Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Simple Form

For more detailed information you can take a look at the documentation

There are five (six) different components within this package. The <FieldWrapper /> component is only here for edge cases, e.g. working with third party components. So for this simple example we stick to these five:

import {
  Button,
  Field,
  Form,
  RadioGroup,
  Select,
} from 'react-form-package';

If you are familiar with writing HTML forms than you are all set up. There are no complex data props or functions that you have to call before you can set up a form and validate its input like in most other libraries. Why should you care about writing the validations for your form yourself? An email, a date, a url, and so on, will always have the same structure. react-form-package will not only help you by your forms state management, it also will help you validating your forms correctly.

Basic Usage

  • Every <Button>, <Field>, <RadioGroup>, and <Select> component must have an id property and a type property
  • <Select> components have <option> childs which must have a value property
  • <RadioGroup> components have <input> childs which must have an id property, type property, and name property
  • If you want the form to valitate inputs and show error messages simply add a validate prop on the <Form> component

In this example we use all components and types this library supports:

const myForm = (props) => (
<Form
  validate
>
  <div>
    <div>checkbox</div>
    <Field type="checkbox" id="checkbox" />
  </div>
  <div>
    <div>textarea</div>
    <Field rows="5" cols="30" type="textarea" id="textarea" />
  </div>
  <div>
    <div>date</div>
    <Field type="date" id="date" />
  </div>
  <div>
    <div>datetime-local</div>
    <Field type="datetime-local" id="datetime-local" />
  </div>
  <div>
    <div>email</div>
    <Field type="email" id="email" />
  </div>
  <div>
    <div>number</div>
    <Field type="number" id="number" />
  </div>
  <div>
    <div>tel</div>
    <Field type="tel" id="tel" />
  </div>
  <div>
    <div>text</div>
    <Field type="text" id="text" />
  </div>
  <div>
    <div>password</div>
    <Field type="password" id="password" />
  </div>
  <div>
    <div>time</div>
    <Field type="time" id="time" />
  </div>
  <div>
    <div>url</div>
    <Field type="url" id="url" />
  </div>
  <div>
    <div>select</div>
    <Select id="select" type="select">
      <option disabled value="">--- Choose an option ---</option>
      <option value="option1">option 1</option>
      <option value="option2">option 2</option>
      <option value="option3">option 3</option>
    </Select>
  </div>
  <div>
    <div>radio</div>
    <RadioGroup type="radio" id="radio">
      <input type="radio" name="radio" id="radio1" />
      radio 1
      <input type="radio" name="radio" id="radio2" />
      radio 2
      <input type="radio" name="radio" id="radio3" />
      radio 3
    </RadioGroup>
  </div>
  <div>
    <Button id="submit" type="submit" onClick={(state) => console.log(state)}>submit</Button>
  </div>
</Form>
);

Components

For more detailed information you can take a look at the documentation.

Form

This component is a wrapper for all the other components in this library. This component handles the global state for the form itself.

Basic Usage

For more detailed information you can take a look at the documentation

Render a table.

import { Form } from 'react-form-package';

const myForm = (props) => (
  <Form>
    {/*
      here comes your form
      mix HTML with other
      components from this
      library: e.g.
      <Button />
      <Field />
      <RadioGroup />
      <Select />
    */}
  </Form>
);

Props

Property | Type | Required | Default | Description ---|---|---|---|--- validate| Bool | false | | validateOnClick| Bool | false | If you want to show the errors of a form on the click of the button | input | Element | <input className="rfp-input" /> | | checkbox | Element | <input className="rfp-checkbox" /> | | radio | Element | <input className="rfp-radio-group" /> | | radioContainer | Element | <div className="rfp-radio-group-container" /> | | The Element that wraps the radio elements. button | Element | <button className="rfp-button" /> | | select | Element | <select className="rfp-select" /> | | textarea | Element | <textarea className="rfp-textarea" /> | | error | Element | <div className="rfp-error-label" /> | |

Button

This component has to be a child within the <Form /> component. This component gets the state from the <Form /> component and returns it on its onClick prop. If the <Form /> component has the validate prop set, the button will be disabled as long as the form is valid.

Basic Usage

For more detailed information you can take a look at the documentation

Render a <Form /> with a <Button /> component.

import {
  Form,
  Button,
} from 'react-form-package';

const myForm = (props) => (
<Form>
  <div>
    <Button
      id="submit"
      type="submit"
      onClick={state => alert(JSON.stringify(state, null, 2))}
      onMouseEnter={(e, state) => console.log(e, state)}
      onMouseLeave={(e, state) => console.log(e, state)}
    >
      Click me to see the state of the form
    </Button>
  </div>
</Form>
);

Props

Property | Type | Required | Default | Description ---|---|---|---|--- id | String | true | | type | String | true | | submit onClick | Func | false | | returns the state of the form onMouseEnter | Func | false | | returns the event and the state of the form onMouseLeave | Func | false | | returns the event and the state of the form (does not work on disabled buttons) rfpRole | String | false | | only needed for dynamically added fields, either addField or removeField fieldId | String | false | | only needed for dynamically added fields on a button with rfpRole removeField (the id of the field to remove) field | Object | false | | only needed for dynamically added fields on a button with rfpRole addField. This object holds at least id, type, and may hold min, max, required, match, sameAs

Field

This component has to be a child within the <Form /> component. This component handles its own state and on any state change it will report it to the <Form /> component which validates the whole form.

