Show validation feedback to the user

Time:02-12

I am making a simple react form with a react-hook-form and yup as the validator. If the user's input is successfully validated, I want to show some feedback to the user, like a green outline. The problem is that I only want to show the green outline when my input has been validated, not every time the component is rendered. How can I do this? Component:

const schema = yup.object().shape({
  email: yup
    .string()
    .required("This field is required"),
  password: yup.string().required("This field is required"),
});

export const Form = () => {
  const {
    register,
    handleSubmit,
    getValues,
    formState: { errors },
  } = useForm({
    mode: "onBlur",
    resolver: yupResolver(schema),
  });

  return (
      <form noValidate onSubmit={handleSubmit(onSubmit)}>
      <label htmlFor="email">Email</label>
      <input
        id="email"
        {...register("email")}
      />
     {errors.email ? errors?.email.message : null}
       <label htmlFor="password">Password</label>
      <input
        id="password"
        type="password"
        {...register("password")}
      />
      {errors.password ? errors?.password.message : null}
      <button
        type="submit"
      >
        Submit
      </button>
    </form>  
  );
};

CodePudding user response:

You can implement what you want with the touched property. Using the touched property for this kind of scenario is very common. Here's what you can do:

From the useForm hook, you can also extract the touchedFields

const {
    register,
    handleSubmit,
    getValues,
    formState: { errors, touchedFields }
  } = useForm({
    mode: "onBlur",
    resolver: yupResolver(schema)
  });

The touchedFields properties stores the touched fields. A field is touched the first time the user leaves the focus from that field. So, then you can conditionally show a message about a field if it is touched and it has no errors like this:

{touchedFields.email && !errors.email ? <div>Email ok</div> : null}

You can try this sandbox. I hope you can get the idea from it.
