React Native How to pass textinput values from child component to parent component

Question

I want to make a simple textinput operation. User can input its name.

I created class based parent (App.js) and functional based (InputName.js)

I called child component in parent class as

<InputName />

I created InputName.js as

 const InputName = () => {

const [text, setText] = React.useState(null);
return ( <TextInput 
autoCapitalize='none' 
onChangeText={(text) => setText(text)} 
style={styles.userTextInput} />)

}

My question is How can I reach onChangeText value in child component from parent.

   //imports
   import EmailInput from '../components/EmailInput';
   

   class Login extends Component { 

        state = {
        inputValue: '',
    }
        constructor(props) {
        super(props);
    }

    onChangeText = (text) => {
    this.setState({inputValue: text.target.value});
    };

    render() {
 return (
  <EmailInput value={this.state.inputValue} onChangeText={(text) => this.onChangeText(text)} />  )}};

// Input File

    const EmailInput = (onChangeText, value) => {
    const [text, setText] = React.useState(null);
    return ( <TextInput 
    autoCapitalize='none'
    value={value} 
    onChangeText={onChangeText} 
    style={//styles} />)
  }
                               

Answer 1

just pass your method from child component in parent class. here is an working example:

import React from 'react';
import {TextInput} from 'react-native';

class EmailInput extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = {};
  }

  render() {
    const {onTextChange, inputValue} = this.props;
    return (
      <TextInput
        autoCapitalize="none"
        value={inputValue}
        onChangeText={onTextChange}
      />
    );
  }
}

export default EmailInput;

in your main class just do the following:

import React from 'react';
import {
  SafeAreaView,
} from 'react-native';
import EmailInput from '../components/EmailInput';

class LandingScreen extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = {
      locals: {},
      inputValue: '',
    };
  }

  onTextChange = text => {
    this.setState({inputValue: text.target.value});
  };
  render() {
    return (
      <SafeAreaView style={styles.container}>
             <EmailInput
          inputValue={this.state.inputValue}
          onChangeText={text => this.onTextChange(text)}
        />
      </SafeAreaView>
    );
  }
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({

});

const mapStateToProps = state => {
  const apiLoading = state.common.apiLoading;
  return {
    apiLoading,
  };
};

export default connect(mapStateToProps, actions)(LandingScreen);
