Getting Started

API Documentation Examples

Are you looking for a simple way to create validated forms with React?

Congratulations! Your search is over, because @cat-react/form offers you a simple way to create either frontend- or backend-validated forms. Validations can either be processed synchronous or asynchronous and the state of the form is being refreshed in real time.

Take a look at the examples to find out how to create the form of your desire.

<Form>     <MyInput name="email"              validations={{                  isEmail: true,                  isRequired: true              }}/>     <MyInput name="email_confirm"              validations={{                  isRequired: true,                  equalsField: 'email'              }}              messages={{                  isRequired: 'Please confirm your email address.',                  equalsField: 'The email addresses do not match each other.'              }}/> </Form>

Example Custom TextInput

Here you can see an example of an custom TextInput which shows how you can implement your own Inputs:

import React from 'react'; import {Input} from '@cat-react/form'  @Input export default class BasicInput extends React.Component {     onChange(event) {         this.props.setValue(event.target.value);     }      getClassName() {         let className = 'form-control';         if (!this.props.isPristine()) {             if (this.props.isValid()) {                 const isWarning = this.props.getMessages().length > 0;                 if (isWarning) {                     className += ' warning';                 }             } else {                 className += ' error';             }         }         return className;     }      renderMessages() {         let messages = [];         if (!this.props.isPristine()) {             messages = this.props.getMessages();         }          if (!messages || messages.length <= 0) {             return null;         }          let className = 'errorText';         if (this.props.isValid()) {             className = 'warningText';         }          return <ul className={className}>{messages.map((message, i) => <li key={i}>{message}</li>)}</ul>;     }      render() {         return (             <div className="form-group">                 <label htmlFor={this.props.name}>{this.props.label} {this.props.isRequired() ? '*' : null}</label>                 <input type={this.props.type}                        className={this.getClassName()}                        id={this.props.name}                        aria-describedby={this.props.name}                        placeholder={this.props.placeholder}                        value={this.props.getValue()}                        onChange={this.onChange.bind(this)}                        onBlur={this.props.touch}/>                 {this.renderMessages()}             </div>         );     } }

Note: You need the babel-plugin-transform-decorators plugin to use the @Input decorator. If you don't want or cannot add this plugin to you webpack config you need to use the HOC as a function (like the connect() HOC of Redux).

Example: export default Input(BasicInput)

See the Babel Documentation for a detailed guide about how to add decorators to your application.
