'Material UI Autocomplete component not showing values from react state
I am trying to get value from the state for materialUI's autocomplete component.
I am facing the following problem : -
Autocomplte working fine for selecting the value and with onChange function it saving it into the state too. But when I refresh my page/ re-render it is not showing value on the textfeild(from saved state):
<Autocomplete
name={"TideLocation"}
disabled={p.disabled}
options={data_source}
getOptionLabel={option => option.text}
inputValue={this.state.tidelocation_searchtext}
onChange={_this.handleUpdateTideLocationField}
onNewRequest={_this.handleChangeTideLocation}
onBlur={_this.handleBlurTideLocationField}
onUpdateInput={_this.handleUpdateTideLocationField}
renderInput={(params) => (
<TextField className="autoCompleteTxt"{...params} label="Location" />
)}
/>
I tried with the debugger and found its getting value in this.state.tidelocation_searchtext
but failed to set it with params.
Thanks in advance !! Ps: I tried with defaultValue and search text nothing worked for me
following is my ONchangeFunction
handleUpdateTideLocationField = (str, value) => {
debugger
this.setState({tidelocation_searchtext: value.text});
}
after selecting a value,following value saved in sate :
tidelocation_searchtext: "Auckland"

If data/state not saved externally f.e. in local storage then it will be lost on page refresh, always. It's normal - like RAM memory without power - it (page/app state) only exists in memory !!
It's like using using cookie to keep you logged in.
If you really need such functionality then use f.e. redux-persist

Removing inputValue has worked for me, even when passing object as options.
Using: "@material-ui/core": "^4.12.3"
Solution 3:[3]
You are right, if object type options are passed, material-ui's AutoComplete component does not seem to reflect the value when mounted. (Perhaps a bug?)
I was able to get around this by passing the proper characters to inputValue.

Maybe you should have initialized tidelocation_searchtext.
