Thanks to  Cory s hint  i used this   inputChangeHandler   function  event        var stateObject   function           returnObj             returnObj this target id    this target value           return returnObj        bind event          this setState  stateObject             If using ES6 or the Babel transpiler to transform your JSX code  you can accomplish this with computed property names  too   inputChangeHandler   function  event        this setState    event target id   event target value            alternatively using template strings for strings        this setState     key  event target id     event target value

When you need to handle multiple controlled input elements  you can add a name attribute to each element and let the handler function choose what to do based on the value of event target name   For example    x000D   x000D  inputChangeHandler event    x000D    this setState    event target name   event target value     x000D    x000D   x000D   x000D
