Provide a way to handle browser-autocompleted form values on controlled components

[ericflo]

When there's a controlled component for form names that the user has saved in their browser (common with username/password fields), the browser will sometimes render the page with values in those fields without firing onChange events. If the user submits the form, the component state does not reflect what is showing to the user.

In experimenting with this, it appears that the data is there on load (tested by logging this.refs.myinput.getDOMNode().value)

Any updates or suggested best practices on this one? The autofill event polyfill seems like a sledgehammer solution.

Safari (8) does dispatch change events on autofill, but they don't bubble so they don't reach the react handler.
