@meronex/form

Meronex Form

A very simple React forms validation for React MUI.

🚧 Note that this an early version and still being tested, feel free to open any issue_

Features

• Validate onBlur or onChange
• Same API for classes and functional components
• Easy to fork and modify to your needs

Usage

1. Install npm i @meronex/form

2. Import import Form from '@meronex/form';

3. Add the form <Form ref={validatedForm} onUpdate={(_formData) => { setFormData(_formData); }} blurDelay={500}> ... React MUI Fields Here </Form

   Notice that we've a ref attached which exposes a validatedForm.reset() method and we've an onUpdate method which is triggered every time there change to the form. The blurDelay default is zero, and it used to delay blur validation to allow time for animation etc.

4. Add the @material-ui fields with name, defaultValue and validator attribute.

   <TextField name={'name'} label="Name" defaultValue={'a'} validate={(v) => { if (!v || v === '') return 'Name is required..!!'; return true; }} />

   That's it! The onUpdate will be triggered with all the form data, you can then set it to the state object.

Why?

I wanted a validation component for few inputs I have, and I found the existing libraries to be either too complex or too rigid for my use case.

1. Minimal and dead-simple API
2. Minimal documentation/concepts
3. Easy to fork and modify
4. No dependencies

How it works?

The Form component will bind methods/props to the child fields. The value, onBlur, onChange, error and helperText props are automatically handled, a form object is created to capture the state of the form and that object is passed to the onUpdate method with every change.
