🚀 Quickstart

import ReactDOM from 'react-dom'
import { useForm } from 'formhero'

const Form = () => {

  const { auto, form } = useForm({
    username: '',
    password: '',
  })

  const _submit = (e: React.FormEvent) => {
    e.preventDefault()
    console.log(form)
  }

  return (
    <div>
      <form onSubmit={_submit}>
        
        <input {...auto('username')} />
        <input {...auto('password')} />

        <button type="submit">Go 🚀</button>
      </form>
    </div>
  )
}

🔥 Examples

Validation

const Form = () => {

	const { auto, form, errors } = useForm({
		username: '',
		email: '',
		password: ''
	}, {
		username: value => value.length > 3,
		email: {
			validator: /@/,
			message: 'Must contain an @',
		},
		password: [
			{
				validator: /[A-Z]/,
				message: 'Must contain an uppercase letter'
			},
			{
				validator: /[\d]/,
				message: 'Must contain a digit'
			},
		]
	})

	return (
		<form>

			<h1>Errors & Validation</h1>

			<input {...auto('username')} placeholder="Username" />
			{errors.username && 'Must be longer than 3'}

			<input {...auto('email')} placeholder="EMail" />
			{errors.email}

			<input {...auto('password')} placeholder="Password" type="password" />
			{errors.password}

		</form>
	)
}

Easy Customization

Often it happens that you use a specific input or framework, so the default getter, setter and extractor for the event won't cut it. No worries: formhero got you covered!

const Form = () => {

	const { auto, form, errors } = useForm({
		awesome: true,
	})

	return (
		<form onSubmit={e => {
			e.preventDefault()
			console.log(form)
		}}>

			<h1>Custom</h1>

			<label>
				<input type="checkbox" {...auto('awesome', {
					setter: 'checked',
					getter: 'onChange',
					extractor: (e) => e.target.checked
				})} />
				Is it awesome?
        	</label>

			<input type="submit" />

		</form>
	)
}

📖 Docs

useForm

const {auto, errors, update, form, isValid} = useForm(initial, validators, options)

Initial

This is the base state of the form. Also the typescript types are inhered by this.

Example

const initial = {
  username: 'defaultValue',
  password: '',
  rememberMe: true,
}

Validators

A validator is an object that taked in either a RegExp or a Function (can be async). Optionally you can pass a message string that will be displayed instead of the default one.

Example: Regular Expression

const validators = {
  // Only contains letters. 
  // This could also be a (also async) function that returns a boolean.
  username: /^[A-z]*$/,
}

Example: Function

const validators = {
  username: (value: string) => value.lenght > 3,
}

Example: With Object

const validators = {
  username: {
    validator: /^[A-z]*$/,
    message: 'My custom error message',
  }
}
