Demo

If you want to try out a little demo first, you can check it out here or try it yourself:

git clone git@github.com:Bynder/react-formulation.git
cd react-formulation
npm install
npm start

Usage

React formulation offers two types of forms. The first one is a high order component for larger forms, the second one is a component for a form with just one input field and a submit and cancel button.

HOC

If you have a larger form you'll use the High order component:

import { withValidation, Validator } from '@bynder/react-formulation';
 
@withValidation({
    validateOn: 'change', // optional, default value is 'blur'
    schema: {
        firstname: {
            required: true,
        },
        lastname: {
            minLength: 2,
            maxLength: 30,
        },
        // ...more validation rules
    }
})
class YourForm extends React.Component {
    componentWillMount() {
        this.props.setInitialModel({
        	firstname: 'Foo',
        	lastname: 'Bar',
        });
    }
 
    onSubmit() {
        // handle submit
    }
 
    render() {
        // Wrap your entire form in a <Validator.Form> component
        // Add a submit handler
        // Wrap every input in a <Validator> component
        // Provide a name to Validator (must match the name you provided in the schema)
        return (
            <Validator.Form onSubmit={this.onSubmit}>
                <Validator name="firstname">
                    <input />
                </Validator>
                <Validator name="lastname">
                    <input />
                </Validator>
                <button type="submit">Submit</submit>
            </Validator.Form>
        );
    }
}
 
export default YourForm;

Inline Form

For forms with just a single input you'll use the Inline Form component

import { InlineForm } from '@bynder/react-formulation';
 
// Wrap your input and buttons in an <InlineForm> component.
// Provide the name of your input, validation rules, initial value,
// and optionally custom messages to this component.
// Add an onSubmit handler.
// Wrap the input in a <InlineForm.Field> component.
const YourInlineForm = () => (
    <InlineForm
        name="firstname"
        initialValue="Foo"
        rules={{
            required: true,
            minLength: 2,
            maxLength: 30,
        }}
        messages={{
            // Custom validation messages
            required: 'Please don\'t leave me empty',
            minLength: condition => `Please use a minimum of ${condition} characters`,
        }}
        onSubmit={(val) => { // handle submit }}
    >
        <InlineForm.Field resetOnEscape>
            <label htmlFor="inlineform-name">Name</label>
            <input id="inlineform-name" />
        </InlineForm.Field>
        <InlineForm.Errors /> // (optional) This will display the error messages
        <InlineForm.Cancel> // (optional) This will reset your form when you click cancel
            <button type="button">
                Cancel
            </button>
        </InlineForm.Cancel>
        <InlineForm.Submit> // (optional) This disables the submit button if the field isn't valid
            <button type="submit">
                Save
            </button>
        </InlineForm.Submit>
);
 
export default YourInlineForm;

Advanced

The basic usage might not be enough for you. Luckily we added some advanced options.

Custom validation rules

Of course you can add your own validation rules to the schema. Here you can see an example of how that might work:

@withValidation({
    schema: {
        name: {
            required: true, // default validation
            mustNotContainSpecialCharacters: { // custom validation
                test: val => !(/[^a-zA-Z0-9]/).test(val),
                message: 'This field cannot contain special characters',
            },
        },
        // ...
    }
})
// ...

Custom error messages

In the example above you can see that it's possible to add custom validation rules and custom messages for those rules. You can also add custom messages for the default validation rules. You can use this option to add translations.

@withValidation({
    schema: {
        name: {
            required: true,
        },
        // ...
    },
    messages: {
        required: 'This field is required.',
    }
})
// ...

API

The following options are injected by the react-formulation high order component.
