react-hook-form-components

The idea of this package is to have a collection of components that can be used with react-hook-form without having to write a lot of boilerplate code. And also to make the life of the developer easier so they don't have to figure out how to integrate external libraries with react-hook-form.

Supported input types:

  • all standard html input types (text, email, number, etc.)
  • date picker (react-datepicker)
  • typeahead (react-bootstrap-typeahead)
  • numeric / pattern formats (react-number-format)

⚠️ Basic usage is also possible without yup but you will have to handle validation and type conversions yourself. So we highly recommend using yup. See the example below.

Documentation

Installation

npm install @neolution-ch/react-hook-form-components
yarn add @neolution-ch/react-hook-form-components

Getting started

Basic usage

import { Form, Input } from 'react-hook-form-components';

interface FormInputs {
    testInput: string;
}

....

<Form<FormInputs> onSubmit={(data) => console.log(data)}>
    <Input<FormInputs> name={"testInput"} label={"Test Input"} />
    <input type="submit" />
</Form>

Yup

To use it with yup please install @hookform/resolvers and yup.

To make your life easier you can use the method described in this blog article to get strongly typed validation schema from yup: Strongly typed validation schema with yup.

import { Form, Input } from 'react-hook-form-components';
import { yupResolver } from "@hookform/resolvers/yup";
import * as yup from "yup";

interface FormInputs {
    numberInput: number;
}

const schema = yup.object({
  // this will trigger validation and show error message if the input is empty
  // it will also convert the input value to a number
  numberInput: yup.number().required(),
});

...

<Form<FormInputs> onSubmit={(data) => console.log(data)} resolver={yupResolver(schema)}>
    <Input<FormInputs> name={"numberInput"} label={"Number Input"} type="number" />
    <input type="submit" />
</Form>

Typeahead

To use typeahead you have to include their CSS file in your project:

import "react-bootstrap-typeahead/css/Typeahead.css";

Static Typeahead

Use the StaticTypeaheadInput component for a static list of options.

<StaticTypeaheadInput name="inputName" options={["one", "two"]} label="Static Typeahead" />

Options can also be an array of LabelValueOption objects. In this case you can have a different label and value.

<StaticTypeaheadInput
  name="inputName"
  options={[
    {
      label: "one",
      value: "one",
    },
    {
      label: "two",
      value: "two",
    },
  ]}
  label="Static Typeahead"
/>

Async Typeahead

To use an async typeahead you have to provide a function that returns a promise. The function will be called with the current input value.

<AsyncTypeaheadInput
  name="inputName"
  queryFn={async (query) => {
    return ["one", "two"];
  }}
  label="Async Typeahead"
/>

And also here you can have an array of LabelValueOption objects.

<AsyncTypeaheadInput
  name="inputName"
  queryFn={async (query) => {
    return [
      { value: "one", label: "one" },
      { value: "two", label: "two" },
    ];
  }}
  label="Async Typeahead"
/>

Datepicker

To use the DatepickerInput component you have to include their CSS file in your project:

import "react-datepicker/dist/react-datepicker.css";

Basic example:

<DatePickerInput name="datepickerInput" label="Date Picker" />

You get full access to the react-datepicker component. So you can pass all props to the datePickerProps prop of the DatePickerInput component.

So for example if you don't like the default date format of dd.MM.yyyy you can change it to yyyy-MM-dd like this:

<DatePickerInput
  name="datepickerInput"
  label="Date Picker"
  datePickerProps={{
    dateFormat: "yyyy-MM-dd",
  }}
/>

⚠️ The date will always be set with a time so it matches midnight of the selected date when converted to UTC (which JSON.stringify does). So you will always get a

Numeric and Pattern Format

Numeric format

To use a numeric format (for example with a thousand seperator) you can use the Input component and supply numericFormat.

Refer to the react-number-format documentation for more information. If you use the numericFormat prop and declare the variable as a number with yup, you will get the unformatted value in your onSubmit function.

<FormattedInput
  name={"name"}
  label={"Numeric Format"}
  numericFormat={{
    thousandSeparator: "'",
  }}
/>

Pattern format

To use a pattern format (for example for a phone nr) you can use the Input component and supply patternFormat.

Refer to the react-number-format documentation for more information.

<FormattedInput
  name={"name"}
  label={"Pattern fomrat"}
  patternFormat={{
    format: "###-###-####",
    allowEmptyFormatting: true,
    mask: "_",
  }}
/>

Storybook

The storybook is a visual testing tool that makes it easy to test and tinker with the components.
