Usage
It is recommended to check out the documentation site for a better example, but here's a simple one that you should really not copy:
import { useState } from "react";
import { render } from "react-dom";
import { Button } from "@react-md/button";
import { Form, TextField, Password, useChecked } from "@react-md/form";
import { EmailSVGIcon, PasswordSVGIcon } from "@react-md/material-icons";
const App = () => {
const [email, setEmail] = useState("");
const [password, setPassword] = useState("");
const [rememberMe, setRememberMe] = useChecked(false);
const [errors, setErrors] = useState<readonly string[]>([]);
const handleSubmit = async () => {
const response = await fetch("/login", {
method: "POST",
headers: {
Accept: "application/json",
"Content-Type": "application/json",
},
body: JSON.stringify({ email, password }),
});
const json = await response.json();
if (json.errors) {
setErrors(errors);
} else {
// do something
}
};
return (
<Form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
<FormMessage id="errors" role="alert" error disableWrap>
{errors.length && (
<ul>
{errors.map((error) => (
<li key={error}>{error}</li>
))}
</ul>
)}
</FormMessage>
<TextField
aria-describedby="errors"
id="email"
label="Email"
type="email"
name="email"
value={email}
onChange={(event) => setEmail(event.currentTarget.value)}
required
leftAddon={<EmailSVGIcon />}
/>
<Password
aria-describedby="errors"
id="password"
label="Password"
name="password"
value={password}
onChange={(event) => setPassword(event.currentTarget.value)}
required
leftAddon={<PasswordSVGIcon />}
