What are uncontrolled components in React?

What are uncontrolled components in React?

Uncontrolled components are components that do not store their form data in the state. Instead, they rely on the DOM to manage their data.

Can you give me an example of an uncontrolled component?

Sure! A simple example is an input field where you can access its value using a ref instead of state.

What are the benefits of using uncontrolled components?

They can be easier to integrate with non-React code and can simplify the code for certain use cases.

When should I use uncontrolled components instead of controlled ones?

Use uncontrolled components when you don't need to manage the form data in React state, like in simple forms or when integrating with third-party libraries.
