Forms

Example

import {
  Form,
  isEmail,
  required,
  rules,
  useFormField,
} from "@crossroads-loyalty-solutions/formaggio";

const TextInput = ({ name }) => {
  const { dirty, errors, submitted, inputProps } = useFormField(name);
  const className = (dirty || submitted) && errors.length ?
    "form__text-input form__text-input--error" :
    "form__text-input";

  return <input type="text" className={className} {...inputProps} />;
};

const validateMyForm = rules([
  required("name"),
  required("email"),
  isEmail("email")
]);

const MyForm = () => {
  const [data, setData] = useState({});
  const errors = validateMyForm(data);

  return (
    <Form
      noValidate
      name="my-form"
      value={data}
      onChange={setData}
      onSubmit={console.log}
    >
      <TextInput name="name" />
      <TextInput name="email" />

      <button type="submit">Submit</button>
    </Form>
  );
};

useFormField hook

The library provided React Hook useFormField is used to provide access to the state for the given field name which include:

• dirty: boolean: True if the user has modified this field.
• submitted: boolean: True if the user has tried to submit the form.
• errors: Array<ValidationError>: List of errors which apply to this field.
• inputProps: Object: Properties to apply to the <input /> element.

The inputProps object contains id, name, value and an onChange callback, the idea is to spread the properties into an <input />.

Form component

The <Form /> component provides the form state to any nested uses of useFormField. It will wrap all its children in a <form /> tag.

Properties:

• errors?: Array<ValidationErrors>: Any validation errors for this form.
• name?: string: This string will prefix any name and id properties in nested uses of useFormField.
• onChange: (FormData) => void: Callback for when the form data changes, these changes are performed immutably.
• onError?: (SyntheticEvent<HTMLFormElement>, Array<ValidationError>, FormData) => void: Callback fired instead of onSubmit if there is an error in the form when the user tries to submit the form.
• onSubmit: (SyntheticEvent<HTMLFormElement>, FormData) => void: Callback fired with the current form data when the user submits the form.
• value: FormData: The data for the form.

Any properties not listed above will be propagated to the <form /> element.

To properly handle validation and onChange events in nested <input /> elements it is recommended to set the property noValidate on <Form />.

Validation

Validation is done using functions which take a value to validate and return a list of errors. The validation functions are created using rule-constructors or combinators.

Example

import {
  conditional,
  isEmail,
  lengthGt,
  required,
  rules,
} from "@crossroads-loyalty-solutions/formaggio";

const validator = rules([
  isEmail("email"),
  required("firstname"), 
  required("lastname"),
  conditional(s => s.password, lengthGt("password", 6)),
]);

const data = {
  firstname: "foo",
  lastname: "bar",
  email: "foo@bar",
};

const errors = validator(data);

console.log(errors); // [{ error: "EMAIL", field: "email" }]

Rules

Validation rules are constructed in a declarative manner using rule constructors and rule combinators.

A basic validator has the following type, where T is the type to be validated:

type Validator<T> = (t: T) => Array<ValidationError>;

Errors

Errors are objects containing an error code and a field path. The field path is preserved through combinators and is used to determine which field caused the specific error. Additional properties are allowed but are error-specific.

type ValidationError = {
  error: string,
  field: string,
};
