vue-reform

Simplify your Vue.js forms with wired-up form components that are easy to extend.

Inspired by Formik.

Features

• keeps track of form's state (values, validation, etc.)
• reduces the boilerplate
• plug'n'play with custom components

Notice: vue-reform uses vee-validate under the hood for form and field validation.

Getting started

Install the library with NPM

npm install --save vue-reform

Register the library globally

import VueReform from 'vue-reform';

Vue.use(VueReform);

or import components locally

import { FormControl, FormField } from 'vue-reform';

FormField defaults to input component so you can start to build your form right away

<template>
  <form-control @submit="doFormAction">
    <form-field
      name="firstName"
      label="First name"
      placeholder="First name" />
    <form-field
      name="lastName"
      label="Last name"
      rules="required"
      placeholder="Last name" />
    <form-field
      name="email"
      label="Email"
      rules="required|email"
      placeholder="Last name" />
  </form-control>
</template>

All slots receive following props:

• value: [String, Number] - field value, bound through the name prop
• errors: String[] - field errors
• on: { [event]: listener } - event listeners map that should be attached to a form element

Custom styling

All elements rendered by vue-reform components are given prefixed helper classes that can be targeted.

Here's a list per component:

• FormControl: reform-form-control

• Form: reform-form

• FormField:

  • root element: reform-field
  • label wrapper element: reform-invalid, reform-dirty, reform-required, reform-changed, reform-touched, reform-pending
  • control wrapper element: reform-control

  These are optional as they're given to the default slots:

  • label: reform-label
  • default input control element: reform-input
  • error message: reform-error