Basic Usage

For more detailed information you can take a look at the documentation

Render a <Form /> with an email <Field /> and a <Button /> component.

import {
  Form,
  Field,
} from 'react-form-package';

const myForm = (props) => (
  <Form>
    <div>
      <div>Email</div>
      <div>
        <Field id="email" type="email" reuqired />
      </div>
    </div>
  </Form>
);

Props

Property | Type | Required | Default | Description ---|---|---|---|--- id | String | true | | type | String | true | | checkbox, date, textarea, datetime-local, email, number, tel, text, password, time, url, file required | Bool | false | false | min | String (digit or date (YYYY-MM-DD)) | false | | text, textarea, password: has to have at least min characters; number, date: has to be at least min max | String (digit or date (YYYY-MM-DD)) | false | | text, textarea, password: has to have at least min characters; number, date: has to be at least min match | RegEx | false | | the input value has to match the regular expression sameAs | String | the input value has to have the same value as the input field with the id specified in sameAs preOnChange | Func | false | | manipulate the state before its validated (see State Manipulation) errorMessage | String | false | | define your own custom error message for the input onFocus | Func | false | | get access to the state of the form when the user focus on the input onChange | Func | false | | get access to the state of the form when the user changes the input onBlur | Func | false | | get access to the state of the form when the user blurs the input dynamic | Bool | false | | only needed for dynamically added fields field | Object | false | | only needed for dynamically added fields. This object holds at least id, type, and may hold min, max, required bintTo | String | false | | only needed for binding input fields. The id of the inpu you want to manipulate bindToCallback | Func | false | | only needed for binding input fields. The callback to set the target's (bindTo) input value, which gets called onChange

FieldWrapper

This component is here for edge cases where you get the state from another component and you have to pass it to the <Form /> component manually, e.g. third party components.

This component has to be a child within the <Form /> component. This component exposes three additional props to its child component so that you are able to use third party components.

Basic Usage

import {
  Form,
  FieldWrapper,
} from 'react-form-package';

Render a <Form /> with an <FieldWrapper /> and a <Button /> component.

Take a look into the Third Party Components Section to see how you can use this component properly.

  <Form>
    <div>
      <FieldWrapper type="text" id="fieldwrapper">
        {/*
          Render a child component that gets access to

          onFocus
          onBlur
          onChange
        */}
      </FieldWrapper>
    <div>
      <Button id="submit" type="submit" onClick={(state) => {
        alert(JSON.stringify(state, null, 2));
        alert('open the console to see the whole state...');
        console.log(state);
      }}
      >Submit</Button>
    </div>
  </Form>

Props

Property | Type | Required | Default | Description ---|---|---|---|--- id | String | true | | type | String | true | | checkbox, date, textarea, datetime-local, email, number, tel, text, password, time, url, file required | Bool | false | false | min | String (digit or date (YYYY-MM-DD)) | false | | text, textarea, password: has to have at least min characters; number, date: has to be at least min max | String (digit or date (YYYY-MM-DD)) | false | | text, textarea, password: has to have at least min characters; number, date: has to be at least min match | RegEx | false | | the input value has to match the regular expression sameAs | String | the input value has to have the same value as the input field with the id specified in sameAs preOnChange | Func | false | | manipulate the state before its validated (see State Manipulation) errorMessage | String | false | | define your own custom error message for the input

Props that get exposed to the child component

To see how you can use this properties take a look at Third Party Components

Property | Type | Required | Default | Description ---|---|---|---|--- onFocus | Func | false | | pass your value to this function to update the state of the <Form /> component onChange | Func | false | | pass your value to this function to update the state of the <Form /> component onBlur | Func | false | | pass your value to this function to update the state of the <Form /> component meta | Object | false | | get access to the state of the <FieldWrapper /> component (see State)

RadioGroup

This component has to be a child within the <Form /> component. This component must have <input /> components with the type="radio" as children. These children components must have a name prop which has to match the parents id. The id of the children will be the value of the <RadioGroup /> component when clicked.

Basic Usage

For more detailed information you can take a look at the documentation

Render a <Form /> with a <RadioGroup /> component.

import {
  Form,
  RadioGroup,
} from 'react-form-package';

const myForm = (props) => (
  <Form>
    <div>Choose an option</div>
    <RadioGroup type="radio" id="option">
      <div>
        <div>option 1</div>
        <input type="radio" name="option" id="option1" />
      </div>
      <div>
        <div>option 2</div>
        <input type="radio" name="option" id="option2" />
      </div>
      <div>
        <div>option 3</div>
        <input type="radio" name="option" id="option3" />

For more detailed information you can take a look at the documentation

Render a <Form /> with a <Select /> and a <Button /> component.

import {
  Form,
  Select,
} from 'react-form-package';

const myForm = (props) => (
  <Form>
    <div>Select an option</div>
    <Select id="select" type="select">
      <option disabled value="">
        --- Select an option ---
      </option>
      <option value="option1">option 1</option>

The id of the inpu you want to manipulate bindToCallback | Func | false | | only needed for binding input fields. The callback to set the target's (bindTo) input value, which gets called onChange

Form Validation

Almost any form needs validation in some way. Fortunatly react-form-package comes with an declarative inbuild validation system.

What does decalrative mean in that way?

Basic Example

If you want that your input field only allows valid emails you can add the type email to the <Field /> component. If you also set validate property on the <Form /> component the button only allowes to submit if the form is completely valid.

In the next example you are able to submit the form if the input is empty (because this field is not required) and if the input value is set to a valid email, but not if the input value is not a valid email.

<Form
  validate
>
  <div>
    Email
    <div>
      <Field type="email" id="email" />
    </div>
  </div>
  <div>
    <Button
      type="submit"
      id="submit"
      onClick={(state) => {
        alert(JSON.stringify(state, null, 2));
        alert('open the console to see the whole state...');
        console.log(state);
      }}
    >
      Submit
    </Button>
  </div>
</Form>

If you add the property required to the <Field /> component, everything stays the same except that you are not able to submit the form if the input value is empty.

<Form
  validate
>
  <div>
    Email
    <div>
      <Field type="email" id="email" required />
    </div>
  </div>
  <div>
    <Button
      type="submit"
      id="submit"
      onClick={(state) => {
        alert(JSON.stringify(state, null, 2));
        alert('open the console to see the whole state...');
        console.log(state);
      }}
    >
      Submit
    </Button>
  </div>
</Form>

Type validation

A <Field /> component can have diffferent type properties.

Additionally to the validation, if the browser supports HTML5 input types the input fields will be displayed as them, only allowing numbers by default if the type is set to number, etc. If the browser does not support HTML5 it will automatically uses a text input that keeps the validation. If the user inputs a non numeric character in a number input it will display the the error message and you cannot submit the form.

