🏁 Final Form Calculate

Decorator for 🏁 Final Form that allows you to define calculations that happen between fields, i.e. "When field X changes, update field Y."

Installation

npm install --save final-form-calculate

or

yarn add final-form-calculate

Usage

import { createForm, getIn } from 'final-form'
import createDecorator from 'final-form-calculate'

// Create Form
const form = createForm({ onSubmit })

// Create Decorator
const decorator = createDecorator(
  // Calculations:
  {
    field: 'foo', // when the value of foo changes...
    updates: {
      // ...set field "doubleFoo" to twice the value of foo
      doubleFoo: (fooValue, allValues) => fooValue * 2
    }
  },
  {
    field: 'bar', // when the value of bar changes...
    updates: {
      // ...set field "foo" to previous value of bar
      foo: (fooValue, allValues, prevValues) => prevValues.bar
    }
  },
  {
    field: /items\[\d+\]/, // when a field matching this pattern changes...
    updates: {
      // ...sets field "total" to the sum of all items
      total: (itemValue, allValues) =>
        (allValues.items || []).reduce((sum, value) => sum + value, 0)
    }
  },
  {
    field: 'foo', // when the value of foo changes...
    updates: {
      // ...asynchronously set field "doubleFoo" to twice the value using a promise
      doubleFoo: (fooValue, allValues) =>
        new Promise(resolve => {
          setTimeout(() => resolve(fooValue * 2), 100)
        })
    }
  },
  {
    field: /\.timeFrom/, // when a deeper field matching this pattern changes...
    updates: (value, name, allValues) => {
      const toField = name.replace('timeFrom', 'timeTo')
      const toValue = getIn(allValues, toField)
      if (toValue && value > toValue) {
        return {
          [toField]: value
        }
      }

      return {}
    }
  }
)

// Decorate form
const undecorate = decorator(form)

// Use form as normal

Calculated Fields Example

Example using 🏁 React Final Form.

API

createDecorator: (...calculations: Calculation[]) => Decorator

A function that takes a set of calculations and returns a 🏁 Final Form Decorator.

Types

Calculation: { field: FieldPattern, isEqual?: (any, any) => boolean, updates: Updates }

A calculation to perform, with an optional isEqual predicate to determine if a value has really changed (defaults to ===).

FieldName: string

FieldPattern: FieldName | RegExp | (FieldName | RegExp)[]

A pattern to match a field with.

Updates: UpdatesByName | UpdatesForAll

Either an object of updater functions or a function that generates updates for multiple fields.

UpdatesByName: { [FieldName]: (value: any, allValues: Object, prevValues: Object) => Promise | any }

Updater functions for each calculated field.

UpdatesForAll: (value: any, field: string, allValues: Object, prevValues: Object, setHints: {skipNextUpdate: boolean}) => Promise | { [FieldName]: any }

Takes the value and name of the field that just changed, as well as all the values, and returns an object of fields and new values.

With setHints, you can instruct final-form-calculate to skip calling next Updates cycle. You can do that with skipHints({skipNextUpdate: true}) in your updates handler.

The reason behind this feature is, in certain scenarious you may have closed loops of fields dependency. E.g. field foo updates field bar, and field bar updates field foo. This will result in infinite loop of updates. By calling this function selectively in the body of updates, foo will update bar, but updates on next update cycle will not be called, so bar will not update foo.

When using this, make sure you update all fields that are dependant on the current field, even if they are recursive dependency.

Example:

{
  field: "foo",
  updates: {
    bar: "foo updated me",
  }
},{
  field: "bar",
  updates: {
    baz: "bar updated me"
  }
}

Updates on foo indirecly will update baz in 2 update cycles.

When using:

{
  field: "foo",
  updates: (value, field, allValues, prevValues, setHints) => {
    setHints({ skipNextUpdate: true })
    return {
      bar: "foo updated me",
    }
  }
},{
  field: "bar",
  updates: {
    baz: "bar updated me"
  }
}

Updates on foo will not trigger update on baz.

In order to make such updates, make them directly from foo.

{
  field: "foo",
  updates: (value, field, allValues, prevValues, setHints) => {
    setHints({ skipNextUpdate: true })
    return {
      bar: "foo updated me",
      baz: "foo updated me",
    }
  }
},{
  field: "bar",
  updates: {
    baz: "bar updated me"
  }
}
