const { values, errors, setValues, setErrors, onChange, wrapChange, wrapSubmit } = useForm(options);Return
| Name | Input/Output | Description |
|---|---|---|
values | { name: value } | Object containing values of each input by name. |
errors | { name: string[] } | Object containing errors of each input by name. |
onChange | (event) => void (value, name) => void ({ [name]: value }) => void | Function that handles input changes. |
wrapChange | (onChange) => void | Wrapper function to have custom control over input change before value gets passed to useForm for handling. |
wrapSubmit | ((values) => void) => void | Wrapper function to have custom control over input change before value gets passed to useForm for handling. |
setValues | ({ [name]: value }) => void | Function to update values. |
setErrors | ({ [name]: string[] }) => void | Function to update errors. Commonly used in wrapSubmit to set errors sent from server. |
Options
defaults?: Object containing input defualt values. When not provided, initial value for each input will beundefinedsometimes making inputs uncontrolled. To avoid that, it is recomended to setdefaults,defaultValueon html inputs or set defaultvalueparamater on custom components.schema: Valid schema for fastest-validator.
Typescript
When using forms with different input and output values you should also provide FormOutput types because fastest-validator unfortunately can't convert them using schema.

export interface FormInput {
age: string;
}
export interface FormOutput {
age: number;
}
const Form: FC = () => {
const { values, onChange, wrapSubmit } = useForm<FormInput, FormOutput>({
schema,
defaults: {
age: "",

const onSubmit = wrapSubmit(async (values) => {});
return (
<form onSubmit={onSubmit}>
<input name="age" placeholder="Age" value={values.age} onChange={onChange} />