Type| Description ---|--- checkbox | no additional validation date | validates if the input value matches the format YYYY-MM-DD textarea | no additional validation datetime-local | validates if the input value matches the format YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM email | validates if the input value matches the standard email format number | validates if the input value matches a valid number tel | validates if the input value matches the standard phone number format text | no additional validation password | no additional validation time | validates if the input value matches the format HH:MM url | validates if the input value matches the standard url format file | no additional validation

Additional rules

If you are using a <Field /> component you can also add some additional rules for the validation. required will work on all components, the <Field />, the <RadioGroup />, and the <Select />

Property | Type | Description ---|---|--- required | Bool | validates if the input value is not empty min | String (digit or date (YYYY-MM-DD)) | text, textarea, password: validates if the input value is at least min characters long; number, date: validates if the input value is at least min max | String (digit or date (YYYY-MM-DD)) | text, textarea, password: validates if the input value is maximum max characters long; number, date: validates if the input value is maximum max match | Regex | validates if the input value matches the regular expression sameAs | String | validates if the input of this field has the same value as the field specified in sameAs validate | Func | a function that gets access to the value of the field (value) => // write your own validation (do not forget to write your own errorMessage)

Example with the required, min, max, validate, and sameAs properties:

<Form
  validate
>
  <div>
    Text required, min, max
    <div>
      <Field type="text" id="text" min="2" max="5" required />
    </div>
  </div>
  <div>
    Number required, min, max
    <div>
      <Field type="number" id="number" min="2" max="5" required />
    </div>
  </div>
  <div>
    Text is required and has to validate the `validate` function (value === 'react')
    <div>
      <Field type="text" id="validate" validate={(value) => value === 'react'} errorMessage={'This field is required\\nThis field has to match "react"'}  required />
    </div>
  </div>
  <div>
    Date required, min, max
    <div>
      <Field type="date" id="date" min="2018-12-12" max="2018-12-24" required />
    </div>
  </div>
  <div>
    Password has to be the same as password 2
    <div>
      <Field type="password" id="password" sameAs="password2" required />
    </div>
  </div>
  <div>
    Password 2 has to be the same as password
    <div>
      <Field type="password" id="password2" sameAs="password" required />
    </div>
  </div>
  <div>
    <Button
      type="submit"
      id="submit"
      onClick={(state) => {
        alert(JSON.stringify(state, null, 2));
        alert('open the console to see the whole state...');
        console.log(state);
      }}
    >
      Submit
    </Button>
  </div>
</Form>

Example with the match property:

<Form
  validate
>
  <div>
    Text required and has to match "react"
    <div>
      <Field type="text" id="text" match={/react/} required />
    </div>
  </div>
  <div>
    <Button
      type="submit"
      id="submit"
      onClick={(state) => {
        alert(JSON.stringify(state, null, 2));
        alert('open the console to see the whole state...');
        console.log(state);
      }}
    >
      Submit
    </Button>
  </div>
</Form>

This is just a simple example, off course you are able to pass any regular expression you would like. If you would like to customize the error messages take a look at custom error messages

State

Working with the state data and meta data

A simple Example of how your Form could look like:

<Form>
  <Field id="email" type="email" required />
  <Field id="password" type="password" required />
  <Button
    id="button"
    type="submit"
    onClick={(state) => this.handleOnClick(state)}
  >
    Submit
  </Button>
</Form>

You can also use onFocus, onChange, and onBlur on every Field, Select, or RadioGroup components to get access to the state of the form (more info)

As you can see the <Button /> component has a onClick property. This property takes a function. The handleOnClick function could look something like:

async handleOnClick(state) {
  // do something with the state
  // e.g. send data to a server
  try {
    const response = await fetch('https://server.com/login', {
      method: 'POST',
      headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
      },
      body: JSON.stringify(state.data);
    });
    // do something with the response
  } catch(error) {
    // do something with the error
  }
}

As you can see the state parameter is an object. It has three different properties.

  • data: object
  • meta: object
  • formValid: boolean

In our case data would hold:

{
  "data": {
    "email": "",
    "password": ""
  }
}

meta would hold:

{
  "meta": {
    "email": {
      "initialValue": "",
      "dirty": false,
      "pristine": true,
      "visited": false,
      "touched": false,
      "value": "",
      "valid": false,
      "invalid": true,
      "rules": {
        "type": "email",
        "min": undefined,
        "max": undefined,
        "sameAs": undefined,
        "match": undefined,
        "required": true,
      }
    },
    "password": {
      "initialValue": "",
      "dirty": false,
      "pristine": true,
      "visited": false,
      "touched": false,
      "value": "",
      "valid": false,
      "invalid": true,
      "rules": {
        "type": "password",
        "min": undefined,
        "max": undefined,
        "sameAs": undefined,
        "match": undefined,
        "required": true,
      }
    }
  }
}

formValid would hold:

{
  "formValid": false
}

Meta Description

Meta data gives you an overview of what happened on that field. E.g. if a field is pristine you could deside to not send its data to the server since, nothing changed.

Property | Type | Description ---|---|--- initialValue | String or Bool | dirty | Bool | true if the value !== initialValue pristine | Bool | true if the value === initialValue visited | Bool | true if this field was focused (onFocus) touched | Bool | true if this field was blurred (onBlur) value | String or Bool | valid | Bool | true if this field is valid (passed all rules) invalid | Bool | true if this field is invalid (failed at least one rules) rules | object | the rules for the validation of this field rules.type | String | checkbox, date, textarea, datetime-local, email, number, tel, text, password, time, url, radio, select rules.min | Number or String (YYYY-MM-DD) | text, textarea, password: this field has to have at least min characters; number, date: this field has to be at least min rules.max | Number or String (YYYY-MM-DD) | text, textarea, password: this field has to have maximum max characters; number, date: this field has to be maximum max rules.match | RegEx | thie fields has to match the regular expression rules.sameAs | String | thie fields has to have the same value as the field with id sameAs (e.g. password fields) rules.required | Bool | this field is required (has to have a value)

State Manipulation

How to manipulate the state before it is validated

Sometimes you need to manipulate the value of a input. It is not recommended, but there are some edge cases and situations where this comes in handy, e.g. you have an input and you have to ensure that the user capitalizes the first letter, e.g. on names.

