Reset a Form with custom Form Fields

[digitalkaoz]

How can i achieve a form reset?

do i need refs on all of my fields?

i can set a new formValue on the root of the form-tree, but the form fields dont reset their values

Setting a new formValue should reset the form. Can you show your code?

[digitalkaoz]

yes. here the relevant part

import React from 'react'
import TimeField from '../TimeField/TimeField';

const SCHEMA = {
    type: 'object',
    required: [
        'start',
        'end'
    ],
    properties: {
        start: {type: 'string', pattern: /^([0-9]|0[0-9]|1[0-9]|2[0-3]):[0-5][0-9]$/},
        end: {type: 'string', pattern: /^([0-9]|0[0-9]|1[0-9]|2[0-3]):[0-5][0-9]$/},
        break: {type: "string", pattern: /^$|(^([0-9]|0[0-9]|1[0-9]|2[0-3]):[0-5][0-9])$/}
    }
};

class Form extends React.Component {

    constructor(props) {
        super(props);

        let formValue = createValue({
            value: props.value,
            onChange: this.onChange.bind(this),
            schema: SCHEMA
        });

        this.state = {formValue}
    }

    onChange(formValue) {
        this.setState({formValue})
    }

    onReset() {
        let formValue = createValue({
            value: {},
            onChange: this.onChange.bind(this),
            schema: SCHEMA
        });

        this.setState({formValue});
    }

    render() {
        return (
            <Fieldset formValue={this.state.formValue}>
                    <TimeField select="start" label="Start Time"  />
                    <TimeField select="break" label="Break" />
                    <TimeField select="end" label="End Time"  />
                    <button onClick={this.onReset.bind(this)}>reset</button>
            </Fieldset>
        )
    }
}

export Form

import React from 'react'
import {withFormValue, ErrorList} from 'react-forms'

class Field extends React.Component {

    constructor(props) {
        super(props);
        let {formValue} = this.props;
    }

    render() {
        return (
            <div>
                <input type="text" id={this.props.select} value={this.props.formValue.value} onChange={this.onChange.bind(this)} placeholder="HH:mm"/>
                <label >{this.props.label}</label>
                <ErrorList formValue={this.state.value} />
            </div>
        )
    }

    onChange = (e) => this.props.formValue.update(e.target.value)
}

export default withFormValue(Field);

it resets the form somehow, but the input fields still display values. tried it with default fields and my custom one

At first glance you need to change this.props.onReset to just this.onReset

I had a look in more detail and looks like there is a bug with the Input component and its debounce behavior combined with setting form values as undefined. I've never tried to reset a form before so I've never run into this issue.

A simple workaround is to reset the fields as you expect with empty values:

let formValue = createValue({
  value: {
    start: null,
    end: null,
    break: null,
  },
  onChange: this.onChange.bind(this),
  schema: SCHEMA
});

@ifunk this doesnt change it correctly. the app is hosted here: time-calc.digitalkaoz.net and the source is here https://github.com/digitalkaoz/time-calc

or you can run it with docker: docker run --rm -p 3001:3001 digitalkaoz/time-calc.digitalkaoz.net

as i said the form seems somehow resetted, but the values are still displayed...

[ifunk]

You must set values to null instead of undefined in your reducer.

        case RESET_CALCULATION:
            return Object.assign({}, state, {
                current: {
                    start: null,
                    end: null,
                    duration: null,
                    break: null
                }
            });

mh yes that works, but then i get a pattern mismatch error as

''.match(/^$|(^([0-9]|0[0-9]|1[0-9]|2[0-3]):[0-5][0-9])$/) fails.

setting the values to undefined the error is correctly required but the displayed value is not removed.

so both options halfway correctly :)

Ahh ok. I don't use schema validation so I'm not sure I can help you there. You can apply your own validation using the externalErrorList param on createValue which is what I use when applying server-side and client-side validation.
