Validations React

React bindings for Universal Validations, to use validations also in React applications.

Install

npm install @universal-packages/validations-react

Validations react uses exclusively teh react hooks API so make sure you are using a recent version of React.

Hooks

`useValidation(attributes: Object, Validation: ValidationClass)`

It validates the attributes every time they change, and returns the validation result. The values when first called the hook will be considered as the initial values.

import { useValidation } from '@universal-packages/validations-react'

import FormValidation from './FormValidation'

const HappyComponent = () => {
  const [name, setName] = useState('david')
  const validation = useValidation({ name }, FormValidation)

  const handleSubmit = () => {
    if (validation.isValid) {
      api.post('/users', { name }).then((data) => {
        if (data.status === 'success') {
          console.log('User created')
        } else {
          // Now we know the backend does not like the current name value so wer do not admit it again
          // In other words we do not send the same request again
          validation.setKnownErrors({ name: [data.validation.errors.name] })
        }
      })
    } else {
      validation.setShowErrors(true)
    }
  }

  return (
    <div>
      <input value={name} onChange={(e) => setName(e.target.value)} />
      <button onClick={handleSubmit}>Submit</button>
      {!validation.isValid && validation.showErrors && (
        <div>
          {validation.errors.name.map((error) => (
            <span>{error}</span>
          ))}
        </div>
      )}
    </div>
  )
}