For this use cases there is a property called preOnChange. This property takes a function that returns the new value of the input. You can only manipulate the value of the current input field.

The next example manipulates the input value that it always capitalizes the first letter of every word in the input field.

<Form
  validate
>
  <div>
    <div>
      Name:
    </div>
    <Field 
      id="name"
      type="text"
      // `value` is the current value of the input field
      preOnChange={(value) => autocapitalize(value, 'words')}
      required
    />
  </div>
  <div>
    <Button
      id="submit"
      type="submit"
      onClick={(state) => {
        alert(JSON.stringify(state, null, 2));
        alert('open the console to see the whole state...');
        console.log(state);
      }}
    >
      Submit
    </Button>
  </div>
</Form>

Custom Error Messages

If you want to display your own error messages, use the errorMessage property on the <Field />, <Select/>, or <RadioGroup/> component.

<Form>
  <div>
    <div>Email</div>
    <Field id="email" type="email" required errorMessage="This is a custom error message!" />
  </div>
</Form>

Show Errors on Button Click

If you want to display the the erros on the button click you need to add the prop validateOnClick to the form. When using the prop validateOnClick the state is also returned in the onClick function. You can check with state.formValid if the data is valid and here you can start your request or whatever you need todo with the information.

<Form
  validate
  validateOnClick
>
  <div>
    <div>Email</div>
    <Field id="email" type="email" required />
  </div>
  <div>
    <Button type="submit" id="submit" onClick={(state) => {
        if (state.formValid) {
          alert(JSON.stringify(state, null, 2));
          alert('open the console to see the whole state...');
          console.log(state);
        }

        // do something else if form data is not valid
      }}>
      Submit
    </Button>
  </div>
</Form>

Feedback on Disabled Button

Sometimes it is necessary to show an informal error message to the user when is hovering on a disabled button (which means the form is not valid yet).

For this example we use a popover for our disabled button that gives the user a hint what should be filled.

First import all the components that we need. We use styled-bootstrap-components for our popup. You could also use a toast or something similar to indicate the user what fields are open.

import {
  Form,
  Field,
  Button,
} from 'react-form-package';
import {
  Popover,
  PopoverArrow,
  PopoverBody,
  PopoverHeader,
} from 'styled-bootstrap-component';

Next we make use of the buttons onMouseEnter function (unfortunatly the onMouseLeave function does not work on disabled buttons so we can not use it to hide the popover), and a setTimeout to hide the popover.

class PopoverHint extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = {
      top: 0,
      left: 0,
      hidden: true,
      notValidFields: '',
    };

    this.handlePopover = this.handlePopover.bind(this);
  }

  handlePopover(ev, state) {
    const { hidden } = this.state;

    let notValidFields = Object.entries(state.meta).map((entry) => {
      if (!entry[1].valid) {
        return entry[0];
      }
    });

    notValidFields = notValidFields.filter((i) => i !== undefined);

    if (!state.formValid) {
      this.setState({
        top: ev.target.offsetTop - ev.target.offsetHeight,
        left: ev.target.offsetLeft + ev.target.offsetWidth,
        hidden: !hidden,
        notValidFields: notValidFields.join(),
      }, () => {
        const { hidden: h } = this.state;
        setTimeout(() => this.setState({
          hidden: !h,
        }), 1500);
      });
    }
  }

  render() {
    const {
      top,
      left,
      hidden,
      notValidFields,
    } = this.state;

    return (
      <Form
        validate
        input={<FormControl />}
        button={<Btn primary mt="3px" mb="3px" />}
      >
        <Field type="email" id="email" required />
        <div>
          <Button
            danger
            onClick={(state) => {
              alert(JSON.stringify(state, null, 2));
              alert('open the console to see the whole state...');
              console.log(state);
            }}
            onMouseEnter={(e, state) => this.handlePopover(e, state)}
          >
            Hover button to show which fields are not valid
          </Button>
          <Popover
            hidden={hidden}
            style={{
              top: `${top}px`,
              left: `${left}px`,
            }}
            right
          >
            <PopoverArrow right />
            <PopoverHeader right>You need to fill out this fields</PopoverHeader>
            <PopoverBody right>{notValidFields}</PopoverBody>
          </Popover>
        </div>
      </Form>
    );
  }
}

export { PopoverHint };

Now we render the <PopoverHint /> and see the result.

  <PopoverHint />

Styling

To style this form you have three different options, all requires to pass a React component to a form prop.

CSS-in-JS

In this section we will use a library that uses styled-components to style our form

First you have to import the this library and the Form Components you want to use for your styling. In this example we will use styled-bootstrap-components.

import {
 Form,
 Field,
 Button,
} from 'react-form-package';
import {
  Label,
  FormGroup,
  FormControl,
  Column,
  Button as Btn,
} from 'styled-bootstrap-components';

The next step is to create you form and pass the styled components as props to the <Form /> component

  <Form
    input={<FormControl />}
    button={<Btn primary mt="3px" mb="3px" />}
  >
    <FormGroup row nomb>
      <Column sm={6}>
        <FormGroup>
          <Label>Email</Label>
          <Field id="email" type="email" placeholder="Email" />
        </FormGroup>
      </Column>
      <Column sm={12}>
        <Button id="submit" type="submit" onClick={(state) => console.log(state)} primary>Submit</Button>
      </Column>
    </FormGroup>
  </Form>

style prop

In this section we will use a the style prop to style our form

To style your form pass components to the <Form /> component that are styled with the style tag. When you create your own <input />, <button /> components do not forget do bind functions like onClick, onChange, onFocus, onBlur. This functions are needed to make react-form-package work properly.

