Multiple unique dropdown security questions in REACT.js












1















I am trying to generate a series of security questions. I have a pool of available questions. There will be three such question dropdown list in my webpage. Q1,Q2,Q3.
I am able to build that quite correctly. Using react select.



However, the problem is when I am selecting one question in Q1. I want that question not to be available in the dropdown for Q2. However everytime it appears the same set. Howcan I remove the already selected questions from the list.?



             class dropdownqs extends React.Component {
constructor() {
super();
this.state = {
options : [
{ value: ‘What was your childhood nickname?’, label: ‘What was your childhood nickname?’ },
{ value: ‘In what city did you meet your spouse/significant other?’, label: ‘In what city did you meet your spouse/significant other?’},
{ value: ‘What is the name of your favorite childhood friend?’, label: ‘What is the name of your favorite childhood friend?’},
{ value: ‘What street did you live on in third grade?’, label: ‘What street did you live on in third grade?’},
{ value: ‘What is the middle name of your youngest child?’, label: ‘What is the middle name of your youngest child?’ },
{ value: ‘What is the middle name of your oldest sibling?’, label: ‘What is the middle name of your oldest sibling?’},
{ value: ‘What school did you attend for sixth grade?’, label: ‘What school did you attend for sixth grade’ },
{ value: ‘What was the name of your first stuffed animal?’, label: ‘What was the name of your first stuffed animal?’ },
{ value: ‘In what city or town did your mather and father meet?’, label: ‘In what city or town did your mather and father meet?’ }
]
}
this.handleChangeqs1 = this.handleChangeqs1.bind(this);
this.handleChangeqs2 = this.handleChangeqs2.bind(this);
this.handleChangeqs3 = this.handleChangeqs3.bind(this);


// function
handleChangeqs1(selectedOption){
// this.setState({ selectedOption});
this.setState({ selectedOptionqs1: selectedOption });
var i;
var array = this.state.options;
for(i = 0; i < array.length; i++){
if(array[i].value==selectedOption.value){
array.splice(i,1)
this.setState({
options: array
})
break;
}
}
}
// function
handleChangeqs2(selectedOption) {
//this.setState({ selectedOption});
this.setState({ selectedOptionqs2:selectedOption });
var i;
var array = this.state.options;
for(i = 0; i < array.length; i++){
if(array[i].value==selectedOption.value){

this.setState({

break;
}
}
}
// function

this.setState({ selectedOptionqs3 : selectedOption });

To have 3 input select's where each cannot select an option chosen by the rest of the select's you'll want to start by adding a new property to your existing state that holds all the already chosen questions.



Once we know the options already chosen by all select's we can begin with all possible questions then filter out those questions already chosen via the filter function:



getAvailableOptions = () => {
const availableOptionsLeft = this.state.filterOptions;
return availableOptionsLeft.filter(questionOption => {
return this.state.questionVals.indexOf(questionOption) === -1;
});
};

To have 3 input select's where each cannot select an option chosen by the rest of the select's you'll want to start by adding a new property to your existing state that holds all the already chosen questions.



Once we know the options already chosen by all select's we can begin with all possible questions then filter out those questions already chosen via the filter function:



getAvailableOptions = () => {
const availableOptionsLeft = this.state.filterOptions;
return availableOptionsLeft.filter(questionOption => {
return this.state.questionVals.indexOf(questionOption) === -1;
});
};
