Send a dynamic data which is not in the form

[Fidia-e]

Hi there,

I can send a static value in a hidden input, but I'd like to know if it's possible to do the same thing with a value witch is updated on form submission ?

I'm working with ReactJs.
I've tried with useState() and useRef() but the value keeps the initial state or nothing.

Thanks for help

I think you are doing everything right, if you are using the form and you need to add some data for the submitted data, then hidden input fields are the best solution.

Or you can create a state (by useState), save all changes there (onChange event), and then send this state through the "emailjs.send" method.

Okay, I will try and let you know, thank you !

Okay, I think the problem is that I'm using React-Hook-Form
And the data, I want to catch and send via EmailJS, isn't update in a input

Hi,

I fixed it this way :

• kept my hidden input
• set initial value in defaultValues of the useFrom() function of React-hook-Form
• use setValue() to set the value I wanted to send
• use trigger() of React-hook-Form too
• and finally {...register("myInputValue")}

And voilà
No useState needed

Thanks again for help
