The first state variable is newUser and it's initialized to an empty string. There is a form with an input field to change newUser to whatever the input is. There are also two more state variables: users, which is initialized to {currentUser: false}
, and userInfo, initialized to {id: "example", amount: "x", users}
where users is that same state variable.
I'm building a button to add users to the users state variable. onCLick the button calls the following function:
const handleAdd = e => {
e.preventDefault();
setUsers({...users, newUser: false})
setUserInfo({
id: "example",
amount: "x",
users
})
setNewUser("")
}
The problem I'm running into is that instead of adding the value of the variable newUser as a key to the object, the key that is added to the object is newUser. Ex: if I type "john" into the input field and click the button, users should look like this:
{
currentUser: false,
"john": false
}
and instead it looks like this:
{
currentUser: false,
newUser: false
}
How can I add the actual value of the variable newUser as the key instead of the variable itself?
