👈 Processing Forms | TOC | Using Helpers 👉
Your application may allow users to upload files. For example, a bug-reporting system might let users attach log files and code samples to a problem ticket, or a blogging application could let its users upload a small image to appear next to their articles.
In HTTP, files are uploaded as a multipart/form-data POST message. As the name suggests, forms are used to generate this type of message. Within that form, you’ll use <input> tags with type=”file”. When rendered by a browser, this allows the user to select a file by name…

👈 Update the State with Events | TOC | What You Learned 👉
You already know how to update the application state in response to user actions. Another common scenario is updating the state based on the response from a remote server. What makes this different is that communications like this are asynchronous, meaning the server request goes on in the background while your code keeps running. Nevertheless, setState also fits the bill when you need to update the state in response to a server. As an example, we’ll add save functionality to the word counter. …
