Hi!

There are only two ways to get the input value.

Uncontrolled input - the only way to get the value is to use an onChange event.

import React, { useState } from "react";
import { MDBInput } from "mdb-react-ui-kit";

function App() {
  return <MDBInput onChange={(e) => console.log(e.target.value)} />;
}

export default App;

Controlled input - you can use an useState hook to achieve that.

import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
import { MDBInput } from 'mdb-react-ui-kit';

function App() {
  const [inputValue, setInputValue] = useState('');

  useEffect(() => {
    console.log(inputValue);
  }, [inputValue]);

  return (
    <MDBInput value={inputValue} onChange={(e) => setInputValue(e.target.value)} />
  );
}

export default App;

The getValue method is only used in the MDBSelect component due to its complicated structure.

Keep coding!
