Build model based simple forms for React Native
- Generate Cross platform mobile form fields on react native
- Ability to track the state and values
- Load the form with predefined values
- Support nested forms and validations
- react-native-form0
- Objective
- Getting Started
npm i react-native-form0 --save
- Define the form schema as json
[
{
"type": "text",
"name": "user_name",
"required": true,
"label": "Username"
},
{
"type": "email",
"name": "email",
"required": true,
"label": "Email"
}
]
- Load the form schema in a react application
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { Platform, StyleSheet, Text, View, ScrollView } from 'react-native';
import Form0 from "react-native-form0";
import { Button } from 'native-base';
export default class App extends Component {
render() {
const fields = require("./schema/form0.json");
return (
<ScrollView>
<Form0 fields={fields}
ref={(c) => {
this.formGenerator = c;
}} />
<View styles={styles.container}>
<Button onPress={() => console.log(this.formGenerator.getValues())}><Text>Submit</Text></Button>
<Button onPress={() => this.formGenerator.resetForm()}><Text>Clear Form</Text></Button>
</View>
</ScrollView>
);
}
}
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
container: {
flex: 1,
flexDirection: 'row',
backgroundColor: '#F5FCFF',
justifyContent: 'space-between'
}
});
| Prop | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| fields | array | required | Array of form fields |
| errorComponent | React Component | N/A | Error display component |
| formData | object | N/A | form values |
Fetch the data from the form.
{
"data_source" : "test",
"prospect_name" : "sharath"
}
Set the values of fields in the form. Ensure that the object setting the values has same name as form field name
{
"data_source" : "test",
"prospect_name" : "sharath"
}
Reset the form, clears data and errors
Field is the basic unit of the form which generates an UI components. The basic structure of the field is
{
"type" : "text",
"name" : "",
"label": ""
...
}
The common properties for all the fields are :

- Array of Strings
["Option 1", "Option 2, "Option 3"]
- Array of Objects
"options": [
{
"user_id": 1,
"user_name": "Sharath"
},
{
"user_id": 2,
"user_name": "Rabindra"
},
{
"user_id": 3,
"user_name": "Nitheesh"
}
],
- String
If the options are array of strings
["Option 1", "Option 3"]
- Object If options are array of objects
defaultValue : [
{
"user_id": 3,
"user_name": "Nitheesh"
}
]
{ type: lookup }
Lookup is similar to select. Lookup is useful is auto-populating data from the master data. e.g if there is a master data of users, then lookup can be used to select the user and then other reference fields will be auto populated
see the example 10-lookup.json (https://github.com/sharathchandramg/react-native-formo/blob/master/example/sampleformo/schema/10-lookup.json)
| Prop | Type | Default | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| multiple | bool | false | No | Allow single or multiple selection |
| objectType | string | false | No | Minimum date in datepicker |
| labelKey | string | N/A | Yes, if Object Type is true | To define the key which value need to be used as label. |
| primaryKey | string | N/A | Yes, if Object Type is true | To define the key which is unique in all objects. |
| options | string | N/A | Yes | To define the key which is unique in all objects. |
- Array of Strings
["Option 1", "Option 2, "Option 3"]

"options": [
{
"user_id": 1,
"user_name": "Sharath",
"email" : "[email protected]",
"phone" : "1234567890"
},
{
"user_id": 2,

"phone" : "1234567890"
},
{
"user_id": 3,
"user_name": "Nitheesh",
"email" : "[email protected]",
"phone" : "1234567890"
}
],
- String
If the options are array of strings
["Option 1", "Option 3"]
- Object If options are array of objects
defaultValue : [
{
"user_id": 3,
"user_name": "Nitheesh",
"email" : "[email protected]",
"phone" : "1234567890"
}
]
- Populate the options list from remote API/Storage. We have exposed 'onGetQuery' function, so you can bind your function and update the options list. To achive it you have to configure the 'data_source'.You will able to access the data_source's params and call remote API/Storage. If your data_source type is remote, you have to bind the 'onGetQuery'.function else it is not required. The default type is local,which means options list is pre populated.
"data_source" : {
"type" : "local/remote",
"key" : "" ,
"url": "",
}
- Search and Filter We have exposed 'onSearchQuery` function, so if your options list is large and you need to search,bind your function and update the options list. To enable it confure 'additional'. Similary for filter, but for filter you have to configure the 'filterCategory' also. The filterCategory is the list of key from options's object on which filter will be applied.
"additional":{
"searchEnable":true,
"filterEnable":true
},
"filterCategory":["user_name","phone"]
Allows to have multiple nested complex objects. This is useful if we need to record multiple instances of data e.g. see the example 10-lookup.json (https://github.com/sharathchandramg/react-native-formo/blob/master/example/sampleformo/schema/11-sub-form.json)
{ type: sub-form }
Allows to record the geo-location of the device. This requires the user to provide access to the read the location data
{ type: location }
Object ({ latitude : "", longitude : "" })
{ type: image }
Allows to configure additional properties like mode, multiple and number of files.The default value for mode, multiple and max_files are low-resolution,false and 1 respectively,
{
"additional_config" : {
"mode":"high-resolution",
"multiple":true,
"max_files": 5
}
}
Pass the data to be prefilled as formData property
formData = {
first_name : 'Sha',
last_name: 'Snow',
house: 'Winterfell',
status: 'Sad'
}
