React Validation

Demo: https://trendmicro-frontend.github.io/react-validation

Installation

1. Install the latest version of react and react-validation:

   npm install --save react @trendmicro/react-validation

2. Install react-validation with @trendmicro scope:

   import {
       createForm, createFormControl,
       Form, Input, Select, Textarea
   } from '@trendmicro/react-validation';

Note: Validator.js is a library for validating and sanitizing strings. It can save your time when writing validation functions. Check out a list of available validators at https://github.com/chriso/validator.js#validators.

Usage

First, define your own validation functions, like so:

validations.jsx

import isEmail from 'validator/lib/isEmail';

const Error = (props) => (
    <div {...props} style={{ color: '#A94442' }} />
);

export const email = (value, props, components) => {
    if (!isEmail(value)) {
        return (
            <Error>{`${value} is not a valid email.`}</Error>
        );
    }
};

export const required = (value, props, components) => {
    value = ('' + value).trim();
    if (!value) {
        return (
            <Error>{'This field is required.'}</Error>
        );
    }
};

To validate an component, pass an array of validation functions with the validations prop:

<Input type="text" name="email" validations={[required, email]} />

Let's put it all together:

<Form>
    <div className="form-group">
        <label>{'E-mail*'}</label>
        <Input type="email" name="email" className="form-control" validations={[required, email]} />
    </div>
    <div className="form-group">
        <label>{'Password*'}</label>
        <Input type="password" name="password" className="form-control" validations={[required]} />
    </div>
    <div className="form-group">
        <label>{'Gender*'}</label>
        <Select name="gender" value="" className="form-control" validations={[required]}>
            <option value="">Select your gender</option>
            <option value="male">Male</option>
            <option value="female">Female</option>
        </Select>
    </div>
    <div className="form-group">
        <label>{'Description'}</label>
        <Textarea name="description" validations={[]} />
    </div>
</Form>

Creating Custom Components

Instead of using built-it components, you can use createForm and createFormControl to wrap your own components:

import { createForm, createFormControl } from '@trendmicro/react-validation';

// Form component
const Form = (props) => (
    <form {...props} />
);

// Input component
const Input = ({ error, blurred, changed, ...props }) => (
    <div>
        <input {...props} />
        {blurred && changed && error}
    </div>
);

const MyForm = createForm()(Form);
const MyInput = createFormControl()(Input);

createForm(options)(component)

Arguments

• options (Object): The options object.
• options.onValidate (Function): An error-first callback to be called on validation.
• component (Node): The component to be wrapped.

createFormControl(options)(component)

• options (Object): The options object.
• component (Node): The component to be wrapped.
