Handling the Multiple Select Box in React with a Single State

Managing multiple select boxes in a React application can be tricky if you are not familiar with how to handle state effectively. If you're building a form with select elements for a user to choose from various options, you'd want to capture all of those selections in a single coherent state object. In this guide, we will explore a straightforward way to handle multiple select boxes with React using a single state.

The Problem

Imagine you are creating a form that allows users to select their country and nationality from two separate select boxes. The goal is to keep track of both selections in one unified state.

Initial State Setup

Let's start by defining our initial state. We will create a state object with two properties: country and nationality:

With this setup, we can store the values of both select boxes within the same state object.

Creating the Select Boxes

Next, we will build our select elements. We have two select tags - one for country and another for nationality:

Select for Country

Select for Nationality

The challenge lies in ensuring that the selections made in these two select boxes update our state accurately.

The Solution

The key to solve this problem is using the name property of the <select> elements combined with a single onChange handler function. This allows one function to handle changes for both select boxes.

Step-by-step Implementation

Set up the Event Handler: Create a function that takes in the event and updates the state based on which select box has changed.

Update the Select Boxes: Each select box will have the name attribute for identification, and use the handleChange function to update the state whenever the value changes.

Conclusion

By leveraging the name property of the select boxes and a single state object to manage their values, you can efficiently track multiple selections in React. This approach keeps your code clean and your state management straightforward.
