Simple-React-Native-Formik-Wizard

Introduction

I searched and searched but could not find it..!! I was busy looking for a react native package that could help with creating a multi-step formik and yup forms but i could not find one. Once i was convinced i could not find one, i sought to create it and make it available to others so that others after me could have their lives easier. So i created this library out of need, should you find it useful, that will put a smile on my face...

Installation

npm i @manatsa/simple-react-native-formik-wizard --save

Usage

The package uses its own input components, also included in the package. The availed input components are: the comprehensive list of available input components are listed below:

AppForm - the form component that wraps all other input components Props are:
1. initialValues - the initial values of the form, passed internally by the FormikStepper component.
2. validationSchema - Yup validationSchema passed internally by the FormikStepper Component.
3. onSubmit - The function to execute when next/save button is clicked, supplied internally by the FormikStepper component.
AppFormPicker - single select picker component. Its props are:
1. name * - the name of the variable that holds selected option, exactly as is in initialValues array.

Steps to take - below is an example

Create a parent component that will hold the data collected from the form. The component should also have a state variable eg. mergedValues and its setter function, say, setMergedValues.
Create an initalValues array of objects, each array element representing initialValues of a corresponding step.
Create an array of validationSchema objects, each element representing validation schema for a corresponding step.
Create the steps components, the ones that will be executed for each step in the multi-step form.
Create an object with keys 0...n where n is number-of-steps - 1, and values which are ReactNode references for each step.
Create an array of strings of discriptions/labels of each step (these descriptions are like labels to each step). The number of labels should tally with the number of steps.
create an onSubmit method that receives the final values as an object.

Example

create parent component and create a state variable and its setter.

 export default function Example(){
  const [mergedValues, setMergedValues] = useState({});
      ...
  }

Create an initalValues array of objects and validationSchema array:

const initialValues = [
  {
    fullName: "", // text field
    gender: "", // picker component
    category: 0, // Number input component
    isItTrue: false, // switch component
  },
  {
    progLang: [], // multiselect checkboxes
    hobby: "", //radio
  },
];

const validationSchema = [
  yup.object().shape({
    fullName: yup
      .string()
      .required("required")
      .test(
        "",
        "please enter fullname",
        (name: any) => name && name.split(" ").length > 1
      ),
    gender: yup.string().required("required"),
    category: yup.number().min(1, "Number to be positive"),
  }),
  yup.object().shape({
    progLang: yup.array().length(2, "Array must have at least 2 items"),
  }),
];

create step components using the provided input component wrappers (buttons, textfeld, radio buttons, etc. ), the step components should have exactly the following signature:

  import {
  FormikStepper, // main stepper component
  AppForm, // the form component that wraps all other input components
  AppFormPicker, // picker component
  AppFormNumberInput, // number input component
  AppFormField,  // simple text input component
  AppSubmitButtonSmall, // a small submit button component
  AppFormCheckBoxes, // component for multi-select checkboxes
  AppFormRadio, // compinent for checkboxes
  ...
  } from "@manatsa/simple-react-native-formik-wizard";


  const Step1 = ({ initValues, validationSchema, onNextStep, onBack }) => {
      const genderOptions = [
          { label: "Male", value: "0" },
          { label: "Female", value: "1" },
          { label: "Other", value: "2" },
      ];
      return (
          <AppForm
          initialValues={initValues}
          validationSchema={validationSchema}
          onSubmit={onNextStep}
          >
          <AppFormField name={"fullName"} label={"Your full name"} />
          <AppFormPicker
              name={"gender"}
              items={genderOptions}
              label={"select gender"}
              icon="none"
          />

          <AppFormSwitch name={"isItTrue"} label={"Accept Terms"} />
          <AppFormNumberInput name={"category"} label={"Select category number"} />

          <View
              style={{ width: "100%", alignItems: "flex-end", paddingHorizontal: 10 }}
          >
              <AppSubmitButtonSmall title={"Next"} /> // you can warp it inside a view to position it
          </View>
          </AppForm>
      );
  };

and then step 2:

const Step2 = ({ initValues, validationSchema, onNextStep, onBack }) => {
  const progLangOptions = [
    { label: "Javascript", value: "0" },
    { label: "Typescript", value: "1" },
    { label: "Java", value: "2" },
    { label: "VB.Net", value: "3" },
    { label: "C#", value: "4" },
    { label: "C++", value: "5" },
  ];
  const hobbiesOptions = [
    { label: "Music", value: "0" },
    { label: "Sports", value: "1" },
  ];
  return (
    <AppForm
      initialValues={initValues}
      validationSchema={validationSchema}
      onSubmit={onNextStep}
    >
      <AppFormCheckBoxes
        items={progLangOptions}
        label={"Select favorite Language"}
        name={"progLang"}
        callback={null}
      />
      <AppFormRadio
        items={hobbiesOptions}
        name={"hobby"}
        label={"Select hobby"}
        row="column"
      />

      <View
        style={{
          width: "100%",
          marginHorizontal: 30,
          flexDirection: "row",
          justifyContent: "space-around",
        }}
      >
        <AppButtonSmall title={"Back"} onPress={onBack} />
        <AppSubmitButtonSmall title={"Save"} />
      </View>
    </AppForm>
  );
};

create an object with ReactNode values:
```
const steps = { 0: Step1, 1: Step2 };
```

create an array of string labels:

const stepLabels = ["Step 1", "Step 2"];

create an onSubmit method that receives the final values as an object:
```
const submit = (values: []) => {
  console.log(values);
};
```

implement the return method of the parent component:

return (
  <FormikStepper
    steps={steps}
    stepLabels={stepLabels}
    initialValues={initialValues}
    validationSchema={validationSchema}
    mergedValues={mergedValues}
    setMergedValues={setMergedValues}
    onSubmit={submit}
  />
);

FormikStepper

component props:
1. steps * - an object with keys as numbers from 0..n and values as React native component to be executed for each step.
2. stepLabels * - an array of string labels for each step. Size of this array must be equal tolength of steps keys array.
3. InitialValues * - the array of objects of initial values corresponding to each step.
4. validationSchema * - the array of Yup validation schemas corresponding to each step.
5. mergedValues * - a state variable used for the internal working of the multi-step engine.
6. setMergedValues * - a mergedValues setter function/method,
7. onSubmit * - the function/method to execute when the form is ready for submission.

9. defaultStepColor - optional default color for steps (string)
10. completedStepNumberColor - optional color for completed steps numbers (string).
11. defaultStepNumberColor - optional default color for step numbers (string)
