NameTypeDefaultDescription

ignoreModified?

boolean

Allows the form to submit even when no fields have been modified.

jsx
<Form ignoreModified={true} render={props => <form>form content </form>} />

initialValues?

{[name: string]: any}

Sets the starting values for form fields.

Set initial values to prevent errors when switching from uncontrolled to controlled mode.

jsx
const initialValues = { user: { name: '', age: 0 } };
<Form initialValues={initialValues} render={props => <form>form content</form>} />

onSubmit?

(values: {[name: string]: any}, event?: SyntheticEvent<any>) => void

Handles form submission when validation passes and fields are modified.

Fires when at least one field is modified, the user clicks Submit, and validation passes.

jsx
const handleSubmit = (values, event) => console.log(values);
<Form onSubmit={handleSubmit} render={props => <form> form content </form>} />

onSubmitClick?

(event: FormSubmitClickEvent) => void

Handles every submit button click, even when the form is invalid or unchanged.

Use this for advanced scenarios where you need to handle all submit events.

jsx
const handleSubmitClick = event => console.log(event);
<Form onSubmitClick={handleSubmitClick} render={props => <form> form content </form>} />

render

(props: FormRenderProps) => any

Renders the form content using the provided render function.

jsx
const renderForm = props => <form> form content </form>;
<Form render={renderForm} />

validator?

FormValidatorType

Validates the entire form and returns error messages.

Return a key-value pair where the key is the field path and the value is the error message. You can validate nested fields like 'users[0].name'. Only synchronous functions are supported.

jsx
const validator = values => ({ user: { name: values.user.name ? "" : "Name is required." } });
<Form validator={validator} render={props => <form> form content </form>} />
