Material-UI and react-hook-form combined

About this project

This project simplifies the use of react-hook-form and Material-UI. It provides opinionated use cases with following components:

• FormContainer
• TextFieldElement
• SelectElement
• MultiSelectElement
• RadioButtonGroup
• CheckboxButtonGroup
• CheckboxElement
• SwitchElement
• PasswordElement
• DatePickerElement

The components are written in TypeScript and attempt an easy integration.

How to use it

Installation

npm install react-hook-form react-hook-form-mui

The dependency of react-hook-form is a peerDependency so don't forget to install it as well.

Important

From versions >= 3.x of this package MUI v5 is in use. Versions of 1 & 2 using Material-UI v4

Your component code

import { FormContainer, TextFieldElement } from 'react-hook-form-mui'

function Form() {
  return (
    <FormContainer 
      defaultValues={{ name: '' }}
      onSuccess={data => console.log(data)}
    >
      <TextFieldElement name="name" label="Name" required />
    </FormContainer>
  )
}

You can have a look at the example folder which sets up NextJS with react-hook-form-mui

FormContainer creates formContext

The <FormContainer /> wires up a form and you can create sub-components which either make use of useFormContext() | useWatch() to react to form values.

Demo

Check out Storybook: Demo

You will find examples and use cases.

With Datepicker

If you are using the DatepickerElement keep in mind that you have to wrap your form with a provider:

Examples for Dayjs or DateFns provider (used in the demo):

• DateFns
• Dayjs

Bundle

This project uses microbundle to wrap the package for npm.
