yarn add react-final-form final-form

Getting Started

🏁 React Final Form is a thin React wrapper for 🏁 Final Form, which is a subscriptions-based form state management library that uses the Observer pattern, so only the components that need updating are re-rendered as the form's state changes. By default, 🏁 React Final Form subscribes to all changes, but if you want to fine tune your form to optimized blazing-fast perfection, you may specify only the form state that you care about for rendering your gorgeous UI.

You can think of it a little like GraphQL's feature of only fetching the data your component needs to render, and nothing else.

Here's what it looks like in your code:

import { Form, Field } from 'react-final-form'

const MyForm = () => (
  <Form
    onSubmit={onSubmit}
    validate={validate}
    render={({ handleSubmit, pristine, invalid }) => (
      <form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
        <h2>Simple Default Input</h2>
        <div>
          <label>First Name</label>
          <Field name="firstName" component="input" placeholder="First Name" />
        </div>

        <h2>An Arbitrary Reusable Input Component</h2>
        <div>
          <label>Interests</label>
          <Field name="interests" component={InterestPicker} />
        </div>

        <h2>Render Function</h2>
        <Field
          name="bio"
          render={({ input, meta }) => (
            <div>
              <label>Bio</label>
              <textarea {...input} />
              {meta.touched && meta.error && <span>{meta.error}</span>}
            </div>
          )}
        />

        <h2>Render Function as Children</h2>
        <Field name="phone">
          {({ input, meta }) => (
            <div>
              <label>Phone</label>
              <input type="text" {...input} placeholder="Phone" />
              {meta.touched && meta.error && <span>{meta.error}</span>}
            </div>
          )}
        </Field>

        <button type="submit" disabled={pristine || invalid}>
          Submit
        </button>
      </form>
    )}
  />
)

Helper Libraries

Define Form and React Define Form

Define Form offers alternative typescript bindings for 🏁 Final Form. The key difference is that the form data is now a strongly typed object, rather than an any. This makes the initialValues config option required.

🏁 React Final Form HTML5 Validation

A swap-in replacement for 🏁 React Final Form's <Field> component to provide HTML5 Validation.

Final Form Material UI

A set of adaptor components to facilitate using Material-UI with 🏁 React Final Form.

Examples

Simple Example

Uses the built-in React inputs: input, select, and textarea to build a form with no validation.

Synchronous Record-Level Validation

Introduces a whole-record validation function and demonstrates how to display errors next to fields using child render functions.

Synchronous Field-Level Validation

Introduces field-level validation functions and demonstrates how to display errors next to fields using child render functions.

Synchronous Record-Level Validation (with delayed error render)

Sometimes you want to give your user a chance to make it through a brief invalid value on their way to a valid one, e.g. a date string that needs two numbers on either side of a slash. With a simple delayed rendering component, this becomes easy. Plus, the error will disappear immediately when the user fixes the problem.

Asynchronous Field-Level Validation

Demonstrates how field-level validation rules may be asynchronous (return a Promise), as well as how to show a "validating" spinner during the lifetime of the Promise.

Hybrid Synchronous/Asynchronous Record-Level Validation

Demonstrates how you can mix synchronous and asynchronous validation patterns at the record-level, by returning errors synchronously, and falling back to an asynchronous call (by returning a Promise) if sync validation is passing.

Submission Errors

Demonstrates how to return submission errors from failed submits. Notice that the Promise should resolve to the submission error (not reject). Rejection is reserved for communications or server exceptions.

Third Party Components

Demonstrates how easy it is to use third party input components. All the third party component really needs is value and onChange, but more complex components can accept things like errors.

Material-UI 3.0

Demonstrates how to use Material-UI 3.0 input components.

💥 Performance Optimization Through Subscriptions 💥

Demonstrates how, by restricting which parts of form state the form component needs to render, it reduces the number of times the whole form has to rerender. Yet, if some part of form state is needed inside of it, the FormSpy component can be used to attain it.

Independent Error Component

Demonstrates how to make an independent Error component to subscribe to and display the error for any form field.

Loading and Initializing Values

Demonstrates how a form can be initialized, after fetching data, by passing in initialValues as a prop.

