I'm trying to create a redux form (using redux-form) that can dynamically create it's own inputs. I am having trouble figuring out how to make redux-form aware of the new fields that have been created. Is it possible to dynamically change the fields prop that redux-form passes in within the form component itself? Am I thinking about this wrong? Here is what I am working with.
class AddCustomer extends Component {
render() {
class Form extends Component {
constructor(props, context) {
super(props, context)
this.state = {
inputsToAdd: []
};
}
handleAddInput() {
let inputsToAdd = this.state.inputsToAdd.slice();
inputsToAdd.push(this.state.inputsToAdd.length);
this.setState({ inputsToAdd });
}
submitForm(data) {
console.log(data)
this.setState({inputsToAdd: []});
this.props.dispatch(initialize('addCustomer', {}))
}
render() {
const { fields, handleSubmit } = this.props;
return (
<div>
<form onSubmit={handleSubmit(this.submitForm.bind(this))}>
<Input type='text' label='Company name' {...fields['companyName']}/>
<Input type='email' label='Admin user email' {...fields['adminEmail']}/>
</form>
{this.state.inputsToAdd.map((element, index) => {
return (
<Input key={index} type='text' />
)
})}
<Button onClick={() => this.handleAddInput()}>Add Input</Button>
<Button onClick={handleSubmit(this.submitForm.bind(this))}>Submit</Button>
</div>
)
}
}
Form = connectReduxForm({
form: 'addCustomer',
fields: ['companyName', 'adminEmail']
})(Form);
return (
<div>
<h1>Add Customer</h1>
<Form />
</div>
)
}
}
pristine means that no fields in the form have been modified yet. Perhaps you won't be able to find an exact definition of it in docs, but there is a similar terminology in Angular. You can find some details here or here. submitting , as the name suggests, means that the form is in process of submitting.
The FieldArray component is how you render an array of fields. It works a lot like Field . With Field , you give a name , referring to the location of the field in the Redux state, and a component to render the field, which is given the props to connect the field to the Redux state.
There is no “right” answer for this. Some users prefer to keep every single piece of data in Redux, to maintain a fully serializable and controlled version of their application at all times.
As of Redux Form 6.* you can achieve what you are trying to do using <FieldArray/>
See the example below (taken from Redux documentation and slightly simplified)
import React from 'react'
import { Field, FieldArray, reduxForm } from 'redux-form'
import validate from './validate'
const renderMembers = ({ fields, meta: { touched, error } }) => (
<ul>
<li>
<button type="button" onClick={() => fields.push({})}>Add Member</button>
{touched && error && <span>{error}</span>}
</li>
{fields.map((member, index) =>
<li key={index}>
<button
type="button"
title="Remove Member"
onClick={() => fields.remove(index)}/>
<h4>Member #{index + 1}</h4>
<Field
name={`${member}.firstName`}
type="text"
component={renderField}
label="First Name"/>
<Field
name={`${member}.lastName`}
type="text"
component={renderField}
label="Last Name"/>
</li>
)}
</ul>
)
const FieldArraysForm = (props) => {
const { handleSubmit, submitting } = props
return (
<form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
<FieldArray name="members" component={renderMembers}/>
<div>
<button type="submit" disabled={submitting}>Submit</button>
</div>
</form>
)
}
export default reduxForm({
form: 'fieldArrays', // a unique identifier for this form
validate
})(FieldArraysForm)
