How to auto Submit a ReactForm

[Grant]

Hi, 

As my title says, "How can I create a Kendo Form that checks its content and then auto-submits when the its complete?"

I thought I could use the form validator to check the fields and then execute a submit if they are all valid, but then that executes every time a form element changes, and I dont want to submit before the user is done even typing their name.

Its like I need an onBlur of the form, the only equivalent is to run a check onBlur of each field. I've been messing around with trying to send the form to the blur function to check each field, but I haven't had success.

Is there a better way?

Thanks,
Grant

Hello Grant,

You can for example create custom component which to look for the Form `valid` and `touched` render props. These props indicate that the Form fields are touched by the user and are valid. If both props are `true` than you can submit the form:

const AutoSubmitter = formRenderProps => {
  const isSubmittedRef = React.useRef(false);
  React.useEffect(() => {
    const { valid, touched, onSubmit } = formRenderProps;

    if (valid && touched && !isSubmittedRef.current) {
      isSubmittedRef.current = true;
      onSubmit();
    }
  });
  return [];

Please check the full example below:
