Getting the value of a input textbox in JavaScript

In this tutorial, we are going to learn about how to get the value of a input textbox using JavaScript.

Consider we have an HTML input field or textbox like this.

<input id="country" type="text" placeholder="Country">

Getting the input field value

To get the input field value, first we need to access it inside the JavaScript by using document.getElementById() method or document.querySelector() method.

const input = document.getElementById('country');

Now, it has a value property which is holding the data you typed inside the input field.

const value = input.value;
