  import axios from "axios"
  
  const GetDogBreeds =  async () => await axios.get('https://dog.ceo/api/breeds/list/all').then(response => Object.keys(response.data.message).map(item => ({ label: item, value: item }))).catch(_ => [])
  
  const GetSubbreedByBreed = async ({ dogBreed }) => !dogBreed ? [] : await axios.get(`https://dog.ceo/api/breed/${dogBreed}/list`).then(response => response.data.message.map(item => ({ label: item, value: item }))).catch(err => [])
  
  const { createForm } = useSweetform()
  
  
  const OpenForm = async () => {
    const { isCompleted, formData } = await createForm({
      title: "Demonstration",
      gridSize: 6,
      fields: [
        { key: "firstName", type: "text", label: "First name", placeholder: "John", size: 2 },

        { key: "dogSubBreed", type: "select", label: "Dog sub-breed", placeholder: "Select a sub-breed", dependencies: ['dogBreed'], options: GetSubbreedByBreed, size: 3 }     
      ]
    })
  }
