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 React Form

travis-ci npm version

Simple React Form is the simplest way to handle forms in React. It helps you make reusable form components in React and React Native.

This is just a framework, you must create the form components or install a package with fields that you will use.

To use with react native check here

Installation

Install the base package

npm install --save simple-react-form

Example

import React from 'react'
import {Form, Field} from 'simple-react-form'
import DatePicker from './myFields/DatePicker'
import Text from './myFields/Text'

class PostsCreate extends React.Component {
  state = {}

  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <Form state={this.state} onChange={state => this.setState(state)}>
          <Field fieldName="name" label="Name" type={Text} />
          <Field fieldName="date" label="A Date" type={DatePicker} />
        </Form>
        <p>My name is {this.state.name}</p>
      </div>
    )
  }
}

Using with state

In this example, the current value of the form will be stored in this.state

import React from 'react'
import {Form, Field} from 'simple-react-form'
import DatePicker from './myFields/DatePicker'
import Text from './myFields/Text'

class PostsCreate extends React.Component {
  state = {}

  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <Form state={this.state} onChange={state => this.setState(state)}>
          <Field fieldName="name" label="Name" type={Text} />
          <Field fieldName="date" label="A Date" type={DatePicker} />
        </Form>
        <p>My name is {this.state.name}</p>
      </div>
    )
  }
}

Using without state

In this example, the current value of the form will be stored inside the Form component and passed in the onSubmit function. The difference on this is that the state prop does not change over time.

import React from 'react'
import {Form, Field} from 'simple-react-form'
import DatePicker from './myFields/DatePicker'
import Text from './myFields/Text'

class PostsCreate extends React.Component {
  state = {}

  onSubmit({name, date}) {}

  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <Form ref="form" state={this.props.initialDoc} onSubmit={this.onSubmit}>
          <Field fieldName="name" label="Name" type={Text} />
          <Field fieldName="date" label="A Date" type={DatePicker} />
        </Form>
        <button onClick={() => this.refs.form.submit()}>Submit</button>
      </div>
    )
  }
}

Field Types

React Simple Form is built from the idea that you can create custom components easily.

Basically this consist in a component that have the prop value and the prop onChange. You must render the value and call onChange passing the new value when the value has changed.

import UploadImage from '../components/my-fields/upload'

<Field fieldName='picture' type={UploadImage} squareOnly={true}/>

Creating the field type

You must create a React component.

import React from 'react'

export default class UploadImage extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <p>{this.props.label}</p>
        <div>
          <img src={this.props.value} />
        </div>
        <TextField
          value={this.props.value}
          hintText="Image Url"
          onChange={event => this.props.onChange(event.target.value)}
        />
        <p>{this.props.errorMessage}</p>
      </div>
    )
  }
}

You can view the full list of props here.

React Native

With React Native the api is the same, but you must enclose the inner content of the form with a View component.

Example:

import React from 'react'
import {View, TextInput} from 'react-native'

export default class TextFieldComponent extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <View>
        <TextInput
          style={{height: 40, borderColor: 'gray', borderWidth: 1}}
          onChangeText={this.props.onChange}
          value={this.props.value}
        />
      </View>
    )
  }
}

Render the form in the component you want

import Text from '../components/my-fields/text'

<Form state={this.state} onChange={changes => this.setState(changes)}>
  <View>
    <Field fieldName='email' type={Text}/>
    <Field fieldName='password' type={Text}/>
  </View>
</Form>

You should always render your fields inside a View when using react native.

WithValue High order component

If you need to get the current value of the form in the children you can use the WithValue component

import React from 'react'
import {Form, Field, WithValue} from 'simple-react-form'

export default class Example extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <Form>
          <WithValue>
            {value => (
              <div>
                <p>The name is {value.name}</p>
                <Field fieldName="name" label="Name" type={Text} />
              </div>
            )}
          </WithValue>
        </Form>
      </div>
    )
  }
}
