formkit

Smart form helper. It's framework agnostic.

Install

npm install formkit

Usage

There is example of common usage without any frameworks.

import formkit from 'formkit';

const validate = (errors, values) => {
  if (!values.firstname) errors.firstname = 'Required';
};

// get new form instance
const form = formkit.newForm();
// initialize form fields
form.init([
  'firstname',
], validate);

const submitHandler = (values) => console.log('The form has submittes with', values);
form.onSubmit(submitHandler);

// change field's value
form.fields.firstname.handleChange('my new name');

console.log(form.fields.firstname.dirty)        // false - field is different with previously saved state
console.log(form.fields.firstname.touched)      // true - field was dirty at least once since form has initialized.
console.log(form.fields.firstname.valid)        // true
console.log(form.fields.firstname.invalidMsg)   // '' - message which sets in validate function

// emit submit event - "submitHandler" will be called
form.handleSubmit();

To use in your favorite framework you have to call field's handleChange method after each field changes. And call fom.handleSubmit() submit on form submit if submitting is using. In other hand you can add handler on form saving form.onSave(callback) to save form's state after field change.