Field Arrays

Demostrates how to use the <FieldArray/> component, from react-final-form-arrays, to render an array of inputs, as well as use push, pop, and remove mutations.

Fields Component

Wondering how to get field state from multiple fields at once?

People coming from Redux-Form might be wondering where the equivalent of Redux Form's Fields component is, as a way to get state from several fields at once. The answer is that it's not included in the library because it's so easy to write one recursively composing Field components together.

Calculated Fields

Demonstrates how to use the final-form-calculate decorator to achieve realtime field calculations through easily defined rules.

Field Warnings

Demonstrates how the power of subscriptions and mutators can be used to build a warning engine: logic to display a message next to each field that is not an error (thus it does not prevent form submission).

Reusable Field Groups

Demonstrates how fields can be grouped into reusable components.

External Submit

Demonstrates how you can use document.getElementById() or a closure to trigger a submit from outside of the form. For more information, see How can I trigger a submit from outside the form?

Wizard Form

Demonstrates how to use 🏁 React Final Form to create a multi-page "wizard" form, with validation on each page.

Parse and Format (and Normalize)

Demonstrates how to use 🏁 React Final Form's parse and format props to control exactly how the data flows from the form state through the input and back to the form state. Notice that you can use parse to "normalize" your values.

Auto-Save with Debounce

Demonstrates how to use a FormSpy component to listen for value changes and automatically submit different values after a debounce period.

Auto-Save with Selective Debounce

Demonstrates how to use a FormSpy component to listen for value changes and automatically submit different values after a debounce period, but only does the debounce for certain specified fields, in this case, all the text fields.

Auto-Save on Field Blur

Demonstrates how to use a FormSpy component to listen for values and active field changes to automatically submit values when fields are blurred.

Custom Validation Engine

Demonstrates how incredibly extensible FormSpy, the setFieldData mutator, and render props are by implementing a custom validation engine completely apart from the built-in validation in 🏁 Final Form, thus allowing for special behaviors, like only validating a single field when that field is blurred.

Loading, Normalizing, Saving, and Reinitializing

Demonstrates how to make a wrapper component to handle loading, normalization of data, saving, and reinitializing of the form, to maintain pristine/dirty state with saved data.

🏎️ Downshift Type-Ahead

Demonstrates how to use a 🏎️ Downshift type-ahead component as an input.

Redux Example

The only reason to keep your 🏁 Final Form form data in Redux is if you need to be able to read it from outside your form. This example demonstrates how to use a FormSpy to keep a copy of your form data in the Redux store. Note that the canonical authoritative version of the data still lives in 🏁 Final Form. If you need to mutate your data via dispatching Redux actions, you should probably use Redux Form.

Conditional Fields

Sometimes you might want to conditionally show or hide some parts of your form depending on values the user has already provided for other form inputs. 🏁 React Final Form makes that very easy to do by creating a Condition component out of a Field component.

Listening for External Changes

By wrapping a stateful ExternalModificationDetector component in a Field component, we can listen for changes to a field's value, and by knowing whether or not the field is active, deduce when a field's value changes due to external influences.

Focus On First Error

Demonstrates how to incorporate the 🏁 Final Form Focus 🧐 decorator to provide this functionality out of the box.

Credit Card Example

Demonstrates how to make an awesome credit card UX using React Credit Cards.

Async Redux Submission

Want to use redux-saga or redux-observable to manage your form submissions? Now you can, using react-redux-promise-listener to convert your dispatched Redux actions into the Promise that 🏁 React Final Form is expecting for its onSubmit function.

Declarative Form Rules

What if you could define rules to update fields when other fields change as components? This example explores such possibilities. There's also a Medium post about writing it, and creating a companion library, react-final-form-listeners.

Format String By Pattern

Demonstrates how to use the library format-string-by-pattern to create input masks for your 🏁 React Final Form fields.

AsyncTypeahead and Redux

Demonstrates creating an AsyncTypeahead to select github users, while storing the search results in the redux store and the form state (selected github users) via react-final-form. Also makes use of the setFieldData mutator.

Format On Blur

Demonstrates how to use the formatOnBlur prop to postpone the formatting of a form field value until the field loses focus. Very useful for formatting numbers, like currencies.

