In this article, I would like to show you how to make a simple login form in React.
Before we start, I would highly recommend you to check out runnable example for the solution on our website:

Final effect:

Below I will try to explain to you how to create such a form in a few steps.
The whole structure of the example consists of the Field
component, which will serve as a reusable code β», and the Form
, which puts it all together.
In our case, the style
property was used for styling. π¨
To get the values entered by the user in the inputs, Iβve used the useRef
hook, with which we can easily obtain a handle to a DOM element and retrieve the current value.
Using these values, we build an object that we can then send to the server after handling onSubmit
. π€
To prevent the page reloading onSubmit event, we explicitly called preventDefault()
method.
πNote
By defaultref
property is reserved by React, so we should use theforwardRef
function.
