4 things to notice
- your Textfield should be disabled in the beginning.
- you need to bind this to a callback function or use anonymous function
- since you use multiple fields you need an identifier
- onClick is not possible on disabled elements, but you could use onMouseOver
<!-- begin snippet: js hide: false console: true babel: true -->
<!-- language: lang-js -->
class MyComponent extends React.Component {
state = {
enabled: -1
}
handleMouseOver(id) {
this.setState({
enabled: id
});
}
render() {
let inputs = [];
for (let i=0; i<=20; i++) {
inputs.push({ id: i, placeholder: 'Input ' + i });
}
return (
<div>
{inputs.map((input) => {
return(
<input
disabled={this.state.enabled !== input.id}
type='text'
placeholder={input.placeholder}
onMouseOver={(e) => {
this.handleMouseOver(input.id);
}}
/>
);
})}
</div>
);
}
}
ReactDOM.render(
<MyComponent />,
document.getElementById('app')
);

That's *property spread notation*. It was added in ES2018, but long-supported in React projects via transpilation (as "JSX spread attributes" even though you could do it elsewhere, too, not just attributes).
`{...this.props}` *spreads out* the "own" properties in `props` as discrete properties on the `Modal` element you're creating. For instance, if `this.props` contained `a: 1` and `b: 2`, then
<Modal {...this.props} title='Modal heading' animation={false}>
would be the same as
<Modal a={this.props.a} b={this.props.b} title='Modal heading' animation={false}>
But it's dynamic, so whatever "own" properties are in `props` are included.
Since `children` is an "own" property in `props`, spread will include it. So if the component where this appears had child elements, they'll be passed on to `Modal`. Putting child elements between the opening tag and closing tags is just syntactic sugar — the good kind — for putting a `children` property in the opening tag. Example:
<!-- begin snippet: js hide: true console: true babel: true -->
<!-- language: lang-js -->
class Example extends React.Component {
render() {
const { className, children } = this.props;
return (
<div className={className}>
{children}
</div>
);
}
}
ReactDOM.render(
[
<Example className="first">
<span>Child in first</span>
</Example>,
<Example className="second" children={<span>Child in second</span>} />
],
document.getElementById("root")
);
<!-- language: lang-css -->
.first {
color: green;
}
.second {
color: blue;
}
<!-- language: lang-html -->
<div id="root"></div>

Spread notation is handy not only for that use case, but for creating a new object with most (or all) of the properties of an existing object — which comes up a lot when you're updating state, since you can't modify state directly:
this.setState(prevState => {
return {foo: {...prevState.foo, a: "updated"}};
});
That replaces `this.state.foo` with a new object with all the same properties as `foo` except the `a` property, which becomes `"updated"`:
<!-- begin snippet: js hide: true console: true babel: false -->
<!-- language: lang-js -->
const obj = {
foo: {
a: 1,
b: 2,
c: 3
}
};
console.log("original", obj.foo);
// Creates a NEW object and assigns it to `obj.foo`
obj.foo = {...obj.foo, a: "updated"};
console.log("updated", obj.foo);
