Formact codecov

A zero dependency and design agnostic Form library for React.

Installation

In your terminal, add it to the project by running:

npm install --save formact

Usage

Creating fields

As formact is design agnostic, you'll need to create your own fields. You can it by using the hook useField in a function component.

This how a TextField would look like:
import { useField, FieldProps } from 'formact'

export default function TextField(props: FieldProps & { label: string }) {
  const field = useField<string>(props)

  return (
    <div
      style={{
        display: 'flex',
        flexDirection: 'column',
        alignItems: 'flex-start',
        margin: '5px 10px',
      }}>
      <div>
        <label htmlFor={props.name}>{props.label}</label>
      </div>
      <input
        // @ts-ignore
        data-testid={`field-${props.name}`}
        name={props.name}
        id={props.name}
        type={props.type}
        onBlur={(e) => {
          // call field.onBlur to make sure the field is dirty
          field.onBlur(e)
        }}
        // use field value
        value={field.fieldValue || ''}
        // update the field value
        onChange={(e) => field.update(e.target.value)}
        onKeyDown={(e) => {
          // Submit the form when pressing enter
          if (e.key === 'Enter') {
            field.submit()
          }
        }}
      />
      {field.showError ? (
        <div data-testid={`field-error-${props.name}`} style={{ color: 'red' }}>
          {field.errorMessage}
        </div>
      ) : null}
    </div>
  )
}
A submit button:
export default function SubmitButton() {
  const form = useForm()
  return (
    <button
      data-testid="submit-button"
      type="submit"
      disabled={!form.valid}
      onClick={form.submit}>
      {form.submitting ? 'Submitting...' : 'Submit'}
    </button>
  )
}

Using the fields

These fields become really powerful when wrapped in a Form component.

import Form from "formact"

<Form onChange=(console.log) onSubmit={console.log}>
  <TextField name="country" />
  <SubmitButton />
</Form>
