How to let the user input number and increase it with a button in React JS

Question

I want to let the user input the clicks times and increase it with a button, but I don't know-how. Here's the code.

import React, { Component } from "react";

class Click extends Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = {
      clicks: 0,
      show: true,
    };
  }


  IncrementItem = () => {
    this.setState({ clicks: this.state.clicks + 1 });
  };

  DecreaseItem = () => {
    if (this.state.clicks < 1) {
      this.setState({
        clicks: 0,
      });
    } else {
      this.setState({
        clicks: this.state.clicks - 1,
      });
    }
  };
  ToggleClick = () => {
    this.setState({ show: !this.state.show });
  };
  handleChange(event) {
    this.setState({ clicks: event.target.value });
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <button onClick={this.DecreaseItem}>Click to decrease by 1</button>
        <button onClick={this.IncrementItem}>Click to increase by 1</button>

        <button onClick={this.ToggleClick}>
          {this.state.show ? "Hide number" : "Show number"}
        </button>
        {this.state.show ? ( <input type="number" name="clicks" value={this.state.clicks}onChange = {this.handleChange.bind(this)}/>) : (" ")}
      </div>
    );
  }
}

export default Click;

You need to convert the event.target.value to number before saving it in state otherwise its just saved as a string

  handleChange(event) {
    this.setState({ clicks: Number(event.target.value) });
  }

Also replace the input value field to value={Number(this.state.clicks).toString()} so that it doesn't keep on showing the leading 0

This works well, but I can't remove the 0 after I changed the code. Is there any way to remove the 0 and then input the number in?

The other answer doesn't account for min and max values. Here's my approach (I'm using this for an RSVP form, hence the guest constants)

import React, { useState } from 'react'

export default function RSVP() {
  const [count, setCount] = useState(1)
  const maxGuests = 10
  const minGuests = 1

  const handleCount = (e) => {
    if (e > maxGuests) {
      setCount(maxGuests)
    } else if (e < minGuests) {
      setCount(minGuests)
    } else setCount(e)
  }

  const decrementCount = () => {
    if (count > minGuests) setCount(count - 1)
  }

  const incrementCount = () => {
    if (count < maxGuests) setCount(count + 1)
    else if (count > maxGuests) setCount(maxGuests)
  }

  return (
    <form>
      <div className='flex gap-3 py-4 my-3'>
        <input
          type='button'
          onClick={() => decrementCount()}
          value='-'
          className='cursor-pointer'
        />
        <input
          required
          type='number'
          name='counter'
          value={count}
          onChange={(event) => {
            handleCount(event.target.value)
          }}
        />
        <input
          type='button'
          onClick={() => incrementCount()}
          value='+'
          className='cursor-pointer'
        />
      </div>
    </form>
  )
}

In case it helps someone, here's an example using a function components, using React Hooks.

import React, { useState } from "react";

function Click() {
  const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
  const [isVisible, setIsVisible] = useState(true);

  const decrementCount = () => {
    if (count > 0) setCount(count - 1);
  };

  const incrementCount = () => {
    setCount(count + 1);
  };

  const toggleVisibility = () => {
    setIsVisible(!isVisible);
  };

  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={decrementCount}>Click to decrease by 1</button>
      <button onClick={incrementCount}>Click to increase by 1</button>
      <button onClick={toggleVisibility}>
        {isVisible ? "Hide number" : "Show number"}
      </button>
      {isVisible && (
        <input
          type="number"
          name="clicks"
          value={count}
          onChange={(event) => {
            const value = Number(event.target.value);
            setCount(value);
          }}
        />
      )}
    </div>
  );
}

This does not work if you manually input a number and then attempt to use in increment buttons- it pushes the new number to the end. If you manually enter 5 and then hit the +1 button, the number changes to 51.

If you have a min and max**

@JordyJordyJordyJordan Good catch. I think I fixed it by casting the value of the input to a Number() before storing it in state. It's been a few years since I've used CodeSandbox so I'm not 100% if the change saved.
