Installation

# Substitute @forml/decorator-mui with your preferred decorator
npm i @forml/core @forml/decorator-mui

Usage

Basic usage is as follows:

import { SchemaForm } from '@forml/core';
import * as decorator from '@forml/decorator-mui';
import { useState } from 'react';

export function MyForm(props) {
    const [model, setModel] = useState('');
    const schema = { type: 'string', title: 'Sample Form' };
    const form = ['*'];

    return (
        <SchemaForm
            model={model}
            schema={schema}
            decorator={decorator}
            form={form}
            onChange={onChange}
        />
    );

    function onChange(event, model) {
        setModel(model);
    }
}

The example directory’s index.js uses SchemaForm both for the example selector and the example itself.

Customization

Custom mapped components can be provided. Look at mapper/index.js to see a list of supported object types. New types may be added and used by explicitly setting the form type.

Appearance/final rendering is handled by the decorator components. Currently a barebones (pure HTML) and MaterialUI decorators are provided.

Localization

forml supports localization via injection. To inject a localizer:

import { SchemaForm } from '@forml/core';
import * as decorator from '@forml/decorator-mui';
import { useTranslate } from 'react-i18next';
import { useState } from 'react';

export function MyTranslatedForm(props) {
    const [model, setModel] = useState({});
    const { t } = useTranslate();
    const schema = {
        type: 'object',
        properties: {
            key: {
                type: 'string',
                title: 'Titles are passed through getLocalizedString',
                description: 'Descriptions too',
            },
        },
    };

    const localizer = { getLocalizedString: t };

    return (
        <SchemaForm
            model={model}
            schema={schema}
            localizer={localizer}
            decorator={decorator}
            onChange={onChange}
        />
    );

    function onChange(event, model) {
        setModel(model);
    }
}
