Summary

This PR fixes how <input> elements handle value and defaultValue when they are provided as a Symbol or function. Previously, these values were incorrectly rendered as null or other unintended values. Now, they are consistently treated as empty strings (""), aligning with expected HTML behavior.

Changes

  • Added guards in updateInput and initInput functions within ReactDOMInput.js to convert Symbol and function values to "".
  • Ensured correct attribute synchronization by avoiding invalid value assignments.
  • Updated the logic to match the behavior tested in ReactDOMInput-test.js.

Why

This fix resolves inconsistencies between React's internal input handling and browser behavior. It also ensures that controlled and uncontrolled inputs remain predictable when receiving unexpected value types.

Testing

  • Verified all related tests in packages/react-dom/src/__tests__/ReactDOMInput-test.js pass.
  • Ran yarn test ReactDOMInput with all 124 tests passing.
