I am learning ReactJS and trying to develop small CRUD form using it. At this point, I am trying to set input values from other sibling ponent to perform update.
So, if I click on edit button in first row on grid, Organzation Name and Description input boxes should get "abc " and "pany Abc" values respectively.
var OrganizationHandler = React.createClass(
render: function() {
return (
<div>
<OrganizationAPP onOrganizationSubmit=this.handleOrganizationSubmit} />
<OrganizationList external_DeleteOrganization={this.DeleteOrganizationFromServer} data= {this.state.data} />
</div>
);
}
});
var OrganizationList = React.createClass({
internal_DeleteOrganization: function(id) {
this.props.external_DeleteOrganization(id);
},
render: function() {
var results = this.props.data;
var parsed_results = results.objects;
var that = this;
var organizations = parsed_results.map(function(organization){
return <Organization onDeleteOrganization={that.internal_DeleteOrganization} id={organization.id} name={organization.name} description={organization.description} />
});
return(
<div>
{organizations}
</div>
);
}
});
var Organization = React.createClass({
handleDeleteClick: function() {
console.log(this.props);
this.props.onDeleteOrganization(this.props.id);
},
handleEditClick: function () {
alert(this.props.name);
},
render: function() {
return (
<div className="row">
<div className="small-2 large-2 columns">{this.props.id}</div>
<div className="small-4 large-4 columns">{this.props.name}</div>
<div className="small-4 large-4 columns"> this.props.description}</div>
<div className="small-2 large-2 columns">
<input type="button" onClick={this.handleDeleteClick} data-order={this.props.id} value="Delete" />
<input type="button" onClick={this.handleEditClick} data-order={this.props.id} value="Edit" />
</div>
</div>
);
}
});
var OrganizationAPP= React.createClass({
getInitialState: function() {
return {name: '', description:''};
},
onChangename: function(e) {
this.setState({name: e.target.value});
},
onChangedescription: function(e) {
this.setState({description: e.target.value});
},
handleSubmit: function() {
var name = this.refs.name.getDOMNode().value.trim();
var description = this.refs.description.getDOMNode().value.trim();
if (!description || !name) {
return false;
}
this.props.onOrganizationSubmit('{"name":"' + name +'", "description": "' + description +'"}');
this.refs.name.getDOMNode().value = '';
this.refs.name.getDOMNode().value = '';
this.setState({name: '', description: ''});
return false;
},
render: function() {
return (
<div>
<h1>Organization Setup:</h1>
<form onSubmit={this.handleSubmit}>
<div className="row">
<div className="small-12 large-3 columns">
<label>Organization Name:</label>
<input type="text" ref="name" required value={this.props.name} onChange={this.onChangename}/>
</div>
</div>
<div className="row">
<div className="small-12 large-7 columns">
<label>description:</label>
<input type="text" required ref="description" value={this.props.description} onChange={this.onChangedescription} />
</div>
</div>
<div className="row">
<div className="small-2 large-3 columns">
<button type="submit"> Add </button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
</div>
)
}
});
I have successfully performed addition and deletion operations but I don't know how can I set values to be edit in input boxes from sibling ponent. Please let me know if you don't understand anything as I just started learning reactjs and I know my code is not up to the mark.

- To municate between siblings, the data they depend on should be controlled by a mon ancestor. Changes from one sibling will affect changes in the ancestor, which will pass the new data to the other sibling. Can you simplify your code example and/or fix the indentation? It would make it easier to offer advice. – Ross Allen Commented Jun 17, 2014 at 2:54
- @ssorallen Thank you for your response. I have edited the codes, would you please suggest me how to achieve this task. Thanks in advance. – sAm Commented Jun 17, 2014 at 7:57

Reset to default 15Here is an example list editing app where editing an item content is done with a parent input (could easily be a sibling).
/** @jsx React.DOM */
//React is for rendering our app UI.
//Not for writing the app.
//So the first step is building out your logic in whatever you prefer.
//That could be Backbone, some other framework, or plain JS as we do here.
//our app
var app = {
//we'll tell this listener when we change
listener: null,
//a cheap way of creating IDs for our new data
nextId: 3,
//pre-populate our data
rows: [
{id: 1, name: "entry 1"},
{id: 2, name: "entry 2"}
],
//what data are we focused on
focusedId: 1,
//add a new row of data and set it to focused
addRow: function () {
var id = this.nextId++;
this.rows.push({id: id, name: ("entry " + id)});
this.setFocusedId(id);
},
//get the name property given the data id
getName: function(id){
return _.findWhere(this.rows, {id: id}).name;
},
//update the name property of the currently focused data
updateName: function (name) {
var id = this.focusedId;
_.findWhere(this.rows, {id: id}).name = name;
this.listener.changed();
},
//set the focused data
setFocusedId: function (id) {
this.focusedId = id;
this.listener.changed();
},
};
//a row ponent
var Row = React.createClass({
render: function () {
if (this.props.focused) {
return <span>Value: {this.props.name} [editing]</span>;
} else {
return <span>
Value: {this.props.name}
[<a href='#' onClick={this.props.focus}>edit</a>]
</span>;
}
}
});
//the main view
var View = React.createClass({
//our state is the app
getInitialState: function () {
return {
app: app
};
},
//before we render, start listening to the app for changes
ponentWillMount: function () {
this.state.app.listener = this;
},
//update if the app tells us it changed
changed: function () {
this.forceUpdate();
},
//a handler we'll use for input fields
textChanged: function (event) {
this.state.app.updateName(event.target.value);
},
//let's render
render: function () {
var app = this.state.app;
//build an array of row ponents
var rows = _.map(app.rows, function (row) {
var focus = function () {
app.setFocusedId(row.id);
};
//the actual row ponent
//give the row a unique id
//give it a name, the focus handler function,
//and tell it if it has the current focus
return <li key={row.id}>
<Row
name={row.name}
focused={row.id == app.focusedId}
focus={focus}
/>
</li>;
});
//the main app view
return <div>
EDIT:
<input
type="text"
value={app.getName(app.focusedId)}
onChange={this.textChanged}
/>
<ul>{rows}</ul>
<a href="#"
onClick={function(){app.addRow()}}>
add row
</a>
</div>;
}
});
React.renderComponent(
<View />
, document.body);
Here is a working example: http://jsbin./laxejufila/2/edit
