Redux Form + React SemanticUI Bindings
==============
Multiple helper components binding redux-form and semantic-ui-react together for standardized error handling.
npm install --save redux-form
npm install --save semantic-ui-react
npm install --save @panderalabs/redux-form-semantic
Why do I need this?
Redux Form is an excellent library for managing complex form state in the UI. Semantic UI React is a great library of UI Components (including form components). To make Redux Form work with the components, a certain amount of boilerplate is required to hook up your components to Redux-Form. In some cases, that boilerplate includes having to call events on the Semantic UI component when a change occurs in Redux-Form. This library helps remove that boilerplate and makes it easier to connect your error messaging with your form elements.
How do I use it?
Installation
Install via npm:
npm install --save redux-form
npm install --save semantic-ui-react
npm install --save @panderalabs/redux-form-semantic
Hook up redux-form middleware
Hook up your form to redux-form:
import { createStore, combineReducers } from 'redux'
import { reducer as formReducer } from 'redux-form'
const rootReducer = combineReducers({
// ...your other reducers here
// you have to pass formReducer under 'form' key,
// for custom keys look up the docs for 'getFormState'
form: formReducer
})
const store = createStore(rootReducer)
Wrap a Semantic-UI form with Redux-Form
Create a new Semantic UI form & wrap it in redux-form:
import React from 'react'
import { Field, reduxForm } from 'redux-form'
import { Form } from 'semantic-ui-react';
const ContactForm = props => {
const { handleSubmit } = props
return (
<Form onSubmit={ handleSubmit }>
{ /* form body*/ }
</Form>
)
}
ContactForm = reduxForm({
// a unique name for the form
form: 'contact'
})(ContactForm)
export default ContactForm;
Add Form Components
import React from 'react'
import { Field, reduxForm } from 'redux-form'
import { Form, Button } from 'semantic-ui-react';
import { TextField } from '@panderalabs/redux-form-semantic'
const ContactForm = props => {
const { handleSubmit } = props
return (
<Form onSubmit={ handleSubmit }>
<Form.Field>
<TextField
name="firstName"
label="First Name"
placeholder="Enter First Name"
/>
</Form.Field>
<Form.Field>
<TextField
name="lastName"
label="Last Name"
placeholder="Enter Last Name"
/>
</Form.Field>
<Button>Save</Button>
</Form>
)
}
export default reduxForm({
// a unique name for the form
form: 'contact'
})(ContactForm)
Validate some fields
import React from 'react'
import { Field, reduxForm } from 'redux-form'
import { Form, Button } from 'semantic-ui-react';
import { TextField } from '@panderalabs/redux-form-semantic'
const ContactForm = props => {
const { handleSubmit } = props
return (
<Form onSubmit={ handleSubmit }>
<Form.Field>
<TextField
name="firstName"
label="First Name"
placeholder="Enter First Name"
/>
</Form.Field>
<Form.Field>
<TextField
name="lastName"
label="Last Name"
placeholder="Enter Last Name"
/>
</Form.Field>
<Button>Save</Button>
</Form>
)
}
const Validator = values => ({
firstName: (!values.firstName || !values.firstName) && 'Required',
lastName: (!values.lastName || !values.lastName) && 'Required',
});
export default reduxForm({
// a unique name for the form
form: 'contact',
validate: validator,
})(ContactForm)
Implemented Components
Fields are a combination of label, input, error.
#Demo
Error Props
To manage how your errors look we have access to a few props
errorPositon: left | right | bottom | top
errorStyles: ['basic', 'pointer']
errorColor: any semantic color
Example TextField
import { TextField } from '@panderalabs/redux-form-semantic'
<Form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
<TextField
name="firstName"
label="First Name"
placeholder="Enter your first name"
/>
</Form>
Example TextAreaField
import { TextAreaField } from '@panderalabs/redux-form-semantic'
<Form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
<TextAreaField
name="description"
label="description"
placeholder="Describe your issue."
/>
<Form>
Example SelectField
import { SelectField } from '@panderalabs/redux-form-semantic'
<Form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
<SelectField
name="vehicle"
label="Vehicle"
placeholder="Select your vehicle"
options=[
{key: '1', value: 'ford', text: 'Ford'},
{key: '2', value: 'dodge', text: 'Dodge'},
]
/>
<Form>
