# <ApolloForm>   
*Build React forms based on GraphQL APIs.*
-----------------
## The library is currently under active rewriting, please [see this ticket](https://github.com/wittydeveloper/react-apollo-form/issues/31) for updates
-----------------
-------------------------
### To get started more easily, please read [Getting started: build a GraphQL Form in 5 minutes](https://github.com/wittydeveloper/react-apollo-form/wiki/Getting-started:-build-a-GraphQL-Form-in-5-minutes)
-------------------------
## Pre-requisites
- `apollo-codegen` (globally)
- `react@^15`
- `react-apollo@^15`
*Optionally*
- `typescript@^2.8.4`
-------------------------
## Installation
### Install package
- install `yarn add react-apollo-form`
### Add script to your project
- add to your `package.json`, at the `scripts` section :
```json
{
"scripts": {
"react-apollo-form": "react-apollo-form fetch-mutations "
}
}
```
This script will generated 3 files needed by ``:
- `schema.json` (GraphQL Introspection Query result as JSON)
- `mutations.d.ts` (all available mutations names as TypeScript type definition)
- `apollo-form-json-schema.json` (GraphQL Schema as JSON Schema)
*Tips: you can change the output directory of theses with the second argument or `-o` option*
-------------------------
## Usage
Once the files generated, we can setup a Form.
```ts
import * as React from 'react';
import gql from 'graphql-tag';
import { configure } from 'react-apollo-form';
import { client } from './apollo';
import { applicationFormTheme } from './core/forms/themes/application';
const jsonSchema = require('./core/apollo-form-json-schema.json');
export const ApplicationForm = configure({
// tslint:disable-next-line:no-any
client: client as any,
jsonSchema,
theme: applicationFormTheme
});
```
-------------------------
## API
`ApolloForm` is based on the amazing Mozilla library [react-jsonschema-form](https://github.com/mozilla-services/react-jsonschema-form).
Most of the questions regarding JSON Schema, validations or rendering are in [react-jsonschema-form documentation](https://github.com/mozilla-services/react-jsonschema-form)

- [Conditional fields](https://github.com/wittydeveloper/react-apollo-form/wiki/Conditional-fields)
- [Form rendering customisation](https://github.com/wittydeveloper/react-apollo-form/wiki/Form-Rendering-customisation-with-renderers)
- [Add RegExp constraint to a field](https://github.com/wittydeveloper/react-apollo-form/wiki/Add-regex-constraints-to-a-field)
- [Error messages customization](https://github.com/wittydeveloper/react-apollo-form/wiki/Error-messages-customisation)
-------------------------
## Q&A
- **Can I make `ApolloForm` works with many GraphQL endpoints?**
*Yes, just setup multiple scripts in your project `package.json` with one output folder per endpoint,
then just configure a "component form" for each endpoint*
- **Where can I find some documentation about `widgets`, `fields` or theming in general?**
*Please take a look at the [react-jsonschema-form](https://github.com/mozilla-services/react-jsonschema-form) documentation that will answers 90% of the rendering questions.
If not, please take a look at [Theming](https://github.com/wittydeveloper/react-apollo-form/wiki/Theming)*
-------------------------
## Architecture
### General
The idea is to build forms using mutations from the GraphQL API.
`ApolloForm` is "just" a wrapper around [react-jsonschema-form](https://github.com/mozilla-services/react-jsonschema-form).
It brings some "embed" features:
- JSON schema generation from GraphQL Schema
- conditionals forms
- form rendering customisation with `render props`
- build JSON Schema with functions (with [functional-json-schema](https://github.com/wittydeveloper/functional-json-schema))
### GraphQL to JSON Schema
See [graphql-2-json-schema](https://github.com/wittydeveloper/graphql-to-json-schema) package.
