ShapeForm

👋 Welcome

Thanks for checking out ShapeForm! First announced at the 8/20 Reactadelphia Meetup this code has been freshly ripped from our React App and open sourced to the community. Check out @asprouse's presentation (slides, video) detailing how we decided to build our own form solution. Give ShapeForm a whirl and let us know what you think or open a PR.

✨ Features

• 💪JSON Schema validation - Easily share the same form validation frontend and backend
• 💧Nested Object / Array support with Drag and Drop
• ⚡️Fast - Pure components for fast rendering even with large forms
• 🗃Redux / Standalone state management - Choose your own adventure
• 💅Custom widgets - Widgets are simply React components
• 🚀Form reducers - Useful for async validation, data normalization, the sky is the limit
• 👯‍♀️Multi-Part Forms - Multiple form components can edit the same form data. Useful for complex layouts or mult-step forms

🚀 Installation

npm install --save shape-form

or

yarn add shape-form

🎓 Documentation

ShapeForm can be used with or without your own redux store.

BYO Redux: Setup your store with the shape-form reducer and saga

// store.js
import {createStore as createReduxStore, applyMiddleware, compose, combineReducers} from 'redux';
import createSagaMiddleware, {END} from 'redux-saga';
import {createFormReducer, formSaga} from 'shape-form';

const sagaMiddleware = createSagaMiddleware();

const enhancer = compose(
  applyMiddleware(sagaMiddleware),
  window.devToolsExtension ? window.devToolsExtension() : f => f
);

const formReducer = combineReducers({
  // ...your reducers
  shapeForm: createFormReducer()
});

export function createStore(initialState) {
  const store = createReduxStore(formReducer, initialState, enhancer);
  sagaMiddleware.run(formSaga);
  store.close = () => store.dispatch(END);
  return store;
}

Build your form using JSON schema

// App.js
import React from 'react';
import {ShapeForm, SubmitButton} from 'shape-form';
import {Provider} from 'react-redux';

import './App.css';

import {createStore} from './store';

const schema = {
  type: "object",
  properties: {
      fullName: {
          title: "Full Name",
          type: "string",
      },
      email: {
          title: "Email",
          type: "string",
          format: "email",
      },
      newsletter: {
          title: "Sign up for our newsletter",
          type: "boolean",
      },
  },
  required: ["fullName", "email"],
};

function App() {
  return (
    <div className="App">
      <Provider store={createStore()}>
        <ShapeForm formName="simple" schema={schema} />
        <SubmitButton formName="simple" />
      </Provider>
    </div>
  );
}

export default App;

Use with the included provider

// App.js
import React from 'react';
import {ShapeFormProvider, ShapeForm, SubmitButton} from 'shape-form';

import './App.css';

const schema = {
  type: "object",
  properties: {
      fullName: {
          title: "Full Name",
          type: "string",
      },
      email: {
          title: "Email",
          type: "string",
          format: "email",
      },
      newsletter: {
          title: "Sign up for our newsletter",
          type: "boolean",
      },
  },
  required: ["fullName", "email"],
};

function App() {
  return (
    <div className="App">
      <h1>ShapeForm</h1>
      <ShapeFormProvider>
        <ShapeForm formName="simple" schema={schema} />
        <br />
        <SubmitButton formName="simple" />
      </ShapeFormProvider>
    </div>
  );
}

export default App;

🛣️ Roadmap

• ES6 -> TypeScript
• Move Material UI dependency into it's own widget package
• Switch from Immutable.js to immer
• Upgrade React DnD
• Convert Redux Saga to a standalone middleware
• Better support non-Redux users
• Explore BYO JSON Schema validation
• Custom field serialization/deserialization
