Package Exports

use-state-validate

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (use-state-validate) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Summary

This package contains a custom hook that blends useState and field validation. useStateValidate is focused on the validation of single state values in your form and does not try to handle all of the form logic. My motivation was to create a clean and terse pattern for dealing with state validation in react. There are MANY libraries and packages out there, but none have resonated with me just yet. So here we are... Enjoy and I hope this helps you in your next project. Please reach out to me or throw an issue on my gitlab if you have any troubles 😀

Also, please consult validate at https://www.npmjs.com/package/validate for possible rules to use.

Hook Signature

const [<valueWrapped>, <setValue>, <cleanValue>] = useStateValidate(<initialValue>, <rules>)


`valueWrapped`	An object containing the raw value and validation data, use `<valueWrapped>`.`value` to get the value
`setValue`	Set function, that behaves like `useState`. PLEASE PASS THE RAW VALUE HERE, not a wrapper like object!
`cleanValue`	Function to clean the dirty flag. The dirty flag defaults to false, but is set to true if `setValue` is invoked
`initialValue`	The initial value to start with
`rules`	A mostly flat object using rules found at https://www.npmjs.com/package/validate

Rule Examples

{
  "required": true,
  "size": { "min": 8, "max": 255 },
  "message": {
    "required": "Your field is required please",
    "size": "Use between 8 and 255 characters please"
  }
}

{
  "match": /^(?=.*\d)(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*[a-zA-Z]).{8,}$/,
  "message": {
    "match": "Pass my crazy regex!"
  }
}

Example of `valueWrapped`, showing the validation data object

{
  "value": "value of field",
  "isDirty": false,
  "isValid": false,
  "errorMessages": [
    "Error Message 1",
    "Error Message 2"
  ]
}

Basic Usage

import React from "react";
import useStateValidate from "use-state-validate";

const Component: React.FC = () => {
  const [name, setName, cleanName] = useStateValidate("Ray Finkle", {
    required: true
    match: /[a-zA-Z ]/
    message: {
      required: "You must enter a name!",
      match: "Please use only letters",
    }
  });
  return (
    <section>
      <label> Name:
        <span>{name.value}</span>
      </label>
      <hr />
      <input value={name.value} onChange={(evt) => setName(evt.target.value)}/>
      <button onClick={cleanName}>Clean it</button>
      <hr />
      <div> ⬇️ Show Me the Data! ⬇️ </div>
      <pre>{JSON.stringify(name, null, 2)}</pre>
    </section>
  );
};