const MyButton = (props) => (
  <button
    type="submit"
    style={{
      margin: '10px 0px',
      padding: '8px 24px',
      borderRadius: '5px',
      border: 'none',
      background: '#7FDBFF',
      color: '#001f3f',
      cursor: 'pointer',
    }}
    onClick={props.onClick}
  >
    {props.children}
  </button>
);

const MyInput = (props) => (
  <input
    style={{
      margin: '10px 0px',
      padding: '8px 3px',
      border: '1px solid #7FDBFF',
      borderRadius: '5px',
      color: 'black',
    }}
    value={props.value}
    placeholder={props.placeholder}
    onChange={props.onChange}
    onBlur={props.onBlur}
    onFocus={props.onFocus}
  />
);

The next step is to simply create you form and pass the styled components as props to the <Form /> component

  <Form
    button={<MyButton />}
    input={<MyInput />}
  >
    <div>
      Email
    </div>
    <Field type="email" id="email2" placeholder="Email" />
    <Button type="submit" id="submit2" onClick={(state) => console.log(state)}>Submit</Button>
  </Form>

CSS and className

In this section we will use a the className prop and a css file to style our form

To style your form pass components to the <Form /> component that have className prop and use css files (make sure to have an appropriate loader for your bundler).

.button {
  background: #001f3f;
  border: 1px solid black;
  padding: 8px 24px;
  border-radius: 3px;
  color: white;
  cursor: pointer;
}

.input {
  margin: 10px 0px;
  padding: 8px 3px;
  border: 1px solid #001f3f;
  border-radius: 5px;
}

Import your CSS file to your application and make sure you have a loader for css.

import './style.css';

const MyClassNameButton = (props) => (
  <button
    clssName="button"
  >
    {children}
  </button>
);

const MyClassNameInput = (props) => (
  <input
    className="input"
    value={props.value}
    placeholder={props.placeholder}
    onChange={props.onChange}
    onBlur={props.onBlur}
    onFocus={props.onFocus}
  />
);

The next step is to create you form and pass the styled components as props to the <Form /> component.

  <Form
    button={<MyClassNameButton />}
    input={<MyClassNameInput />}
  >
    <div>
      Email
    </div>
    <Field type="email" id="email2" placeholder="Email" />
    <Button type="submit" id="submit2" onClick={(state) => console.log(state)}>Submit</Button>
  </Form>

Passing props

To actually make your own components working with react-form-package you have to pass some props.

components

  • The Prop is the prop on the <Form /> component.
  • HTML is the actual HTML element to use.
  • Props are the props you have to pass these components e.g. id={prop.id} or id={this.prop.id} or onChange={prop.onChange} or onChange={this.prop.onChange}.
  • Info shows you which props you have to bind.

Prop | HTML | Props | Info ---|--- | --- | --- input | input | id, type, onChange, onBlur, onFocus | checkbox | input | id,type, onChange, onBlur, onFocus | radio | div | id,type, onChange, onBlur, onFocus, children | this is a wrapper that renders every child, and watch out for <input type="radio" value="someValue" name="theIdRadioGroup" /> and handles their state button | input | id, type, onClick, children | select | select | id, type, onChange, onBlur, onFocus, children | this is a wrapper that renders every child, and watch out for <option value="someValue" /> and handles their state textarea | textarea | id, type, onChange, onBlur, onFocus |

A textarea example:

const myTextarea = (props) => (
  <textarea
    id={props.id}
    type={props.type}
    onChange={props.onChange}
    onBlur={props.onBlur}
    onFocus={props.onFocus}
  />
);

Dynamic Fields

Sometimes you need to create your Form out of dynamic data, e.g. from data you received from a server. This is mostly the case when using checkboxes, radio groups, or select fields.

For example: you could receive the data from the server and than use setState to set the data for your checkboxes, radio groups, and select fields used in your <Form /> component.

async componentDidMount() {
  const response = await getDataFromServer();

  this.setState({
    checkboxData: response.data.checkboxData,
    selectData: response.data.selectData,
    radioData: response.data.radioData,
  });
}

Than in your render function you would return something like:

<Form>
  <div>
    {checkboxData.map((checkbox) => (
      <div>
        <div>{checkbox.name}</div>
        <Field id={checkbox.id} type="checkbox" />
      </div>
    ))}
  </div>
  <div>
    <Select type="select" id="select">
      <option
        disabled
        value=""
      >
        --- Select an option ---
      </option>
      {selectData.map((selectOption) => (
        <option value={selectOption.value}>{selectOption.name}</option>
      ))}  
    </Select>
  </div>
  <div>
    <RadioGroup type="radio" id="radioID">
      {radioData.map((radioOption) => (
        <div>
          <div>{radioOption.name}</div>
          <input type="radio" name="radioID" id={radioOption.id} />
        </div>
      ))}  
    </RadioGroup>
  </div>
  <div>
    <Button type="submit" id="submit" onClick={(state) => {
        alert(JSON.stringify(state, null, 2));
        alert('open the console to see the whole state...');
        console.log(state);
      }}>
      Submit
    </Button>
  </div>
</Form>

Dynamic Fields 2

Sometimes you do not know how many fields your form should have, so you need a way to add dynamic fields on user events, e.g. on a button click if a user should decide if a new field is needed, or on a change of a field, e.g. when a field is filled a new field should appear.

Add new Fields onClick

First off, import your components.

import React from 'react';
import {
  Form,
  Field,
  Button,
} from 'react-form-package';

The next step is to create a class that will render our form.

The state is allways handled by react-form-package, the only thing that you need todo is to handle the appearence of the form, e.g. add or remove the input.

We need create a addField, removeField, and optionally a calculateAvailableId function. The calculateAvailableId is only nessacary if you work on non unique index-based ids so that you ensure you do not overide an existing id.

The addField function is here to add a new Field when you click on a <Button /> component.

To update the state of the <Form /> component, you need to add a rfpRole property and a field or a fieldId property to a <Button /> component.

The rfpRole takes a string which is either addField or removeField.

If you use the <Button /> component to add a new field to the state of the form component you need to provide a field property which takes an object that represents your new <Field /> component. This object has to have at least a id and a type, but you can extend this object with rules like: min, max, required, match, and sameAs.

If you use the <Button /> component to add remove an existing field from the state of the form component you need to provide a fieldId property which takes a string: the id of the field you want to remove.

