I have a working Rails form in which I'm trying to implement one field as a React Component (as an input with autosuggester). I have the React autosuggester working perfectly (so I don't want to use a library for it), and now I'm trying to figure out how to get the selection back in the form_for data. The form currently looks something like this:
<%= form_for (@user, url: :interests_path, method: :put) do |f| %>
<%= f.fields_for :user_interests do |builder| %>
<%= f.text_field :title %>
<%= react_component(...(@interests already passed in successfully) %>
<% end %>
<% end %>
The react component has an input field in it, and I'd like to get the value of that back into the form somehow. Is there a way to grab it from its parent container? Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
