//Create Form
onSubmit(e){
e.preventDefault();
if(this.handleValidation()){
alert("Form submit");
}
}

<button type="submit" className="btn btn-success active" onClick={this.onSubmit}><b>Create</b></button>
<button type="button" className="btn btn-warning"><b>Preview</b></button>
<button type="button" className="btn btn-danger" onClick={this.onCancel}><b>Cancel</b></button>

Get all input field in state, after reset state with help of setState() function.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Bootstrap</title>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="">
<script src=""></script>
<script src=""></script>
<script src=""></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="input"></div>
<script type="text/babel">
var FormField = React.createClass({
getInitialState: function(){
return {
name:"Vijayabal"
}
},
resetData : function(){
this.setState({
name : ''
});
},
render : function(){
return (
<div>
<input type="text" value = {this.state.name}/>
<button onClick = {this.resetData}>Submit</button>
</div>
)
}
});
ReactDOM.render(<FormField/>, document.getElementById('input'));
</script>
</body>
</html>
Edited your codesandbox to get it working:
Note that if you set fields to an empty object in your cancel function, then you have to be sure to set each field to an empty string in your input values (I just did the first field):
value={this.state.fields["event_bucket"] || ''}
I recommend making the input a controlled input. Try this on for size:
class ComponentName extends Component {
constructor(props){
super(props)
this.state = {
myValue: ''
}
this.clearData = this.clearData.bind(this)
this.handleChangeTextbox = this.handleChangeTextbox.bind(this)
this.onSubmit = this.onSubmit.bind(this)
this.onCancel = this.onCancel.bind(this)
}
clearData(){
this.setState({
myValue: ''
})
}
handleValidation(){
return 'whatever'
}
handleChangeTextbox(e){
this.setState({
myValue: e.target.value
})
}
onSubmit(e){
e.preventDefault();
if(this.handleValidation()){
alert("Form submit")
this.clearData()
}
}
onCancel(e){
e.preventDefault()
alert("Cancel")
this.clearData()
}
render() {
return (
<div>
<textarea value={this.state.myValue} onChange={this.handleChangeTextbox} />
<button type="submit" className="btn btn-success active" onClick={this.onSubmit}><b>Create</b></button>
<button type="button" className="btn btn-warning"><b>Preview</b></button>
<button type="button" className="btn btn-danger" onClick={this.onCancel}><b>Cancel</b></button>
</div>
)
}
}
