How to Dynamically Implement onFocus and onBlur for Custom Inputs in React Native

If you're working on a React Native project and have created a custom input component, you may find yourself needing to implement dynamic onFocus and onBlur functionalities to enhance the user experience. This guide will guide you step-by-step on how to achieve that with your own CustomInput component.

The Problem

In your project, you've likely defined a custom input component reminiscent of a standard TextInput. Your goal is to trigger visual changes (like highlighting) when the user focuses on or leaves the input field. However, managing these events in a custom component can be a bit tricky compared to using a standard TextInput directly.

For instance, when using TextInput, you may apply the following syntax to manage focus and blur states:

Here, onFocus and onBlur methods are straightforward, but how do we bring similar functionalities to a custom input?

The Solution

To enable onFocus and onBlur for your CustomInput, we need to make a few modifications to your component. The key to the solution lies in using React.forwardRef to forward the ref to the inner TextInput. This allows you to access the input safely from the parent component.

Step-by-Step Implementation

Modify the Custom Input Component

You will use React.forwardRef to pass the input reference down to your TextInput. This is how you can achieve that:

By doing this, your CustomInput now accepts a ref and forwards it to the TextInput.

Use the Custom Input in the Parent Component

When implementing the CustomInput in your parent component, ensure you are capturing the focus and blur events as shown here:

Here, you create a reference to your CustomInput and use that reference to manage styles or behaviors when the input is focused or blurred.

Define the Focus and Blur Functions

You'll want to create methods to manage the visual changes when the input is focused or blurred:

These functions will change the input's border color when it is active or not.

Conclusion

By following the above steps, you can successfully implement dynamic onFocus and onBlur capabilities within your custom input components in React Native. This enables you to provide a more engaging and interactive experience for your users.

Now you can go ahead and integrate these features into your project to make your app stand out!
