react-native-typed-forms v0.0.2

React native typed forms

An UI forms library to make it easy to build forms with custom development behavior in react native

Installation

First you need to install

• react-native-svg
• react-native-svg-icon
• react-native-vector-icons

Then

npm install --save react-native-typed-forms

Or if using yarn

yarn add react-native-typed-forms

Usage

The main component of the library is the Form component, this component handles everything from displaying the form to handling the inner data of the form.

import { Form } from 'react-native-typed-form`

.
.
.
    <Form
        model={model}
        value={formData}
        onFinish={formFinished}
        disableAnswers
    />
.
.
.

Properties

On finish will provide a data value that can be provided AS IS to the value prop of the form, and the form itself will handle the data to preload the components.

*If you do not provide a value (that is, the value produced by the onFinish method after completing a form) it will always create a new blank form. Providing a value preloads with data from previous iterations.

**Extremely recommended to set as true always, this was an old mechanic that needs to be changed

Model

The model is the spec the lib will use to build the form, see the example for a more convoluted use, but basically it's the following:

{
  type: formTypes.form, // always
  answer: answerTypes.single, // answer types, multiple not docummented
  fields: {
    0: { // for now, indexes are required
      type: formTypes.string, // any of the form component types
      key: 'text_identifier', // key is required, has to be unique inside the form
      content: {
        text: 'This is a text field you can fill',
      },
      options: {
        placeHolder: 'Filler text',
        multiline: true,
        default: '',
      },
    },
  },
}

Each component has it's own unique content/options spec, which are due for documentation.

Example app

To run the example app

  - git clone this repo
  - cd example
  - npm install
  - react-native run-android

Windows users may need to run npx react-native run-android or similar commands to use the inner react-native cli instead of the proxy cli. Due to new issues with react-native 0.60.x unexpected behavior unrelated to the lib may happen, please inform me of those issues
