yup-field-props-react v1.0.0-beta.3

yup-field-props-react

A React library to simplify the collection of validation properties of a Yup schema field.

Description

yup-field-props-react is a library that helps you collect form field properties in React applications using Yup schemas. It provides the useFieldProps hook and SchemaProvider component to easily integrate Yup schema definitions into your form components, with the schema as the single source of truth. While this is possible with yup out of the box, yup-field-props-react simplifies the process.

Installation

To install the library:

npm install yup-field-props-react

useFieldProps hook

Use the useFieldProps hook to pickup the validation properties of the field based on the schema and current values

import { useFieldProps } from 'yup-field-props-react'

const { min, max, integer, ...others } = useFieldProps('path.to.field')

SchemaProvider component

Use SchemaProvider componet to provide the validation schema and current form values to be used by useFieldProps

import { SchemaProvider } from 'yup-field-props-react'

const schema = yup.object().shape({
  /* etc... */
})
const formValues = getFormValuesFromSomewhere()

return (
  <SchemaProvider schema={schema} values={formValues}>
    {children}
  </SchemaProvider>
)

Simple practical example

import { useState, InputHTMLAttributes } from 'react'
import * as yup from 'yup'
import {
  NumberFieldProps,
  SchemaProvider,
  useFieldProps,
} from 'yup-field-props-react'

const schema = yup.object().shape({
  minSize: yup.number().moreThan(1).lessThan(yup.ref('maxSize')).required(),
  maxSize: yup.number().moreThan(yup.ref('minSize')).required(),
  testString: yup
    .string()
    .min(yup.ref('minSize'))
    .max(yup.ref('maxSize'))
    .required(),
})

const NumberInput = (props: InputHTMLAttributes<HTMLInputElement>) => {
  const fieldPropsResult = useFieldProps<NumberFieldProps>(props.name || '')
  const { required, min, max, lessThan, moreThan } = fieldPropsResult
  const minMsg = min ? `Min ${min}` : moreThan ? `More than ${moreThan}` : ''
  const maxMsg = max ? `Max ${max}` : lessThan ? `Less than ${lessThan}` : ''
  const placeholder = [minMsg, maxMsg].filter(Boolean).join(' and ')

  return (
    <input
      {...props}
      style={{ display: 'block', width: 250 }}
      required={required}
      placeholder={placeholder}
    />
  )
}

const MyForm = () => {
  const [values, setValues] = useState({ minSize: 1, maxSize: 100 })

  const onChange = (e: React.ChangeEvent<HTMLInputElement>) => {
    setValues({ ...values, [e.target.name]: e.target.value })
  }

  return (
    <SchemaProvider schema={schema} values={values}>
      <NumberInput
        name="minSize"
        type="number"
        value={values.minSize}
        onChange={onChange}
      />
      <NumberInput
        name="maxSize"
        type="number"
        value={values.maxSize}
        onChange={onChange}
      />
    </SchemaProvider>
  )
}

export default MyForm
