Usages

To use it you have to import it in your Form component. Then call it with the form_id.

And at the end, attach the handleSubmit function to the onSubmit event.

import { useForm } from "formbold-react";

function Form() {
  const [state, handleSubmit] = useForm("form_id");

  if (state.succeeded) {
    return <div>Form submitted successfully</div>;
  }

  return (
    <>
      <h1>Home Page</h1>
      <form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
        <label htmlFor="email">Email Address</label>
        <input id="email" type="email" name="email" required />
        <textarea id="message" name="message" required />
        <button type="submit">{state.submitting ? "Submitting..." : "Submit"}</button>

        <div>
          {state.error && state.error.message}
        </div>
      </form>
    </>
  );
}

export default Form;

Required fields

To make certain fields mandatory in your form, you can use the requiredFields option when using the useForm hook. In the example below, the email field is set as a required field:

const [state, handleSubmit] = useForm("form_id", { requiredFields: ["email"] });

This ensures that the form cannot be submitted unless the email field is filled out by the user.

Custom error messages

You can customize the error messages displayed when certain fields are not filled out in your form. By using the errorMessages option in the useForm hook, you can provide custom error messages for different scenarios.

Here's an example of how you can set custom error messages for the name and email fields:

const [state, handleSubmit] = useForm("form_id", {
  requiredFields: ["name", "email"],
  errorMessages: {
    empty: "Please fill the form!",
    required: fields => `Please fill the required fields: ${fields.join(", ")}`,
  }
});

Feel free to customize the error messages according to your specific requirements.