In the state of the DynamicFields component you have to create an array where you add refrences to the fields of your dynamic <Field /> components. To add new fields you need to add a new refrence, so that the part of the DOM rerenders with the new Field Component. To remove the Fields not only from the state of the <Form /> component but also from the DOM, you need to remove the refrences in your state that the component rerenders that part of the DOM.

class DynamicFields extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);

    this.state = {
      // the field refrences that we use to render in our <Form /> component
      companies: [
        {
          id: 'company-0',
        },
      ],
    };

    this.addField = this.addField.bind(this);
    this.removeField = this.removeField.bind(this);
    this.calculateAvailableId = this.calculateAvailableId.bind(this);
  }

  calculateAvailableId() {
    const {
      companies,
    } = this.state;

    const arr = companies.map((item) => parseInt(item.id.split('-')[1], 10));

    let currentHighestId = Math.max(...arr);
    currentHighestId = currentHighestId !== -Infinity ? currentHighestId : 0;

    const highestAvailableId = currentHighestId + 1;

    return highestAvailableId;
  }

  addField() {
    const {
      companies,
    } = this.state;

    const highestAvailableId = this.calculateAvailableId();

    // add a new field refrence to the <Form /> component
    this.setState({
      companies: companies.concat({ id: `company-${highestAvailableId}` }),
    });
  }

  removeField(idx) {
    const {
      companies,
    } = this.state;

    // remove a field refrence to the <Form /> component
    this.setState({
      companies: companies.filter((_, index) => idx !== index),
    });
  }

  render() {
    const {
      companies,
    } = this.state;

    const highestAvailableId = this.calculateAvailableId();

    return (
      <Form
        validate
      >
        {/* render the <Field /> components based on our field refrences */}
        {companies.map((company, idx) => (
          <div>
            <Field
              id={company.id}
              placeholder={`Company ${company.id.split('-')[1]}`}
              type="text"
              required
            />
            <Button
              id="removeField"
              // add the rfpRole property
              rfpRole="removeField"
              type="button"
              // add the fieldId property to remove the field from the state of the <Form /> component
              fieldId={company.id}
              onClick={() => this.removeField(idx)}
            >
              Remove Company
            </Button>
          </div>
        ))}
        <div>
          <Button
            id="addField"
            // add the rfpRole property
            rfpRole="addField"
            type="button"
            // add the field property to add to the state state of the <Form /> component
            field={{
              id: `company-${highestAvailableId}`,
              type: 'text',
              required: true,
            }}
            onClick={() => this.addField()}
          >
            Add Company
          </Button>
        </div>
        <div>
          <Button
            id="submit"
            type="submit"
            onClick={(state) => {
              alert(JSON.stringify(state, null, 2));
              alert('open the console to see the whole state...');
              console.log(state);
            }}
          >
            submit
          </Button>
        </div>
      </Form>
    );
  }
}

export { DynamicFields };

Now render this Component. Everytime you click on the button Add Company you get a new field, and everytime you click on the button Remove Company you remove the corresponding field.

Add new Fields onChange

First off, import your components.

import React from 'react';
import {
  Form,
  Field,
  Button,
} from 'react-form-package';

The next step is to create a class that will render our form.

Everything stays the same as in the example above, except:

That we now use a dynamic property and the field property on the <Field /> component. the field property takes the same properties as in the <Button /> component. The dynamic property indicates that this <Field /> component is dynamic and adds a new field in the state of the <Form /> component when this <Field /> is filled.

class DynamicFields extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);

    // the field refrences that we use to render in our <Form /> component
    this.state = {
      companies: [
        {
          id: 'company-0',
        },
      ],
    };

    this.addField = this.addField.bind(this);
    this.removeField = this.removeField.bind(this);
    this.calculateAvailableId = this.calculateAvailableId.bind(this);
  }

  calculateAvailableId() {
    const {
      companies,
    } = this.state;

    const arr = companies.map((item) => parseInt(item.id.split('-')[1], 10));

    let currentHighestId = Math.max(...arr);
    currentHighestId = currentHighestId !== -Infinity ? currentHighestId : 0;

    const highestAvailableId = currentHighestId + 1;

    return highestAvailableId;
  }

  addField(state, id) {
    const {
      companies,
    } = this.state;

    const highestAvailableId = this.calculateAvailableId();

    // add a new field refrence to the <Form /> component
    if (state.data[id] && parseInt(id.split('-')[1], 10) + 1 === highestAvailableId) {
      this.setState({
        companies: companies.concat({ id: `company-${highestAvailableId}` }),
      });
    }
  }

  removeField(idx) {
    const {
      companies,
    } = this.state;

    // remove a field refrence to the <Form /> component
    this.setState({
      companies: companies.filter((_, index) => idx !== index),
    });
  }

  render() {
    const {
      companies,
    } = this.state;

    const highestAvailableId = this.calculateAvailableId();

    return (
      <Form>
        {/* render the <Field /> components based on our field refrences */}
        {companies.map((company, idx) => (
          <div>
            <Field
              id={company.id}
              placeholder={`Company ${company.id.split('-')[1]}`}
              type="text"
              required
              // add the dynamic property 
              dynamic
              // add the field property to add to the state state of the <Form /> component
              field={{
                id: `company-${highestAvailableId}`,
                type: 'text',
                required: true,
              }}
              onChange={(state) => this.addField(state, company.id)}
            />
            {companies.length && (
              <Button
                id="removeField"
                // add the rfpRole property
                rfpRole="removeField"
                type="button"
                // add the fieldId property to remove the field from the state of the <Form /> component
                fieldId={company.id}
                onClick={() => this.removeField(idx)}
              >
                Remove Company
              </Button>
            )}

          </div>
        ))}
        <div>
          <Button
            id="submit"
            type="submit"
            onClick={(state) => {
              alert(JSON.stringify(state, null, 2));
              alert('open the console to see the whole state...');
              console.log(state);
            }}
          >
            submit
          </Button>
        </div>
      </Form>
    );
  }
}

export { DynamicFieldsOnChange };

Now render this Component. Everytime you fill out the <Field /> component you will add a new <Field />, and everytime you click on the button Remove Company you remove the corresponding field.

