I am pretty new to web development, I want to be able to retrieve the value in the select that is selected in the below code, but I am unable to.
I want to get it in a variable in order to send it using api. I am able to open the dropdown meni and able to
import {useHistory} from 'react-router-dom'
import { useForm, FormActions } from '../../context/FormContext'
import { Theme } from '../../components/Theme/intex'
import { ChangeEvent, useEffect } from 'react'
export const FormStep1 = () => {
const history = useHistory()
const { state, dispatch} = useForm()
const handleNameChange = (e: ChangeEvent<HTMLInputElement>) => {
dispatch({
type: FormActions.setName,
payload: e.target.value
})
}
const handleNextStep = () =>{
if(state.name !== '') {
history.push('/step2')
} else{
alert('Please enter your details')
}
state.team = 'test'
}
useEffect(()=>{
dispatch({
type: FormActions.setCurrentStep,
payload: 1
})
},[])
return(
<Theme>
<C.Container>
<p className='Step'>Step 1/3</p>
<h2>Team Name</h2>
<p>Select Existing Team or Create a New Team</p>
<label> Select your team_usecase </label>
<select name="pets" id="pet-select">
<option value=""> Select your team </option>
<option value="dog">dog</option>
<option value="cat">cat</option>
<option value="hamster">hamster</option>
<option value="parrot">parrot</option>
<option value="spider">spider</option>
<option value="goldfish">Goldfish</option>
</select>
)
}```
I was able to find a few solutions but I couldn't get them to work, so any help would be appreciated.
