt.map((element, i) => {
return (
<div class="cell" key={i}>
<input
type="radio"
id={j + i}
name={questions.text}
value={element.text}
onChange={(event) =>
this.changeRadioHandler(event, j)
}
></input>
<label htmlFor={j + i}>{element.text}</label>
</div>
);
})}
</div>
);
})}
</div>
)}
<div>
<button
type="button"
class="btn btn-primary"
disabled={this.state.btnDisabled}
onClick={this.submitHandler}
>
SUBMIT
</button>
</div>
</div>
);
}
}
export default App;
On button click submit, the array must be set to [] and when on change, the value must be set to the emptied array with respect to its index.
changeRadioHandler = (event, j) => {
// the better way is use local variable
let questions = [];
let qns = [];
...
}
submitHandler = () => {
console.log(this.state.qns, this.state.questions);
this.setState({ qns: [] }, () =>
console.log(this.state.qns, this.state.questions)
)}
// clear the previous `qns`
// if u use local variable. you don't need those lines
// this.qns = []
// this.questions = []
}
Finally, found out the solution.
After adding componentDidMount and setting questions variable to null solved my issue.
componentDidMount = () => {
questions = [];
};
Thanks all for your efforts and responses!
