🔌 Custom Components & Multiple Forms

Multiple Form Instances

You can now use multiple form instances on the same page without state conflicts:

import React from 'react';
import { CollectionForm } from '@appmint/form';

const MultipleFormsExample = () => {
  return (
    <div className="grid grid-cols-2 gap-4">
      {/* Each form has its own independent state */}
      <CollectionForm 
        schema={schema1} 
        id="form-1"
        data={data1}
      />
      
      <CollectionForm 
        schema={schema2} 
        id="form-2"
        data={data2}
      />
    </div>
  );
};

Custom Components

Create and register custom form components to extend the library's capabilities:

import React from 'react';
import { CollectionForm, registerCustomComponent } from '@appmint/form';

// Create a custom component
const CustomTextInput = (props) => {
  const { value, change, blur, focus, name, schema } = props;
  
  return (
    <div className="custom-input">
      <input
        type="text"
        value={value || ''}
        onChange={(e) => change(e.target.value)}
        onBlur={(e) => blur(e.target.value)}
        onFocus={focus}
        placeholder={schema.placeholder}
        className="custom-styled-input"
      />
      <div className="helper-text">Custom input component</div>
    </div>
  );
};

// Register your custom component
registerCustomComponent('custom-text', CustomTextInput);

// Use it in your form schema
const schema = {
  type: 'object',
  properties: {
    customField: {
      type: 'string',
      title: 'Custom Field',
      'x-control': 'custom-text'
    }
  }
};

You can also override existing components to customize their appearance and behavior:

// Override the built-in textarea component
registerCustomComponent('textarea', CustomTextareaComponent);