Styling with 🍭 Smooth-UI

Demonstrates how to use the Smooth-UI styling library to make your forms look fabulous! All you really need is a higher order component that adapts The 🍭 Smooth-UI form controls to work with 🏁 React Final Form.

Rendering

There are three ways to tell <Form/> and <Field/> what to render:

| Method | How it is rendered | | ------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- | | component prop | return React.createElement(this.props.component, props) | | render prop | return this.props.render(props) | | a render function as children | return this.props.children(props) |

API

The following can be imported from react-final-form.

`Field : React.ComponentType<FieldProps>`

A component that takes FieldProps and renders an individual field.

`Form : React.ComponentType<FormProps>`

A component that takes FormProps and surrounds your entire form.

`FormSpy : React.ComponentType<FormSpyProps>`

A component that takes FormSpyProps and can listen to form state from inside an optimized <Form/>.

`version: string`

The current used version of 🏁 React Final Form.

Types

`FieldProps`

These are props that you pass to <Field/>. You must provide one of the ways to render: component, render, or children.

`allowNull?: boolean`

By default, if your value is null, <Field/> will convert it to '', to ensure controlled inputs. But if you pass true to allowNull, <Field/> will give you a null value. Defaults to false.

`children?: ((props: FieldRenderProps) => React.Node) | React.Node`

A render function that is given FieldRenderProps, as well as any non-API props passed into the <Field/> component.

`component?: React.ComponentType<FieldRenderProps> | string`

A component that is given FieldRenderProps as props, children and render props, as well as any non-API props passed into the <Field/> component.

`defaultValue?: any`

⚠️ You probably want initialValue! ⚠️

Before using this prop, read and understand the 🏁 Final Form documentation on initialValue and defaultValue!

`format?: ((value: any, name: string) => any) | null`

A function that takes the value from the form values and the name of the field and formats the value to give to the input. Common use cases include converting javascript Date values into a localized date string. Almost always used in conjunction with parse.

Note: If you pass null to format, it will override the default behavior of converting undefined into ''. If you do this, making sure your inputs are "controlled" is up to you.

`formatOnBlur?: boolean`

If true, the format function will only be called when the field is blurred. If false, format will be called on every render. Defaults to false.

`initialValue?: any`

[See the 🏁 Final Form docs on initialValue](https://github.com/final-form/final-form# #initialvalue-any)

`isEqual?: (a: any, b: any) => boolean`

See the 🏁 Final Form docs on isEqual.

`name: string`

The name of your field. Field values may be deeply nested using dot-and-bracket syntax. Learn more about Field Names.

`parse?: ((value: any, name: string) => any) | null`

A function that takes the value from the input and name of the field and converts the value into the value you want stored as this field's value in the form. Common usecases include converting strings into Numbers or parsing localized dates into actual javascript Date objects. Almost always used in conjuction with format.

Note: If you pass null to parse, it will override the default behavior of converting '' into undefined, thus allowing you to have form values of ''.

`render?: (props: FieldRenderProps) => React.Node`

A render function that is given FieldRenderProps, children prop, as well as any non-API props passed into the <Field/> component.

`subscription?: FieldSubscription`

A FieldSubscription that selects all of the items of FieldState that you wish to update for. If you don't pass a subscription prop, it defaults to all of FieldState.

`validate?: (value: ?any, allValues: Object, meta: ?FieldState) => ?any`

A function that takes the field value, all the values of the form and the meta data about the field and returns an error if the value is invalid, or undefined if the value is valid.

`validateFields?: string[]`

See the 🏁 Final Form docs on validateFields.

`value?: any`

This is only used for checkboxes and radio buttons!

Radio Buttons: The value of the radio button. The radio button will render as checked if and only if the value given here === the value for the field in the form.
Checkboxes:
- value is specified: the checkbox will be checked if the value given in value is contained in the array that is the value for the field for the form. Checking the box will add the value to the array, and unchecking the checkbox will remove the value from the array.
- no value is specified: the checkbox will be checked if the value is truthy. Checking the box will set the value to true, and unchecking the checkbox will set the value to false.

