React Formulation
The Bynder React Formulation is an open source solution for easy form validation in React JavaSricpt applications. It was inspired by another open source project called react-reformed.

Usage
React Formulation offers two types of forms. The first one is a high order component for larger forms, the second one is a component for a form with just one input field and a submit and cancel button.
HOC
If you have a larger form you'll use the High order component:
import { withValidation, Validator } from '@bynder/react-formulation';
@withValidation({
validateOn: 'change', // optional, default value is 'blur'
schema: {
firstname: {
required: true,
},
lastname: {
minLength: 2,
maxLenght: 30,
},
// ...more validation rules
}
})
class YourForm extends React.Component {
componentWillMount() {
this.props.setInitialModel({
firstname: 'Foo',
lastname: 'Bar',
});
}
onSubmit() {
// handle submit
}
render() {
// Wrap your entire form in a <Validator.Form> component
// Add a submit handler
// Wrap every input in a <Validator> component
// Provide a name to Validator (must match the name you provided in the schema)
return (
<Validator.Form onSubmit={this.onSubmit}>
<Validator name="firstname">
<input />
</Validator>
<Validator name="lastname">
<input />
</Validator>
<button type="submit">Submit</submit>
</Validator.Form>
);
}
}
export default YourForm;
Inline Form
For forms with just a single input you'll use the Inline Form component:
import { InlineForm } from '@bynder/react-formulation';
// Wrap your input and buttons in an <InlineForm> component.
// Provide the name of your input, validation rules, initial value,
// and optionally custom messages to this component.
// Add an onSubmit handler.
// Wrap the input in a <InlineForm.Field> component.
const YourInlineForm = () => (
<InlineForm
name="firstname"
initialValue="Foo"
rules={{
required: true,
minLength: 2,
maxLength: 30,
}}
messages={{
// Custom validation messages
required: 'Please don\'t leave me empty',
minLength: condition => `Please use a minimum of ${condition} characters`,
}}
onSubmit={(val) => { // handle submit }}
>
<InlineForm.Field resetOnEscape>
<label htmlFor="inlineform-name">Name</label>
<input id="inlineform-name" />
</InlineForm.Field>
<InlineForm.Errors /> // (optional) This will display the error messages
<InlineForm.Cancel> // (optional) This will reset your form when you click cancel
<button type="button">
Cancel
</button>
</InlineForm.Cancel>
<InlineForm.Submit> // (optional) This disables the submit button if the field isn't valid
<button type="submit">
Save
</button>
</InlineForm.Submit>
);
export default YourInlineForm;
