# React Hook Form Generator

A [React](https://reactjs.org/) component to quickly and easily generate forms from object schema. Built with [React Hook Form](https://react-hook-form.com/) and [Chakra UI](https://chakra-ui.com/).

## Live Demo

[Storybook](https://fionncasey.github.io/react-hook-form-generator/)

---

## Installation

This package requires chakra-ui and react-hook-form as peer dependencies

```shell
npm install react-hook-form-generator
npm install @chakra-ui/core @emotion/core @emotion/styled emotion-theming
npm install react-hook-form
```

---

## Usage

```javascript
// MyForm.js
import React from 'react';
import { Form } from 'react-hook-form-generator';

const schema = {
firstName: {
type: 'text',
label: 'First Name',
isRequired: true,
},
age: {
type: 'number',
label: 'Number',
},
contacts: {
type: 'array',
label: 'Contacts',
itemField: {
type: 'object',
properties: {
firstName: {
type: 'text',
label: 'First Name',
},
phoneNumber: {
type: 'text',
label: 'Phone Number',
htmlInputType: 'tel',
},
},
},
},
};

const MyForm = () => {
const handleSubmit = values => {
// Do something
};

return ;
};
```

This package uses Chakra UI for default styles so you need to wrap the form in a ThemeProvider

```javascript
// App.js
import React from 'react';
import { CSSReset, ThemeProvider } from '@chakra-ui/core';
import MyForm from './MyForm';

const App = () => (




);
```

---

## Styling

Chakra UI [style props](https://chakra-ui.com/style-props) can be passed in as global styles for an a group of components (e.g. all text input fields) or on an individual field basis

```javascript
// Global style method

```

```javascript
// Individual fields method

```

Individual styles will be merged with global styles and take priority

---

## Validation

React Hook Form [schema validation](https://www.react-hook-form.com/advanced-usage#SchemaValidation) and other methods are forwarded through the `formOptions` property on the `Form` component
