NameTypeDefaultDescription

children?

any

Provides child elements that are passed to the rendered component.

jsx
<Field name="user.name" component="input">
  <span>Additional content</span>
</Field>

colSpan?

number | ResponsiveFormBreakPoint[]

Sets how many columns the field spans in the form layout.

component

string | ComponentType<any>

Can be set to a React component or to the name of an HTML element, for example, input, select, and textarea. The props that are passed to the component are the FieldRenderProps.

jsx
<Field name="user.name" component="input" />

name

string

Sets the field name in the form state. You can use nested fields like user.age and users[0].name.

jsx
<Field name="user.age" component="input" />

onChange?

(event: any) => void

Handles changes to the field value.

Use this to update related fields. The Form automatically updates its state when this fires.

jsx
const handleChange = event => console.log(event);
<Field name="user.name" component="input" onChange={handleChange} />

validator?

FieldValidatorType | FieldValidatorType[]

Validates the field value and returns error messages.

Only synchronous functions are supported. Use useMemo to avoid infinite loops when using an array of validators.

jsx
const validator = value => value ? "" : "This field is required.";
<Field name="user.email" component="input" validator={validator} />
