reduxForm(config:Object)

Creates a decorator with which you use redux-form to connect your form component to Redux. It takes a config parameter which lets you configure your form.

Importing


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

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

Config Properties

IMPORTANT: All of these configuration options may be passed into reduxForm() at "design time" or passed in as props to your component at runtime.

Required

form : String [required]

the name of your form and the key to where your form's state will be mounted under the redux-form reducer

Optional

-adapter : (component:String, props:Object) => ReactElement [optional]

An adapter function that will render a component based on a string component type and the props given to a Field. Remember that all you really need to hook up to your custom component is value and onChange. An example can be found in the redux-form-material-ui library.

Defaults to [].

See Asynchronous Blur Validation Example for more details.

-asyncBlurFields : Array<String> [optional]

field names for which onBlur should trigger a call to the asyncValidate function. Defaults to [].

See Asynchronous Blur Validation Example for more details.

asyncValidate : (values:Object, dispatch:Function, props:Object) => Promise<undefined, errors:Object> [optional]

a function that takes all the form values, the dispatch function, and the props given to your component, and returns a Promise that will resolve if the validation is passed, or will reject with an object of validation errors in the form { field1: <String>, field2: <String> }.

See Asynchronous Blur Validation Example for more details.

destroyOnUnmount : boolean [optional]

Whether or not to automatically destroy your form's state in the Redux store when your component is unmounted. Defaults to true.

getFormState : Function [optional]

A function that takes the entire Redux state and returns the state slice which corresponds to where the redux-form reducer was mounted. This functionality is rarely needed, and defaults to assuming that the reducer is mounted under the form key.

initialValues : Object<String, String> [optional]

The values with which to initialize your form in componentWillMount(). Particularly useful when Editing Multiple Records, but can also be used with single-record forms. The values should be in the form { field1: 'value1', field2: 'value2' }.

onSubmit : Function [optional]

The function to call with the form data when the handleSubmit() is fired from within the form component. If you do not specify it as a prop here, you must pass it as a parameter to handleSubmit() inside your form component.

If your onSubmit function returns a promise, the submitting property will be set to true until the promise has been resolved or rejected. If it is rejected with a redux-form SubmissionError containing errors in the form { field1: 'error', field2: 'error' } then the submission errors will be added to each field (to the error prop) just like async validation errors are. If there is an error that is not specific to any field, but applicable to the entire form, you may pass that as if it were the error for a field called _error, and it will be given as the error prop.

propNamespace : string [optional]

UNIMPLEMENTED SO FAR IN V6

If specified, all the props normally passed into your decorated component directly will be passed under the key specified. Useful if using other decorator libraries on the same component to avoid prop namespace collisions.

returnRejectedSubmitPromise : boolean [optional]

If set to true, a failed submit will return a rejected promise. Defaults to false. Only use this if you need to detect submit failures and run some code when a submit fails.

shouldAsyncValidate(params) : boolean [optional]

An optional function you may provide to have full control over when async validation happens. Your shouldAsyncValidate() function will be given an object with the following values:

asyncErrors : Object [optional]

Any existing asynchronous validation errors

initialized : boolean [required]

true if the form has ever been initialized with initial values

trigger : String [required]

The reason to possibly run async validation. It will either be: 'blur' or 'submit', depending on whether an async blur field had triggered the async validation or if submitting the form has triggered it, respecitively.

blurredField : string [optional]

The name of the field that has triggered the async validation. May be undefined.

pristine : boolean [required]

true if the form is pristine, false if it is dirty

syncValidationPasses : boolean [required]

true if synchronous validation is passing, false if it is failing.

The default behavior is:


  if(!syncValidationPasses) {
    return false
  }
  switch(trigger) {
    case 'blur':
      // blurring
      return true
    case 'submit':
      // submitting, so only async validate if form is dirty or was never initialized
      // conversely, DON'T async validate if the form is pristine just as it was initialized
      return !pristine || !initialized
    default:
      return false
  }

touchOnBlur : boolean [optional]

marks fields as touched when the blur action is fired. Defaults to true.

touchOnChange : boolean [optional]

marks fields as touched when the change action is fired. Defaults to false.

validate : (values:Object, props:Object) => errors:Object [optional]

a synchronous validation function that takes the form values and props passed into your component. If validation passes, it should return {}. If validation fails, it should return the validation errors in the form { field1: <String>, field2: <String> }. Defaults to (values, props) => ({}).

See Synchronous Validation Example for more details.
