I am trying to make a component in my ReactNative app in which user can give only numbers as input, but my JavaScript reg expression is not working correctly. I used React Native hooks to manage states. I am trying to validate user input for only numbers, but input text field also replacing the numbers with empty string. The code of the component is follwoing;
import React, { useState } from 'react';
import { StyleSheet, Text, View, TextInput, Button, TouchableOpacity } from 'react-native';
import Card from '../components/Card';
import Colors from '../constants/Colors';
import Input from '../components/Input';
const StartGameScreen = props => {
const [enteredValue, setEnteredValue] = useState ('');
const numberInputHandler = inputText => {
setEnteredValue (inputText.replace(/[^0-9]/g, ''));
};
return (
<View style={styles.screen}>
<Text style={styles.title}>Start a New Game</Text>
<Card style={styles.inputContainer}>
<Text>Select a Number</Text>
<Input style={styles.inputText}
blurOnSubmit
auotCaptalize={'none'}
autoCorrect={false}
maxLength={2}
keyboardType={'number-pad'}
onChnageText={numberInputHandler}
value={enteredValue}
/>
<View style={styles.buttonContainer}>
<TouchableOpacity activeOpacity={0.4} style={{backgroundColor: Colors.accent, ...styles.button}}>
<Text style={styles.buttonText}>Reset</Text>
</TouchableOpacity>
<TouchableOpacity activeOpacity={0.4} style={{backgroundColor: Colors.primary, ...styles.button}}>
<Text style={styles.buttonText}>Confirm</Text>
</TouchableOpacity>
</View>
</Card>
</View>
);
}
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
screen: {
flex: 1,
padding: 10,
alignItems: 'center'
},
button: {
borderRadius: 8,
justifyContent: 'center',
alignItems: 'center',
height: 35,
width: 80
},
buttonText: {
color: 'white'
},
title: {
fontSize: 20,
marginVertical: 10
},
inputContainer: {
padding: 10,
width: 300,
height: 120,
maxWidth: '80%'
},
inputText: {
width: 35,
textAlign: "center",
},
buttonContainer: {
height: 30,
flexDirection: 'row',
width: '100%',
justifyContent: 'space-between',
paddingHorizontal: 15,
alignItems: "center"
}
});
export default StartGameScreen;
The code for the input component is following;
import React from 'react';
import { TextInput, StyleSheet} from 'react-native';
const Input = props => {
return (
<TextInput {...props} style={{...styles.input, ...props.style}}/>
);
}
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
input: {
height: 30,
borderBottomWidth: 1,
borderBottomColor: 'grey',
marginVertical: 10
}
});
export default Input;
You've misspelled the prop in your implementation of Input on your StartGameScreen component which is responsible for handling the change.
onChnageText should be onChangeText
The reason your non numbers are "replaced" as well is actually because the change handler isn't mapped to onChangeText due to that typo.
Extra Note:
You've also made another typo in your Input implementation.
auotCaptalize should be autoCapitalize
