I don't suggest keeping the inputvalue as an array (since it will mess with your textarea output). However, you can easily create the array when you submit it via axois.

Just use ".split(/\n/)" on your request to create the array of values.

You may want to do it like:

axios.post('/inputData', { values: inputvalue.split(/\n/) } , {
  headers: { 'Content-Type': 'text/plain' }
})
.then((response) => {
  setData(response.data);
});
