+To write an uncontrolled component, instead of writing an event handler for every state update, you can use a ref to get form values from the DOM. In uncontrolled input we get data from input fields like traditional HTML form data handling.

-
-Another HTML fields to get data from a form are textarea and select with options elements.
-
-```html

-
-
-```
-
-Now, you know most of the fields we need to get data from a form. Let's start with an input with type text field. In the previous day, we saw different types of events and today we will focus on more of _onChange_ event type which triggers whenever an input field data changes. Input field has by default a memory to store input data but in this section we control that using state and we implement a controlled input. Today we will implement a controlled input. We will cover uncontrolled input in a separate section.
-
-## Getting data from an input field
-
-So far we did not get any data from input field. Now, it is time to learn how to get data from an input field. We need on input field, event listener (onChange) and state to get data from a controlled input. See the example below. The h1 element below the input tag display what we write on the input. Check live [demo](https://codepen.io/Asabeneh/full/OJVpyqm).
+```js
+import React, { Component } from 'react'
+import ReactDOM from 'react-dom'
-The input element has many attributes such as value, name, id, placeholder, type and event handler. In addition, we can link a label and an input field using an id of input field and htmlFor of the label.If label and input are linked it will focus the input when we click on label. Look at the example give below.
+class App extends Component {
+ firstName = React.createRef()
-```js
-class App extends React.Component {
- // declaring state
- // initial state
- state = {
- firstName: '',
- }
- handleChange = (e) => {
- const value = e.target.value
- this.setState({ firstName: value })
+ handleSubmit = (e) => {
+ e.preventDefault()
+ console.log(this.firstName.current.value)
}
render() {
- // accessing the state value and this value will injected to the input in the value attribute
- const firstName = this.state.firstName
return (
-
)
}
}
-```
-We usually use form to handle use information. Let us move to form section and make use the form element.
+const rootElement = document.getElementById('root')

## Getting multiple input data from form
-In this section we will develop a small form which collect user information. Our user is a student. We use a parent form element and certain number of input elements to collect user information. In addition to that we will have event listener for the form (onSubmit) and for the inputs (onChange). See the following example try to see the commonts too. You can also check the live [demo](https://codepen.io/Asabeneh/full/eYNvJda).

-## Form Validation
-
-## What is validation?
-
-The action or process of checking or proving the validity or accuracy of something in this case data.
-
-## What is the purpose of validation
-
-The main purpose to validation is to get a desired data from users. In addition, to prevent malicious users and data.
-
-## Validation Types
-
-Validation can be done in client side or sever side. At the moment, we are using React which is a front end technology and we use client side validation.A validation can implement using HTML5 built-in validation or using JavaScript(using regular expression).

+Most of the time we use controlled input instead of uncontrolled input. In case if you want to target some element on the DOM you will use ref to get the content of that element. Don't touch directly using pure JavaScript. When you develop a React application do not touch the DOM directly because React has its own way of handling the DOM manipulation.
