TextInput validation not triggering during typing(onChange).

[david-hov]

I tried all modes and revalidate values

What you were expecting:
e.g. Validate first name, when inserted dash immediatly show error message.

What happened instead:
only when onBlur, even when I put onChange mode or all, it only triggers when onBlur, but need real time validation to show missing or wrong elements to user.

Steps to reproduce:

Related code:

<SimpleForm
      onSubmit={handleSubmit}
      className='sign-up-form'
      validate={(values) =>
          validateSignUpFirstStep(values,
              timerId,
              setEmailChecked,
              setInputDisabled,
              email,
              setTimerId)
      }
      mode='all'
      reValidateMode='onChange'
      style={{ padding: '0' }}
      toolbar={<CustomToolbar />}
>
          <div className='names-fields'>
              <TextInput className='first-name' variant='outlined' validate={required()} fullWidth source='firstName' label='First Name' />
              <TextInput variant='outlined' validate={required()} fullWidth source='lastName' label='Last Name' />
        </div>
</SimpleForm>

Go to Posts and create, need to trigger during typing validation but only trigger when onblur

But when blur and again focus it's starting working.
Now for temporary solution for me was to set on every TextInput
onChange={(e: any) => {
e.target.blur();
e.target.focus();
}
to show error runtime.
but mode='onChange' or mode='all' should handle that.

As I can not see any answeres, I created seperate function which I call like this
<TextInput onInput={validateOnType} source='email' validate={[required('This field is required'), validateInput]}/>
---and validateOnType function like this---

export const validateOnType = (e: any) => {
    // react-hook-form issue, temporary workaround
    if (e.target.value.length === 1) {
        e.target.blur();
        e.target.focus();
    }
}

which only triggered when first letter/symbol/number... entered.

Confirmed, thanks for the report.

Isn't it because you have both form level and input level validation? react-hook-form does not support both on the same form, as explained in our documentation (https://marmelab.com/react-admin/Validation.html):

no as you can see I am usin only global validation , you can see in sandbox
as documentation says
{/*
We need to add validate={required()} on required fields to append a '*' symbol
to the label, but the real validation still happens in validateUserCreation
*/}
