I have already seen other answers that are similar to each other, but since I'm a beginner, I tried to implement them, and I got so confused that nothing worked for me. Here is the problem:
I have a search bar (Searchbar component) that should have a submit button. When the button is pressed, the search results should appear in the Viewer component. I do not know how to connect an event from Searchbar to Viewer. How to tell one component that something has changed in another? I want two brothers and sisters to report that
import React from 'react';
var Searchbar = React.createClass({
getInitialState: function () {
return {};
},
handleSubmit: function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
},
render: function () {
return (
<form onSubmit={this.handleSubmit}>
<h3>I'm looking for:</h3>
<input ref="srch" type="search" id="search" placeholder="Search..." />
<button>Go</button>
<hr />
</
});
export default Searchbar;
now for the result component:
var Result = React.createClass({
render() {
return (
<div>
<hr />
<h2>Result here</h2>
<h2>{this.props.result.drug_name}</h2>
<span>{this.props.result.description}</span>
<img src={this.props.result.image} />
</div>
)
}
export default Result;
They are both contained in the src folder and appear in App.js as
var App = React.createClass({
render: function () {
return (
<div>
<Searchbar />
<Viewer />
</div>
)
}
});