Dynamic Fields 3

When you have a part of your form that consists of multiple fields that needs to be dynamic, e.g. streetname and housenumber. >ou can add multiple fields to the state of the <Form /> component by simle passing an array of objects to the field property instead of a single object. The same way you can remove multiple fields from state of the <Form /> component, by passing an array of strings to the fieldId property instead of a single string.

Add multiple dynamic fields to the state

First off, import your components.

import React from 'react';
import {
  Form,
  Field,
  Button,
} from 'react-form-package';

Now create your component:

class MultipleDynamicFields extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);

    this.state = {
      companies: [
        {
          id: 'street-0',
        },
      ],
    };

    this.addField = this.addField.bind(this);
    this.removeField = this.removeField.bind(this);
    this.calculateAvailableId = this.calculateAvailableId.bind(this);
  }

  calculateAvailableId() {
    const {
      companies,
    } = this.state;

    const arr = companies.map((item) => parseInt(item.id.split('-')[1], 10));

    let currentHighestId = Math.max(...arr);
    currentHighestId = currentHighestId !== -Infinity ? currentHighestId : 0;

    const highestAvailableId = currentHighestId + 1;

    return highestAvailableId;
  }

  addField() {
    const {
      companies,
    } = this.state;

    const highestAvailableId = this.calculateAvailableId();

    this.setState({
      companies: companies.concat({ id: `street-${highestAvailableId}` }),
    });
  }

  removeField(idx) {
    const {
      companies,
    } = this.state;

    this.setState({
      companies: companies.filter((_, index) => idx !== index),
    });
  }

  render() {
    const {
      companies,
    } = this.state;

    const highestAvailableId = this.calculateAvailableId();

    return (
      <Form
        validate
      >
        {companies.map((street, idx) => (
          <div>
            <div>
              <Field
                id={`${street.id}`}
                placeholder="Street name"
                type="text"
                required
              />
            </div>
            <div>
              <Field
                id={`housenumber-${street.id.split('-')[1]}`}
                placeholder="House number"
                type="number"
                required
              />
            </div>
            <Button
              id="removeField"
              rfpRole="removeField"
              type="button"
              // pass multiple fieldIds 
              // in an array to the 
              // fieldId
              fieldId={[
                `${street.id}`,
                `housenumber-${street.id.split('-')[1]}`,
              ]}
              onClick={() => this.removeField(idx)}
            >
              Remove Company
            </Button>
          </div>
        ))}
        <div>
          <Button
            id="addField"
            rfpRole="addField"
            type="button"
            // pass multiple field objects 
            // in an array to the 
            // field property
            field={[
              {
                id: `street-${highestAvailableId}`,
                type: 'text',
                required: true,
              },
              {
                id: `housenumber-${highestAvailableId}`,
                type: 'number',
                required: true,
              },
            ]}
            onClick={() => this.addField()}
          >
            Add Company Field
          </Button>
        </div>
        <div>
          <Button
            id="submit"
            type="submit"
            onClick={(state) => {
              alert(JSON.stringify(state, null, 2));
              alert('open the console to see the whole state...');
              console.log(state);
            }}
          >
            submit
          </Button>
        </div>
      </Form>
    );
  }
}

export { MultipleDynamicFields };

Now lets render this component and see how you can add and remove multiple fields.

Bind Input Fields

Sometimes a input value depends on another input value, e.g. the use inputs a range of house numbers and you have to calculate the dependend household count. So that the user is able to skip some fields but is also able to chnage the value if the user knows it better.

Bind an input value to another input value

To handle such cases there are two properties available on the <Field />, the <RadioGroup />, and the <Select /> component.

Property | Type | Required | Default | Description ---|---|---|---|--- bindTo | String, Array | false | | the id/ids of the field/fields you want to manipulate bindToCallback | Func | false | | the callback to set the target's (bindTo) input value, which gets called onChange

Basic Usage

In our example we bind our first housenumbers input to the second households input. As long as the bound input field (bindTo, in our example the households field) is untouched (not blurred) the binToCallback will be executed onChange of the field where we have the bindTo and bindToCallback properties. The bindToCallback expects a String as return value, and gets the input value of the current input field housenumbers.

<Form>
  <div>
    <div>
      House numbers:
    </div>
    <Field
      id="housenumbers"
      type="text"
      placeholder="2-7"
      // bind this field to field with id `households`
      bindTo="households"
      // when this field changes set the value of the
      // bound field (`households`) to the result of
      // this function, either a string or a boolean
      bindToCallback={
        (value) => {
          const numbers = value.includes('-')
            ? value.split('-')
            : value;

          if (!Array.isArray(numbers)) {
            return '1';
          }

          const number1 = parseInt(numbers[0]);
          const number2 = parseInt(numbers[1]);

          if (!number2 || number2 === number1) {
            return '1';
          }

          if (number2 < number1) {
            return '0';
          }

          const households = (number2 - number1 + 1).toString();

          return households;
        }
      }
    />
  </div>
  <div>
    <div>
      Households:
    </div>
    <Field 
      id="households"
      type="number"
      placeholder="6"
    />
  </div>
  <div>
    <Button
      id="submit"
      type="submit"
      onClick={(state) => {
        alert(JSON.stringify(state, null, 2));
        alert('open the console to see the whole state...');
        console.log(state);
      }}
    >
      Submit
    </Button>
  </div>
</Form>

Bind Input Fields 2

Sometimes it is not enough to bind the the value of an input field to just one single different input field. So you can also pass an array of ids to the bindTo prop. As we learned in the Bind Input Fields chapter, the bindToCallback is only triggered when the input field to which it is bound was not touched (blurred) yet. This sometimes has a problematic effect, e.g. if you have a select input to choose a email template, but everytime the user switches the select option, the template should be switched, even if the user touched one of the fields it was bound to. This can be achieved if you set a property called bindToAlways. If you return a single value from the bindToCallback every bound field will be populated with this value. If you want to have different values for each binding thn you can return an array of values. The binding will be in the same order as the order of the bindTo array. If the length of the array of the return value of the bindToCallback does not match the length of the bindTo ids, only the fields with an return value will be populated.

