Reactoform v0.2

API |Examples| |--|--|

Introduction

Reactoform library deals with form creation and validation, while changing inputs, contrary to other approaches, when hitting 'Submit' button. Therefore, 'Submit' button stays disabled until all inputs were validated correctly.

Reactoform also does not expose inputs as other libraries do. Instead, it requires an array of objects, where each object is representing one single input with its options configured.

Reactoform library was made by Lorenzo Elenkov as that is his own solution to form creation.

Installation

npm install @lorenzoelenkov/reactoform

Quickstart

import { Form } from '@lorenzoelenkov/reactoform

const formInputs = [
    { 
	    label: 'Email',
	    type: 'text',
	    validation: {
		    email: true
	    }
    },
    {
	    label: 'Password',
	    type: 'password',
	    validation: {
		    pattern: { value: /[A-Z]+[a-z]+[0-9]+[!@#]+/, error: 'Password must contain one lowercase, one uppercase, one number and one special character' },
		    minLength: { value: 8, error: 'Password must be at least 8 characters' }
	    }
    }
]

const App = () => {
    return (
	    <div className="App">
		    <Form data={formInputs} onSubmit={value => console.log(value)}
	    </div>
    )
}

There are other types and options for inputs. You can checkout the API or Examples.

Styling

Currently, you can include customClass field in formInputs object for each input. With a customClass set, you can style your labels, inputs and error spans through:

• Vanilla CSS
• CSS Modules
• SASS/LESS

Other styling options will be integrated in the future, for reference look at the roadmap