`FieldRenderProps`

These are the props that <Field/> provides to your render function or component. This object separates out the values and event handlers intended to be given to the input component from the meta data about the field. The input can be destructured directly into an <input/> like so: <input {...props.input}/>. Keep in mind that the values in meta are dependent on you having subscribed to them with the subscription prop

`input.name: string`

The name of the field.

`input.onBlur: (?SyntheticFocusEvent<*>) => void`

The onBlur function can take a SyntheticFocusEvent like it would if you had given it directly to an <input/> component, but you can also just call it: props.input.onBlur() to mark the field as blurred (inactive).

`input.onChange: (SyntheticInputEvent<*> | any) => void`

The onChange function can take a SyntheticInputEvent like it would if you had given it directly to an <input/> component (in which case it will read the value out of event.target.value), but you can also just call it: props.input.onChange(value) to update the value of the field.

`input.onFocus: (?SyntheticFocusEvent<*>) => void`

The onFocus function can take a SyntheticFocusEvent like it would if you had given it directly to an <input/> component, but you can also just call it: props.input.onFocus() to mark the field as focused (active).

`input.value: any`

The current value of the field.

`FormProps`

These are the props that you pass to <Form/>. You must provide one of the ways to render: component, render, or children.

`children?: ((props: FormRenderProps) => React.Node) | React.Node`

A render function that is given FormRenderProps, as well as any non-API props passed into the <Form/> component.

`component?: React.ComponentType<FormRenderProps>`

A component that is given FormRenderProps as props, as well as any non-API props passed into the <Form/> component.

`debug?: DebugFunction`

See the 🏁 Final Form docs on debug.

`decorators?: Decorator[]`

Decorators to apply to the form.

`initialValues?: Object`

See the 🏁 Final Form docs on initialValues.

`initialValuesEqual?: (?Object, ?Object) => boolean`

A predicate to determine whether or not the initialValues prop has changed. Useful for passing in a "deep equals" function if you need to. Defaults to "shallow equals".

`keepDirtyOnReinitialize?: boolean`

See the 🏁 Final Form docs on keepDirtyOnReinitialize.

`mutators?: { [string]: Mutator }`

See the 🏁 Final Form docs on mutators.

`onSubmit: (values: Object, form: FormApi, callback: ?(errors: ?Object) => void) => ?Object | Promise<?Object> | void`

See the 🏁 Final Form docs on onSubmit.

`render?: (props: FormRenderProps) => React.Node`

A render function that is given FormRenderProps, as well as any non-API props passed into the <Form/> component.

`subscription?: FormSubscription`

A FormSubscription that selects all of the items of FormState that you wish to update for. If you don't pass a subscription prop, it defaults to all of FormState.

`validate?: (values: Object) => Object | Promise<Object>`

See the 🏁 Final Form docs on validate.

`validateOnBlur?: boolean`

See the 🏁 Final Form docs on validateOnBlur.

`FormRenderProps`

These are the props that <Form/> provides to your render function or component. Keep in mind that the values you receive here are dependent upon which values of FormState you have subscribed to with the subscription prop. This object contains everything in 🏁 Final Form's FormState as well as:

`batch: (fn: () => void) => void)`

[DEPRECATED] Use form.batch() instead

A function that allows batch updates to be done to the form state. See the 🏁 Final Form docs on batch.

`FormSpyProps`

These are the props that you pass to <FormSpy/>. You must provide one of the ways to render: component, render, or children.

`children?: ((props: FormSpyRenderProps) => React.Node) | React.Node`

A render function that is given FormSpyRenderProps, as well as any non-API props passed into the <FormSpy/> component. Will not be called if an onChange prop is provided.

`component?: React.ComponentType<FormSpyRenderProps>`

A component that is given FormSpyRenderProps as props, as well as any non-API props passed into the <FormSpy/> component. Will not be called if an onChange prop is provided.

`onChange?: (formState: FormState) => void`

A change listener that will be called with form state whenever the form state, as subscribed to by the subscription prop, has changed. When an onChange prop is provided, the <FormSpy/> will not render anything.

`render?: (props: FormSpyRenderProps) => React.Node`

A render function that is given FormSpyRenderProps, as well as any non-API props passed into the <FormSpy/> component. Will not be called if an onChange prop is provided.
