I am using multiple hooks within a component and I need to pass the hooks to the value. The react documentation was a little confusing and I don't quite understand how to format that information so that my other component can use it. How can I pass the the hooks to the value so that it is formatted correctly, so that it can be used. Because I think I am doing it wrong Can someone point me in the right direction?
Context API
import React, { useState, createContext } from 'react';
export const OptionsContext = createContext();
export const OptionsProvider = props => {
const [name, setName] = useState('');
const [price, setPrice] = useState(0);
const [amountOfOptions, setAmountOfOptions] = useState(0);
const [totalAmountSpent, setTotalAmountSpent] = useState(0);
const [listOfOptions, setListOfOptions] = useState([]);
const { clock } = new Date().toLocaleDateString();
return (
<OptionsContext.Provider value={
[name, setName],
[price, setPrice],
[amountOfOptions, setAmountOfOptions],
[totalAmountSpent, setTotalAmountSpent],
[listOfOptions, setListOfOptions],
clock
}>
{ props.children}
</OptionsContext.Provider>
);
}
Passing the API here
export default function Inputs() {
const [name, setName] = useContext(OptionsContext);
const [price, setPrice] = useContext(OptionsContext);
const [amountOfOptions, setAmountOfOptions] = useContext(OptionsContext);
const [totalAmountSpent, setTotalAmountSpent] = useContext(OptionsContext);
const [listOfOptions, setListOfOptions] = useContext(OptionsContext);
const { clock } = new Date().toLocaleDateString();
const handleSubmit = (e) => {
e.preventDefault()
e.target.reset();
addListOfOptions(
{
name,
price,
amountOfOptions,
totalAmountSpent
}
)
}
useEffect(() => {
setTotalAmountSpent((price * amountOfOptions) * 100)
});
const getInputValue = (hookSetter) => (e) => {
let { value } = e.target;
return hookSetter(value)
}
const addListOfOptions = (lists) => {
setListOfOptions([...listOfOptions, lists])
}
// const deleteItem = () => {
// listOfOptions.filter
// }
return (
<div className="formoutputs">
<form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
<input type="text" className="input stockname" placeholder="Enter Stock Symbol" onChange={getInputValue(setName)} />
<input type="text" className="input stockprice" placeholder="Enter Option Price" onChange={getInputValue(setPrice)} />
<input type="text" className="input stockamount" placeholder="Enter Number Of Option" onChange={getInputValue(setAmountOfOptions)} />
<button type="submit" className="btn">Submit</button>
</form>
<div className="outputs">
<table>
<tr>
<th>Date</th>
<th>Stock Name</th>
<th>Price Of Option</th>
<th>Number Of Options</th>
<th>Total Amount Spent</th>
</tr>
{listOfOptions.map(option => {
return (
<tr>
<td>{clock}</td>
<td>{option.name}</td>
<td>${option.price}</td>
<td>{option.amountOfOptions}</td>
<td>${option.totalAmountSpent}</td>
</tr>
)
})}
</table>
</div>
</div>
)
}
You can pass the context value as an object. I'd also recommend creating your own
useOptionsContext
hook so you don't need to calluseContext(OptionsContext)
:Then use it as follows:
