📣 UPDATE

This component is now a part of React Hook Form V4, and renamed to Controller with much simpler API.

Performant, flexible and extensible forms with easy to use validation.

 

Why?

React Hook Form embrace uncontrolled components and native inputs, however it's hard to avoid working with external controlled component such as React-Select, AntD and Material-UI. This wrapper component will make your life easier to work with them.

Features

• Isolate re-rendering at component level
• Integrate easily with React Hook Form (skip custom register at useEffect)
• Enable reset API with Controlled Components without external state

Install

$ npm install react-hook-form-input

Demo

Check out this React Web demo or React Native demo.

Quickstart

React Web

import React from 'react';
import useForm from 'react-hook-form';
import { RHFInput } from 'react-hook-form-input';
import Select from 'react-select';

const options = [
  { value: 'chocolate', label: 'Chocolate' },
  { value: 'strawberry', label: 'Strawberry' },
];

function App() {
  const { handleSubmit, register, setValue, reset } = useForm();

  return (
    <form onSubmit={handleSubmit(data => console.log(data))}>
      <RHFInput
        as={<Select options={options} />}
        rules={{ required: true }}
        name="reactSelect"
        register={register}
        setValue={setValue}
      />
      <button type="button">Reset Form</button>
      <button>submit</button>
    </form>
  );
}

React Native

import * as React from 'react';
import { View, TextInput, Button } from 'react-native';
import useForm from 'react-hook-form';
import { RHFInput } from 'react-hook-form-input';

export default () => {
  const { register, setValue, handleSubmit } = useForm();
  const onSubmit = data => console.log(data);

  const onChange = args => ({
    value: args[0].nativeEvent.text,
  });

  return (
    <View style={styles.container}>
      <RHFInput
        register={register}
        setValue={setValue}
        as={<TextInput />}
        onChangeEvent={onChange}
        name="firstName"
      />

      <Button title="Button" onPress={handleSubmit(onSubmit)} />
    </View>
  );
};
