vue-forms

Supercharged unstyled forms with built in validation, submission and error handling. Vue-forms was designed to be easily integrable with tailwind or css framework of your choice.

Usage

Basic

Basic example of importing the form and input with tailwind styling.

Note that it's not required to use v-model within the inputs, formData prop will dynamically generate form data based on the input name or id.

Validations are evaluated within the input and reported to the form, the form provides slot props (formValid, validations) which shows realtime form validations.

<script lang="ts">
  import { VForm, VInput } from '@code-gorilla-au/vue-forms';

  /**
   * ...
   */
</script>

<template>
  <VForm v-slot="{ formData, validations, formValid }" @submit="handleSubmit">
    <label for="firstNameId" class="flex flex-col mb-2">
      First name
      <VInput
        #default="{ validationMessage }"
        id="firstNameId"
        name="firstName"
        type="text"
        class="text-black"
        placeholder="required"
        required
      >
        <p class="text-xs">{{ validationMessage }}</p>
      </VInput>
    </label>
    <button
      type="submit"
      :disabled="!formValid.value"
      class="rounded-lg bg-green-400 disabled:bg-slate-400 text-black font-bold p-3 my-4"
    >
      submit form
    </button>
  </VForm>
</template>

Using v-model

Vue forms can be used with v-model syntax and the form will still evaluate if the form is valid for submit.

<script lang="ts">
  import { reactive } from 'vue';
  import { VForm, VInput } from '@code-gorilla-au/vue-forms';
  const form = reactive({
    firstName: '',
  });
  /**
   * ...
   */
</script>

<template>
  <VForm v-slot="{ validations, formValid }" @submit="handleSubmit">
    <label for="firstNameId" class="flex flex-col mb-2">
      First name
      <VInput
        #default="{ validationMessage }"
        v-model="form.firstName"
        id="firstNameId"
        name="firstName"
        type="text"
        class="text-black"
        placeholder="required"
        required
      >
        <p class="text-xs">{{ validationMessage }}</p>
      </VInput>
    </label>
    <button
      type="submit"
      :disabled="!formValid.value"
      class="rounded-lg bg-green-400 disabled:bg-slate-400 text-black font-bold p-3 my-4"
    >
      submit form
    </button>
  </VForm>
</template>

Validations

Vue form uses native input validation along side some additional default rules. The optional prop validationRules can be used to describe the additional rules to run against the input. Few things to note below:

• Composing multiple rules can be 'piped' | after each rule.

• Some rules require arguments to be provided, which can be added after a colon :

  • Multiple arguments are comma , delimited.

• Input has a valid email address

  <VInput validationRules="email" type="text"> </VInput>

• Input does not contain the following values

  <VInput validationRules="not:foo,bar" type="text"> </VInput>

• Input is a valid email address and starts with a specific value

  <VInput validationRules="email|prefix:hello" type="text"> </VInput>
