rea11y-easy-form

The (hopefully!) easiest way to build highly performant and accessible forms in React.

Built on top of react-final-form (for its subscription-based form state management), the key goals and features of rea11y-easy-form are:

1. Accessibility
2. Simplicity
3. Extensibility
4. Performance

In that order too!

With a number of built-in components developed for accessibility, and the ability to easily use your own, rea11y-easy-form should have you covered.

View the components and docs in Storybook.

Install

react-final-form and final-form are required peer dependencies for all of the core functionality.

npm install rea11y-easy-form react-final-form final-form
# or
yarn add rea11y-easy-form react-final-form final-form

Certain components require additional peer dependencies as well. They are only needed if you plan to use those components though.

Development

Testing

npm run test

Building

npm run build

Storybook

To run a live-reload Storybook server on your local machine:

npm run storybook

Generating New Components

npm run generate YourComponentName

This will generate:

/src
  /YourComponentName
    YourComponentName.tsx
    YourComponentName.stories.tsx
    YourComponentName.test.tsx
    YourComponentName.types.ts

Installing Component Library Locally

Let's say you have another project (test-app) on your machine that you want to try installing the component library into without having to first publish the component library. In the test-app directory, you can run:

npm i --save ../rea11y-easy-form

which will install the local component library as a dependency in test-app. It'll then appear as a dependency in package.json like:

  ...
  "dependencies": {
    ...
    "rea11y-easy-form": "file:../rea11y-easy-form",
    ...
  },
  ...
