I'm trying to implement a rather complicated form that has and date picker and input which the user can add multiple of (or delete). That data then gets added to the overall form on submit. How do I get react-hook-forms to register that little dynamic faux form within the real form?
Here's the faux form inputs:
<AddPackagesStyle>
<Label htmlFor="addedPackages" label="Add Packages" />
<DatePicker
id="dateRange"
selected={startDate}
selectsRange
startDate={startDate}
endDate={endDate}
placeholderText="select dates"
onChange={onDateChange}
/>
<PackageInput
id="PackageSelect"
placeholder="Select Package"
type="text"
value={name}
// @ts-ignore
onChange={(e) =>
// @ts-ignore
setName(e.target.value)
}
/>
<ButtonContainer>
<button type="button" onClick={clearAll}>
Clear
</button>
<button
type="button"
// @ts-ignore
onClick={addPackage}
>
Add
</button>
</ButtonContainer>
</AddPackagesStyle>
These entries get added to an array in a useState hook:
const [addedPackages, setAddedPackages] = useState<any[]>([])
Then this gets rendered in JSX as the add packages:
<ContentSubscriptionWrapper>
{addedPackages.length !== 0 &&
addedPackages.map((addedPackage, idx) => (
// @ts-ignore
<>
<ContentSubscriptionColumn>
{addedPackage.name && addedPackage.name}
</ContentSubscriptionColumn>
<ContentSubscriptionColumn>
{addedPackage.startDate &&
addedPackage.startDate.toString()}
</ContentSubscriptionColumn>
<ContentSubscriptionColumn>
{addedPackage.endDate && addedPackage.endDate.toString()}
</ContentSubscriptionColumn>
<button type="button" onClick={() => removePackage(idx)}>
X
</button>
</>
))}
</ContentSubscriptionWrapper>
So before the form gets submitted, the 'add packages' has to be set. Where do I add the {...register} object to add to the larger form object for submission?
const {
control,
register,
handleSubmit,
formState: { errors },
} = useForm<any>()
const onSubmit = (data: any) => {
console.log(data)
}
CodePudding user response：
I created a CodeSandbox trying to reproduce your use case and used Material UI to get it done quickly, but you should get the idea and can modify it with your own components.
- you should let RHF handle all the state of your form
- use RHF's
useFieldArrayfor managing (add, remove) your packages/subscriptions - there is no need to usewatchhere - use a separate
useFormfor your<AddPackage />component, this has the benefit that you will have form validation for this sub form (in case it should be a requirement that all fields of<AddPackage />need to be required) - i added validation in the demo to demonstrate this
AddPackage.tsx
export const AddSubscription: React.FC<AddSubscriptionProps> = ({ onAdd }) => {
const {
control,
reset,
handleSubmit,
formState: { errors }
} = useForm<Subscription>({
defaultValues: { from: null, to: null, package: null }
});
const clear = () => reset();
const add = handleSubmit((subscription: Subscription) => {
onAdd(subscription);
clear();
});
