Say hello to the best react form library you have ever used! Informed is an extensive, simple, and efficient solution for creating basic to complex forms in react. Out of the box you get the ability to grab and manipulate values, validate fields, create custom inputs, and much much more!!!
Oh and YES WE USE HOOKS!!
npm install --save informed
import { Form, Text } from 'informed';
<Form>
<label>
First name:
<Text field="name"/>
</label>
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</Form>;import { Form, Text } from 'informed';
const validate = value => {
return !value || value.length < 5
? 'Field must be at least five characters'
: undefined;
};
<Form>
<label>
First name:
<Text field="name" validate={validate}/>
</label>
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</Form>;import { Form, Text, Option, Select, Checkbox, Scope, TextArea, RadioGroup, Radio } from 'informed';
<Form>
<label>First name:<Text field="name"/></label>
<Scope scope="favorite">
<label>Favorite color:<Text field="color"/></label>
<label>Favorite food:<Text field="food"/></label>
</Scope>
<label>Friend 1:<Text field="friends[0]" /></label>
<label>Friend 2:<Text field="friends[1]" /></label>
<label>Friend 3:<Text field="friends[2]" /></label>
<label>Bio:<TextArea field="bio"/></label>
<RadioGroup field="gender">
<label>Male <Radio value="male"/></label>
<label>Female <Radio value="female"/></label>
</RadioGroup>
<label>

<Option value="" disabled>
Select One...
</Option>
<Option value="single">Single</Option>
<Option value="relationship">Relationship</Option>
<Option value="complicated">Complicated</Option>
</Select>
</label>
<label>
Colors:
<Select
field="colors"
multiple
>
<Option value="red">Red</Option>
<Option value="green">Green</Option>
<Option value="blue">Blue</Option>
<Option value="yellow">Yellow</Option>
<Option value="orange">Orange</Option>
<Option value="purple">Purple</Option>
</Select>
</label>
<label>Authorize: <Checkbox field="authorize"/></label>
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</Form>import { Form, Text, useFormState } from 'informed';
const ComponentUsingFormState = () => {
const formState = useFormState();
return (
<pre>
<code>{JSON.stringify(formState, null, 2)}</code>
</pre>
);
};
<Form>
<label>Name:<Text field="name" /></label>
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
<h5>Component using formState:</h5>
<ComponentUsingFormState />
</Form>import { Form, Text, useFormApi } from 'informed';
const ComponentUsingFormApi = () => {
const formApi = useFormApi();
return (
<button type="button" onClick={()=>
formApi.setValue(
'name',
Math.floor(Math.random() * Math.floor(Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER)))}>
Random
</button>
);
};
<Form>
<div>
<label>Name:<Text field="name"/></label>
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
<h5>Component using formApi:</h5>
<ComponentUsingFormApi />
</div>
</Form>import { Form, BasicText, asField } from 'informed';
const validate = value => {
return !value || value.length < 5
? 'Field must be at least five characters'
: undefined;
};
const ErrorText = asField(({ fieldState, ...props }) => (
<React.Fragment>
<BasicText
fieldState={fieldState}
{...props}
style={fieldState.error ? { border: 'solid 1px red' } : null}
/>
{fieldState.error ? (
<small style={{ color: 'red' }}>{fieldState.error}</small>
) : null}
</React.Fragment>
));
<Form>
<label>
First name:
<ErrorText
field="name"
validate={validate}
validateOnChange
validateOnBlur
/>
</label>
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</Form>;import { Form, Text, RadioGroup, Radio } from 'informed';
<Form>
{({ formState }) => (
<React.Fragment>
<label>First name:<Text field="name"/></label>
<label>Are you married?</label>
<RadioGroup field="married">
<label>Yes <Radio value="yes"/></label>
<label>No <Radio value="no"/></label>
</RadioGroup>
{formState.values.married === 'yes' ? (
<label >Spouse name:<Text field="spouse" /></label>
) : null}
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</React.Fragment>
)}
</Form>WARNING: writing this in the above way is fine, it works they way we expect and gets us what we need... BUT! There is a better way!
import { Form, Text, RadioGroup, Radio, useFieldState } from 'informed';
const Spouse = () => {
const { value: married } = useFieldState('married');
return married === 'yes' ? <label >Spouse name:<Text field="spouse" /></label> : null;
};
<Form>
<label>First name:<Text field="name"/></label>
<label>Are you married?</label>
<RadioGroup field="married">
<label>Yes <Radio value="yes"/></label>
<label>No <Radio value="no"/></label>
</RadioGroup>
<Spouse />
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</Form>Writing code the second way can typically save excess rendering! And, it looks much cleaner.
import { Form, Text, ArrayField } from 'informed';
const DynamicArrays = () => {
return (
<div>
<Form>
<ArrayField field="sibling">
{({ add, fields }) => (
<>
<button onClick={add} type="button">
Add Sibling
</button>
{fields.map(({ field, key, remove }, i) => (
<label htmlFor={i} key={key}>
Sibling {i}:
<Text field={field} id={i} />
<button type="button" onClick={remove}>
Remove
</button>
</label>
))}
</>
)}
</ArrayField>
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
<FormState />
</Form>
</div>
);
};
