Using Formik Autosuggest component about formik HOT 6 CLOSED

I updated the example and fixed a typo related to handleBlur. Thanks for catching it.

Build a controlled component that wraps your autosuggest library, accepts a value, and calls Formik's handleChangeValue. You should wind up with a component that you invoke like this in your Formik render:

<label>My Field Name</label>
<MyAutosuggest id="fieldname" value={values.fieldname} onChange={handleChangeValue} />

Thanks. I am using this component https://github.com/moroshko/react-autosuggest copied all what is said under 'Basic Usage' and wrapped into a component called AutoSuggest and use as below, location (values.location) field is required.

<AutoSuggest
            value={values.location}
            onChange={handleChangeValue}
            placeholder='Suburb/Postcode'
            handleSelect={this.handleAutoSelectCallback}
  />

I am unsure how to use handleChangeValue and how to hook it up with AutoSuggest, is this in Formik object along with mapPropsToValues, mapValuesToPayload etc.?

Even after filling the value from autosuggest, Formik still renders this field as required.

You can see an example of this approach in the Working with 3rd party input components demo. It uses react-select, but the approach to using a custom change handler and handleChangeValue is identical.

@pradok I am actually going to be working on a formik x react-autosuggest component today for work. will make another example when i am done.

@jaredpalmer Thanks! The 3rd party example doesn't validate the form after doing touch on color field even selecting at least one color. If I don't touch that field at all after initial load, then it works as expected.
It would be a shame if I have to discard Formik due this last niggle, otherwise it is a great plugin, better than Formsy and leaner.

@jaredpalmer That was awesome! Thanks for your quick response. Wish I had asked sooner.
