Getting Started
š Final Form works on subscriptions to perform updates based on the
Observer pattern. Both form
and field subscribers must specify exactly which parts of the form state they
want to receive updates about.
import { createForm } from 'final-form'
const form = createForm({
initialValues,
onSubmit,
validate
})
const unsubscribe = form.subscribe(
formState => {
},
{
dirty: true,
valid: true,
values: true
}
})
const unregisterField = form.registerField(
'username',
fieldState => {
const { blur, change, focus, ...rest } = fieldState
},
{
active: true,
dirty: true,
touched: true,
valid: true,
value: true
}
)
form.submit()

form state. It also shows just how much
š React Final Form
does for you out of the box.

Sets arbitrary data for fields.
Allows control over the touched
flags for fields.

API
The following can be imported from final-form
.
createForm: (config: Config) => FormApi
Creates a form instance. It takes a Config
and returns a
FormApi
.
fieldSubscriptionItems: string[]
An Ć la carte list of all the possible things you can subscribe to for a
field. Useful for subscribing to everything.
formSubscriptionItems: string[]
An Ć la carte list of all the possible things you can subscribe to for a form.
Useful for subscribing to everything.
FORM_ERROR: Symbol
A special Symbol
key used to return a whole-form error inside error objects
returned from validation or submission.
getIn(state: Object, complexKey: string): any
setIn(state: Object, key: string, value: any): Object
version: string
The current used version of š Final Form.
Types
Config
debug?: DebugFunction
initialValues?: Object
The initial values of your form. These will also be used to compare against the
current values to calculate pristine
and dirty
.
mutators?: { [string]: Mutator }
Optional named mutation functions.
onSubmit: (values: Object, form: FormApi, callback: ?(errors: ?Object) => void) => ?Object | Promise<?Object> | void
Function to call when the form is submitted. There are three possible ways to
write an onSubmit
function:
- Synchronously: returns
undefined
on success, or an Object
of submission
errors on failure - Asynchronously with a callback: returns
undefined
, calls callback()
with
no arguments on success, or with an Object
of submission errors on failure. - Asynchronously with a
Promise
: returns a Promise<?Object>
that resolves
with no value on success or resolves with an Object
of submission errors
on failure. The reason it resolves with errors is to leave rejection for
when there is a server or communications error.
Submission errors must be in the same shape as the values of the form. You may
return a generic error for the whole form (e.g. 'Login Failed'
) using the
special FORM_ERROR
symbol key.
validate?: (values: Object) => Object | Promise<Object>
A whole-record validation function that takes all the values of the form and
returns any validation errors. There are three possible ways to write a
validate
function:
- Synchronously: returns
{}
or undefined
when the values are valid, or an
Object
of validation errors when the values are invalid. - Asynchronously with a
Promise
: returns a Promise<?Object>
that resolves
with no value on success or resolves with an Object
of validation errors
on failure. The reason it resolves with errors is to leave rejection for
when there is a server or communications error.
Validation errors must be in the same shape as the values of the form. You may
return a generic error for the whole form using the special FORM_ERROR
symbol
key.
An optional callback for debugging that returns the form state and the states of
all the fields. It's called on every state change. A typical thing to pass in
might be console.log
.
validateOnBlur?: boolean
If true
, validation will happen on blur. If false
, validation will happen on
change. Defaults to false
.
DebugFunction: (state: FormState, fieldStates: { [string]: FieldState }) => void
Decorator: (form: FormApi) => Unsubscribe
A function that decorates a
form by subscribing to it and making changes as the form state changes, and
returns an Unsubscribe
function to detach itself from
the form. e.g.
š Final Form Calculate.
FieldConfig
isEqual?: (a: any, b: any) => boolean
A function to determine if two values are equal. Defaults to ===
.
getValidator?: () => (value: ?any, allValues: Object) => ?any | ?Promise<any>
A callback that will return a field-level validation function to validate a single field value. The validation function should return an error if the value is not valid, or undefined
if the value is valid.
validateFields?: string[]
An array of field names to validate when this field changes. If undefined
,
every field will be validated when this one changes; if []
, only this
field will have its field-level validation function called when it changes; if
other field names are specified, those fields and this one will be validated
when this field changes.

FormApi
batch: (fn: () => void) => void)
Allows batch updates by silencing notifications while the fn
is running.
Example:
form.batch(() => {
form.change('firstName', 'Erik')
form.change('lastName', 'Rasmussen')
})
blur: (name: string) => void
Blurs (marks inactive) the given field.

Changes the value of the given field.
focus: (name: string) => void
Focuses (marks active) the given field.
getRegisteredFields: () => string[]
Returns a list of all the currently registered fields.
getState: () => FormState
A way to request the current state of the form without subscribing.
initialize: (values: Object) => void
Initializes the form to the values provided. All the values will be set to these
values, and dirty
and pristine
will be calculated by performing a
shallow-equals between the current values and the values last initialized with.
The form will be pristine
after this call.
mutators: ?{ [string]: Function }
The state-bound versions of the mutators provided to Config
.
submit: () => ?Promise<?Object>
Submits the form if there are currently no validation errors. It may return
undefined
or a Promise
depending on the nature of the onSubmit
configuration value given to the form when it was created.
subscribe: (subscriber: FormSubscriber, subscription: FormSubscription) => Unsubscribe
Subscribes to changes to the form. The subscriber
will only be called when
values specified in subscription
change. A form can have many subscribers.
registerField: RegisterField
Registers a new field and subscribes to changes to it. The subscriber
will
only be called when the values specified in subscription
change. More than
one subscriber can subscribe to the same field.
This is also where you may provide an optional field-level validation function
that should return undefined
if the value is valid, or an error. It can
optionally return a Promise
that resolves (not rejects) to undefined
or an
error.
reset: () => void
Resets the values back to the initial values the form was initialized with. Or
empties all the values if the form was not initialized.
FormState
active?: string

if the form was never
initialized.

if any of the fields or the form has a validation or submission error.
false
otherwise. Note that a form can be invalid even if the errors do not
belong to any currently registered fields.

true
if the form values are the same as the initial values. false
otherwise.
Comparison is done with shallow-equals.
