getting blank input value on keydown event in fluent ui seachbox

[sagarkalokhe09]

Hi Team

I am trying to get input value from fluent ui searchbox using onkeydown event. but some how i am always getting an blank value.

I am simply using the onkeyDown prop from the searchbox like this

<SearchBox onKeyDown={(e)=>{alert(e.currentTarget.value)}}>

Hi @sagarkalokhe09, is this the v8 SearchBox? https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/fluentui#/controls/web/searchbox

The onKeyDown event happens before the value is updated. Consider using the onChange event instead. That also has a second parameter, which is the new value. See the documentation on the link above.

<SearchBox onChange={(_ev, value) => console.log(value)} />

Still no value.
