[javascript] How to properly validate input values with React.JS?

Use onChange={this.handleChange.bind(this, "name") method and value={this.state.fields["name"]} on input text field and below that create span element to show error, see the below example.

export default class Form extends Component {

  constructor(){
    super()
    this.state ={
       fields: {
         name:'',
         email: '',
         message: ''
       },
       errors: {},
       disabled : false
    }
  }

  handleValidation(){
       let fields = this.state.fields;
       let errors = {};
       let formIsValid = true;

       if(!fields["name"]){
          formIsValid = false;
          errors["name"] = "Name field cannot be empty";
       }

       if(typeof fields["name"] !== "undefined" && !fields["name"] === false){
          if(!fields["name"].match(/^[a-zA-Z]+$/)){
             formIsValid = false;
             errors["name"] = "Only letters";
          }
       }

       if(!fields["email"]){
          formIsValid = false;
          errors["email"] = "Email field cannot be empty";
       }

       if(typeof fields["email"] !== "undefined" && !fields["email"] === false){
          let lastAtPos = fields["email"].lastIndexOf('@');
          let lastDotPos = fields["email"].lastIndexOf('.');

          if (!(lastAtPos < lastDotPos && lastAtPos > 0 && fields["email"].indexOf('@@') === -1 && lastDotPos > 2 && (fields["email"].length - lastDotPos) > 2)) {
             formIsValid = false;
             errors["email"] = "Email is not valid";
           }
      }

      if(!fields["message"]){
         formIsValid = false;
         errors["message"] = " Message field cannot be empty";
      }

      this.setState({errors: errors});
      return formIsValid;
  }

  handleChange(field, e){
      let fields = this.state.fields;
      fields[field] = e.target.value;
      this.setState({fields});
  }

  handleSubmit(e){
      e.preventDefault();
      if(this.handleValidation()){
          console.log('validation successful')
        }else{
          console.log('validation failed')
        }
  }

  render(){
    return (
      <form onSubmit={this.handleSubmit.bind(this)} method="POST">
          <div className="row">
            <div className="col-25">
                <label htmlFor="name">Name</label>
            </div>
            <div className="col-75">
                <input type="text" placeholder="Enter Name"  refs="name" onChange={this.handleChange.bind(this, "name")} value={this.state.fields["name"]}/>
                <span style={{color: "red"}}>{this.state.errors["name"]}</span>
            </div>
          </div>
          <div className="row">
            <div className="col-25">
              <label htmlFor="exampleInputEmail1">Email address</label>
            </div>
            <div className="col-75">
                <input type="email" placeholder="Enter Email" refs="email" aria-describedby="emailHelp" onChange={this.handleChange.bind(this, "email")} value={this.state.fields["email"]}/>
                <span style={{color: "red"}}>{this.state.errors["email"]}</span>
            </div>
          </div>
          <div className="row">
            <div className="col-25">
                <label htmlFor="message">Message</label>
            </div>
            <div className="col-75">
                <textarea type="text" placeholder="Enter Message" rows="5" refs="message" onChange={this.handleChange.bind(this, "message")} value={this.state.fields["message"]}></textarea>
                <span style={{color: "red"}}>{this.state.errors["message"]}</span>
            </div>
          </div>
          <div className="row">
            <button type="submit" disabled={this.state.disabled}>{this.state.disabled ? 'Sending...' : 'Send'}</button>
          </div>
      </form>
    )
  }