Bind an input value to another input value

To handle such cases there are two properties available on the <Field />, the <RadioGroup />, and the <Select /> component.

Property | Type | Required | Default | Description ---|---|---|---|--- bindTo | String, Array | false | | the id/ids of the field/fields you want to manipulate bintToAllways | Bool | false | | only needed if you want that the bindToCallback is triggered even the bound input field was already touched (blurred) bindToCallback | Func | false | | the callback to set the target's (bindTo) input value, which gets called onChange

Basic Usage

In our example we use Select input to choose between different email templates.

<Form>
  <div>
    <div>
      Email Template:
    </div>
    <Select
      id="emailTemplate"
      bindTo={[
        'subject',
        'body',
      ]}
      bindToAlways
      bindToCallback={(value) => {
        if(value === 'friends') {
          return [
            'What\'s up?', // subject as it appears first in the `bindTo` prop
            'Just take a look at this meme...', // body as it appears second in the `bindTo` prop
          ];
        }

        return [
          'Weekly report',
          'Dear Boss,\n\n...\n...\n...',
        ];
      }}
    >
      <option disabled value="">
        --- Select an email template ---
      </option>
      <option value="friends">Friends</option>
      <option value="boss">Boss</option>
    </Select>
  </div>
  <div>
    <div>
      Subject:
    </div>
    <Field
      id="subject"
      type="text"
    />
  </div>
  <div>
    <div>
      Body:
    </div>
    <Field
      id="body"
      type="textarea"
      rows="5"
      cols="40"
    />
  </div>
  <div>
    <Button
      id="submit"
      type="submit"
      onClick={(state) => {
        alert(JSON.stringify(state, null, 2));
        alert('open the console to see the whole state...');
        console.log(state);
      }}
    >
      Submit
    </Button>
  </div>
</Form>

onFocus, onChange, onBlur

get access to the state everytime the user interacts with your form

Sometimes, access to the forms state is needed even before the user submits the form. This can be if you want to store the forms state on the server on every change (e.g. every time the user changes a input or everytime the user blurs an input) or you want to check if the users input is already taken (e.g. a user might not be allowed to use a email or a username that is already taken and you want to give the user a fast respond before the user even submits the form).

You are not able to modify the state on this callbacks since react-form-package takes care of the state management, but you can use the state to communicate with a server or change the UI corresponding to the current state. If you have an edge case where you have to modify the state of the input use preOnChange (see State Manipulation).

onFocus

import {
  Form,
  Field,
} from 'react-form-package';

Render a <Form /> with an email <Field /> component and a onFocus property.

  <Form>
    {/* do something with the state onFocus */}
    <Field
      id="email"
      type="email"
      value="[email protected]"
      onFocus={(state) => console.log(state)}
    />
  </Form>

onChange

import {
  Form,
  Field,
} from 'react-form-package';

Render a <Form /> with an email <Field /> component and a onChange property.

  <Form>
    {/* do something with the state onChange */}
    <Field
      id="email"
      type="email"
      value="[email protected]"
      onChange={(state) => console.log(state)}
    />
  </Form>

onBlur

import {
  Form,
  Field,
} from 'react-form-package';

Render a <Form /> with an email <Field /> component and a onBlur property.

  <Form>
    {/* do something with the state onBlur */}
    <Field
      id="email"
      type="email"
      value="[email protected]"
      onBlur={(state) => console.log(state)}
    />
  </Form>

Third Party Components

Working with third party components

Sometimes you need to work with third party components to make something work properly, e.g. you need an autocompletion. This react-form-package does not provide an autocompletion by default, but luckily you can use third party components within react-form-package and keep all the functionality.

To give you an example of how to create a autocompletion form we use downshift.

react-form-package has a <FieldWrapper /> component. This component exposes four props to the child component: onFocus, onBlur, onChange and meta.

This props are functions that takes exactly one argument: value. Which should be a string for input fields or a boolean for a checkbox.

Autocomplete

First off, import your components.

import React from 'react';
import Downshift from 'downshift';
import {
  FormControl,
  Label,
} from 'styled-bootstrap-components';

The next step is to create a Autocomplete component.

We use the standard example from the downshift documentation.

We use the exposed function props to change the state of the <Form />. Take a look at the onChange function of the <Downshift /> component, or the onFocus and onBlur function on the input component, or the meta data used on the <FormControl /> component.

// ./Autocomplete.js

const items = [
  { value: 'apple' },
  { value: 'pear' },
  { value: 'orange' },
  { value: 'grape' },
  { value: 'banana' },
];

const Autocomplete = (props) => (
  <Downshift
    // here we are using the onChange function
    onChange={(item) => props.onChange(item.value)}
    itemToString={(item) => (item ? item.value : '')}
  >
    {({
      getInputProps,
      getItemProps,
      getLabelProps,
      getMenuProps,
      isOpen,
      inputValue,
      highlightedIndex,
      selectedItem,
    }) => (
      <div>
        <Label {...getLabelProps()}>Enter a fruit: </Label>
        <FormControl
          {...getInputProps({
            // here we are using the onFocus and onBlur function
            onFocus: (e) => props.onFocus(e.target.value),
            onBlur: (e) => props.onBlur(e.target.value),
            placeholder: 'apple',
          })}
          // here we are using the meta data
          valid={props.meta.touched ? props.meta.valid : undefined}
          invalid={props.meta.touched ? props.meta.invalid : undefined}
        />
        <ul {...getMenuProps()}>
          {isOpen
            ? items
              .filter((item) => !inputValue || item.value.includes(inputValue))
              .map((item, index) => (
                <li
                  {...getItemProps({
                    key: item.value,
                    index,
                    item,
                    style: {
                      backgroundColor:
                        highlightedIndex === index ? 'lightgray' : 'white',
                      fontWeight: selectedItem === item ? 'bold' : 'normal',
                    },
                  })}
                >
                  {item.value}
                </li>
              ))
            : null}
        </ul>
      </div>
    )}
  </Downshift>
);

export { Autocomplete };

Now we have to import all components that we need and use our `<
