When I call setState and my form is re-rendered, the value of the text input doesn't change.
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { Button, Col, Form, Row } from 'react-bootstrap';
export default class Test extends Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
status: "new"
}
}
approve = (e) => {
this.setState({
status: "I'm newer than you!"
});
e.preventDefault();
}
render() {
return (
<div>
Status is {this.state.status}
<Form onSubmit={this.approve}>
<Form.Group as={Row} controlId="status">
<Form.Label column >Status</Form.Label>
<Col>
<Form.Control readOnly type="text" size="sm" defaultValue={this.state.status} />
</Col>
</Form.Group>
<Form.Group as={Row}>
<Button type="submit">approve</Button>
</Form.Group>
</Form>
</div>
);
}
}
When I click on the button, I see the static text ("Status is ...") get updated but the input field does not. Have I wrongly assumed the text input should update?
