How to Submit on Enter Key Press in a Chakra-UI Input

When building web applications, it's common to want your users to have the most efficient experience possible. This includes allowing them to submit forms using the enter key. In this post, we'll address a specific challenge: How do you make a Chakra-UI input field submit when the user presses the enter key?

The Problem

You might have a functional search button in your component, but if users aren't able to submit by pressing enter, it can lead to frustration. This issue usually arises because the input field does not properly capture the enter key press event and relay it to the appropriate submit handler.

The user wants to ensure that the input field directs them to a new URL when the enter key is pressed or when the search button is clicked. Here’s how you can achieve this with React and Chakra-UI.

Solution Overview

To enable form submission with the enter key, follow these steps:

Create a form around the input element and handle the onSubmit event.

Alternatively, add an onKeyPress event to the input field to check for the enter key.

Let's break these solutions down into more detail.

Solution 1: Wrapping the Input in a Form

The most straightforward approach is to wrap your input element inside a form and utilize the onSubmit event handler. Here’s how you can do it:

Explanation

Form Element: Wrapping the input in a <form> element allows pressing enter within the input field to trigger the onSubmit event.

handleSubmit Function: This function captures the enter key press, prevents the default form submission, and redirects users to the specified URL with the search input appended as a parameter.

Solution 2: Using onKeyPress Handler

If you prefer not to use a form element, you can handle the key press event directly on the input element. Here’s an example:

Explanation

onKeyPress: This function checks if the pressed key is the enter key. If so, it executes the redirect function.

Behavior: Users can now submit their search directly from the input field without needing to click the button.

Conclusion

Implementing submission on the enter key press in your Chakra-UI input can be achieved by either wrapping the input in a form or directly handling key press events. Both approaches will benefit user experience by allowing quicker interactions. You can choose based on your project's requirements and coding preferences.

By following the solutions outlined in this post, you'll be able to enhance your application and allow more intuitive navigation for your users. Happy coding!
