# Input Test Case | ||
# Inputs | ||
|
||
More information around the history of inputs could go here. | ||
This fixture should help identify edge cases with inputs. There are a couple of | ||
important concepts to be aware of when working on inputs in React. | ||
|
||
## `defaultValue` vs `value` | ||
|
||
An input's value is drawn from two properties: `defaultValue` and `value`. | ||
|
||
The `defaultValue` property directly maps to the value _attribute_, for example: | ||
|
||
```javascript | ||
var input = document.createElement('input') | ||
input.defaultValue = 'hello' | ||
|
||
console.log(input.getAttribute('value')) // => "hello" | ||
``` | ||
|
||
The `value` property manipulates the _working value_ for the input. This property | ||
changes whenever the user interacts with an input, or it is modified with JavaScript: | ||
|
||
```javascript | ||
var input = document.createElement('input') | ||
input.defaultValue = 'hello' | ||
input.value = 'goodbye' | ||
|
||
console.log(input.getAttribute('value')) // => "hello" | ||
console.log(input.value) // => "goodbye" | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## value detachment | ||
|
||
Until `value` is manipulated by a user or JavaScript, manipulating `defaultValue` | ||
will also modify the `value` property: | ||
|
||
```javascript | ||
var input = document.createElement('input') | ||
// This will turn into 3 | ||
input.defaultValue = 3 | ||
// This will turn into 5 | ||
input.defaultValue = 5 | ||
// This will turn into 7 | ||
input.value = 7 | ||
// This will do nothing | ||
input.defaultValue = 1 | ||
``` | ||
|
||
**React detaches all inputs**. This prevents `value` from accidentally updating if | ||
`defaultValue` changes. |
