        console.log("Finish:", values);
      }}
    >
      <Field name="username">

export default Demo;

🔥 API

We use typescript to create the Type definition. You can view directly in IDE. But you can still check the type definition here.

useForm

Form component default create an form instance by Form.useForm. But you can create it and pass to Form also. This allow you to call some function on the form instance.

const Demo = () => {
  const [form] = Form.useForm();
  return <Form form={form} />;
};

For class component user, you can use ref to get form instance:

class Demo extends React.Component {
  setRef = form => {
    // Form instance here
  };

  render() {
    return <Form ref={this.setRef} />;
  }
}

Prop	Description	Type
getFieldValue	Get field value by name path	(name: NamePath) => any
getFieldsValue	Get list of field values by name path list	(nameList?: (NamePath[]) => any) \| true
getFieldError	Get field errors by name path	(name: NamePath) => string[]
getFieldsError	Get list of field errors by name path list	(nameList?: NamePath[]) => FieldError[]
isFieldsTouched	Check if list of fields are touched	(nameList?: NamePath[], allTouched?: boolean) => boolean
isFieldTouched	Check if a field is touched	(name: NamePath) => boolean
isFieldValidating	Check if a field is validating	(name: NamePath) => boolean
resetFields	Reset fields status	(fields?: NamePath[]) => void
setFields	Set fields status	(fields: FieldData[]) => void
setFieldsValue	Set fields value	(values) => void
submit	Trigger form submit	() => void
validateFields	Trigger fields to validate	(nameList?: NamePath[], options?: ValidateOptions) => Promise

FormProvider

Prop	Description	Type	Default
validateMessages	Config global `validateMessages` template	ValidateMessages	-
onFormChange	Trigger by named form fields change	(name, { changedFields, forms }) => void	-
onFormFinish	Trigger by named form fields finish	(name, { values, forms }) => void	-

📋 Interface

NamePath

Type
string \| number \| (string \| number)[]

FieldData

Prop	Type
touched	boolean
validating	boolean
errors	string[]
name	string \| number \| (string \| number)[]
value	any

Rule

Prop	Type
enum	any[]
len	number
max	number

required	boolean
transform	(value) => any
type	string
validator	(rule, value, callback: (error?: string) => void, form) => Promise \| void

validator

To keep sync with rc-form legacy usage of validator, we still provides callback to trigger validate finished. But in rc-field-form, we strongly recommend to return a Promise instead.

ListOperations

Prop	Type
add	(initValue: any) => void
remove	(index: number) => void

ValidateMessages

Validate Messages provides a list of error template. You can ref here for fully default templates.

Prop	Description
enum	Rule `enum` prop
len	Rule `len` prop
max	Rule `max` prop
min	Rule `min` prop
name	Field name
pattern	Rule `pattern` prop
type	Rule `type` prop

Different with `rc-form`

rc-field-form is try to keep sync with rc-form in api level, but there still have something to change:

1. Field will not keep snyc with `initialValues` when un-touched

In rc-form, field value will get from initialValues if user not operate on it. It's a bug but user use as a feature which makes fixing will be a breaking change and we have to keep it. In Field Form, this bug will not exist anymore. If you want to change a field value, use setFieldsValue instead.

2. Remove Field will not clean up related value

We do lots of logic to clean up the value when Field removed before. But with user feedback, remove exist value increase the additional work to keep value back with conditional field.

3. Nest name use array instead of string

In rc-form, we support like user.name to be a name and convert value to { user: { name: 'Bamboo' } }. This makes '.' always be the route of variable, this makes developer have to do additional work if name is real contains a point like app.config.start to be app_config_start and parse back to point when submit.

Field Form will only trade ['user', 'name'] to be { user: { name: 'Bamboo' } }, and user.name to be { ['user.name']: 'Bamboo' }.

4. Remove `validateFieldsAndScroll`

Since findDomNode is marked as warning in StrictMode. It seems over control of Form component. We decide to remove validateFieldsAndScroll method and you should handle it with you own logic:

<Form>
  <Field name="username">
    <input ref={this.inputRef} />
  </Field>
</Form>

5. `getFieldsError` always return array

rc-form returns null when no error happen. This makes user have to do some additional code like:

(form.getFieldsError('fieldName') || []).forEach(() => {
  // Do something...
});

Now getFieldsError will return [] if no errors.

6. Remove `callback` with `validateFields`

Since ES8 is support async/await, that's no reason not to use it. Now you can easily handle your validate logic:

async function() {
  try {
    const values = await form.validateFields();
    console.log(values);
  } catch (errorList) {
    errorList.forEach(({ name, errors }) => {
      // Do something...
    });
  }
}

Notice: Now if your validator return an Error(message), not need to get error by e => e.message. FieldForm will handle this.

7. `preserve` is default to false

In rc-form you should use preserve to keep a value cause Form will auto remove a value from Field removed. Field Form will always keep the value in the Form whatever Field removed. But you can still use preserve=false to disable value keeping since 1.5.0.

8. `setFields` not trigger `onFieldsChange` and `setFieldsValue` not trigger `onValuesChange`

In rc-form, we hope to help user auto trigger change event by setting to make redux dispatch easier, but it's not good design since it makes code logic couping.

Additionally, user control update trigger onFieldsChange & onValuesChange event has potential dead loop risk.
