<input type="radio" name="foo" value="b" onChange={handleChange} />

<select onChange={e => {
  getValue(e);

#getCheckboxGroupValue(e, values, options)

import {getCheckboxGroupValue} from 'react-onchange-value';
 
const checkboxGroupValue = ['b'] // or {b: true};
const handleChange = e => {
  getCheckboxGroupValue(e, checkboxGroupValue);
  // value examples if array given:
  // => ['a', 'b']
  // => []
  // value examples if object given:
  // => {b: true, a: true}
  // => {} (if deleteFalsy=true)
  // => {b: false}
  // => {c: true} (if deleteFalsy=true)
