FieldArray

The FieldArray component is how you render an array of fields. It works a lot like Field. With Field, you give a name, referring to the location of the field in the Redux state, and a component to render the field, which is given the props to connect the field to the Redux state.

With FieldArray, you provide a name just like with Field, but the component you give to FieldArray will be given a set of props to query, update, and iterate through the field array.

Importing

var FieldArray = require('redux-form').FieldArray;  // ES5

import { FieldArray } from 'redux-form';  // ES6

Props you can pass to FieldArray

name : String [required]

A string path, in dot-and-bracket notation, corresponding to a value in the form values. It may be as simple as 'firstName' or as complicated as contact.billing.address[2].phones[1].areaCode.

component : Component|Function [required]

A Component or stateless function to render the field array.

withRef : boolean [optional]

If true, the rendered component will be available with the getRenderedComponent() method. Defaults to false. Cannot be used if your component is a stateless function component.

Instance API

The following properties and methods are available on an instance of a FieldArray component.

name : String

The name prop that you passed in.

valid : boolean

true if this field passes validation, false otherwise.

getRenderedComponent()

Returns the instance of the rendered component. For this to work, you must provide a withRef prop, and your component must not be a stateless function component.

Props

These are props that FieldArray will pass to your wrapped component.

dirty : boolean

true if the any of the fields in the field array have changed from their initialized value. Opposite of pristine.

error : String [optional]

The error for this field array if its value is not passing validation. Both synchronous, asynchronous, and submit validation errors will be reported here. Array-specific errors should be returned from the validation function as an _error key on the array.

forEach(callback) : Function

A method to iterate over each value of the array. See the section on Iteration for more details.

insert(index, value) : Function

A function to insert a new value into the array at any arbitrary index.

invalid : boolean

true if the field array value fails validation (has a validation error). Opposite of valid.

length : Number

The current length of the array.

map(callback) : Function

A method to iterate over each value of the array. Returns an array of the results of each call to the callback. See the section on Iteration for more details.

pop() : Function

Removes an item from the end of the array. Returns the item removed.

pristine : boolean

true if the all of the fields in the field array are the same as their initialized value. Opposite of dirty.

push(value) : Function

Adds a value to the end of the array. Returns nothing.

remove(index) : Function

Removes an item from the array at an arbitrary index. Returns nothing.

shift() : Function

Removes an item from beginning of the array. Returns the item removed..

swap(indexA, indexB) : Function

Swaps two items in the array at the given indexes. Returns nothing.

unshift(value) : Function

Adds an item to the beginning of the array. Returns nothing.

valid : boolean

true if the field value passes validation (has no validation errors). Opposite of invalid.

Iteration

When you iterate through a field array with either forEach() or map(), your callback will be passed two parameters:

name : String

The name needed to give to Field to render the fields in this array. If the name prop you give to FieldArray is 'foo.bar', and there are three items in the array, your callback will be called three times, with 'foo.bar[0]', 'foo.bar[1]', and 'foo.bar[2]'.

index : Number

The index of the item in the array.
