React-easy-form NPM

react-easy-form

Easy forms for react 0.14+.

It uses React's context to allow form component to automatically update the form state.

Supports HTML5 form validation.

Demo & Examples

Live demo: geowarin.github.io/react-easy-form

To build the examples locally, run:

npm install
npm start

Then open localhost:8000 in a browser.

Installation

The easiest way to use react-easy-form is to install it from NPM and include it in your own React build process (using Browserify, Webpack, etc).

You can also use the standalone build by including dist/react-easy-form.js in your page. If you use this, make sure you have already included React, and it is available as a global variable.

npm install react-easy-form --save

Usage

Simple usage

import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import {Form, TextInput, Checkbox, Select, Label} from 'react-easy-form';

const values = ['1', '2', '3'];
const valuesMap = {
	1: 'one',
	2: 'two',
	3: 'three'
};

const initialData = {
	firstName: 'Jean',
	select: '2',
	selectMap: '2'
};

const App = () => (
			<Form initialData={initialData} onSubmit={(data) => console.log(data)}>

				<TextInput name="firstName" required/>
				<TextInput 	name="email" type="email"
							placeholder="Enter your address" required />
				<TextInput 	label="Country code" name="country" required
							pattern="[A-Za-z]{3}" title="Three letter country code" />

				<Label value="Select built with an array" position="before">
					<Select name="select" values={values}/>
				</Label>

				<Label value="Select built with an object (map)" position="after">
					<Select name="selectMap" values={valuesMap}/>
				</Label>

				<Checkbox name="check1" required />

				<button type="submit">Submit</button>
			</Form>
	);

ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('app'));

Example of Styling

The following example uses Pure forms

import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import {Form, TextInput, Checkbox, Select, Label} from 'react-easy-form';

const values = ['1', '2', '3'];
const initialData = {
	firstName: 'Jean',
	select: '2'
};

const LabeledInput = (props) => (
		<div className="pure-control-group">
			<Label value={props.label} position="before">
				<TextInput {...props}/>
			</Label>
		</div>
	);

const LabeledSelect = (props) => (
		<div className="pure-control-group">
			<Label value={props.label} position="before">
				<Select {...props}/>
			</Label>
		</div>
	);


const App = () => (
			<Form className="pure-form pure-form-aligned" initialData={initialData}
					onSubmit={(data) => console.log(data)}>

				<fieldset>
					<LabeledInput label="First Name" name="firstName" required/>
					<LabeledInput label="E-mail" placeholder="Enter your email"
								name="email" type="email" required/>

					<LabeledInput label="Country code" name="country" required
								pattern="[A-Za-z]{3}" title="Three letter country code" />

					<LabeledSelect label="Select from array" name="select" values={values}/>

					<div className="pure-controls">
						<Label className="pure-checkbox">
							<Checkbox name="agree" title="Accept TOS" required/> Agree
						</Label>

						<button className="pure-button pure-button-primary" type="submit">Submit</button>
					</div>
				</fieldset>
			</Form>
		);

ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('app'));

Calling submit programmatically

You can call the submission of the form in javascript. This will still trigger validation of the inputs.

<Form ref="myForm">
</Form>

...

this.refs.myForm.submit()

Development (`src`, `lib` and the build process)

NOTE: The source code for the component is in src. A transpiled CommonJS version (generated with Babel) is available in lib for use with node.js, browserify and webpack. A UMD bundle is also built to dist, which can be included without the need for any build system.

To build, watch and serve the examples (which will also watch the component source), run npm start. If you just want to watch changes to src and rebuild lib, run npm run watch (this is useful if you are working with npm link).
