React Hook Form

React Hook Forms

↩️ I chose this module to validate my forms, its lightweight and integrates with yup schemas. Plus a nice online form builder and right on point instructions.

You can see this form validation in action on my contact page and on my email form in a modali window, the button for the popup email form is in the email section at the lower part of every PubliusLogic page.

Quickstart

import React from "react"
import useForm from "react-hook-form"

function App() {
  const { register, handleSubmit, errors } = useForm() // initialise the hook
  const onSubmit = data => {
    console.log(data)
  } // callback when validation pass

  return (
    <form onSubmit={handleSubmit(onSubmit)}>
      <input name="firstname" ref={register} /> {/* register an input */}
      <input name="lastname" ref={register({ required: true })} /> {/* apply required validation */}
      {errors.lastname && "Last name is required."} {/* error message */}
      <input name="age" ref={register({ pattern: /\d+/ })} /> {/* apply a Refex validation */}
      {errors.age && "Please enter number for age."} {/* error message */}
      <input type="submit" />
    </form>
  )
}

validationSchema

If you would like to centralize your validation rules or external validation schema, you can apply validationSchema when you invoke useForm. we use Yup for object schema validation and the example below demonstrate the usage.

import React from "react"
import ReactDOM from "react-dom"
import useForm from "react-hook-form"
import * as yup from "yup"

const SignupSchema = yup.object().shape({
  name: yup.string().required(),
  age: yup.number().required(),
})

function App() {
  const { register, handleSubmit, errors } = useForm({
    validationSchema: SignupSchema,
  })
  const onSubmit = data => {
    console.log(data)
  }
  console.log(errors)

  return (
    <form onSubmit={handleSubmit(onSubmit)}>
      <input type="text" name="name" ref={register} />
      <input type="number" name="age" ref={register} />
      <input type="submit" />
    </form>
  )
}
