    ? 'Invalid email address'
    : undefined;
};

// your-component.js

import React from 'react';
import PropTypes from 'prop-types';
import { compose } from 'redux';
import { Field, reduxForm } from 'redux-form';

import { Button, Form } from 'semantic-ui-react';

import semanticFormField from './semanticFormField';
import { required, number, minValue } from './validation';

const options = [
  { key: '0', text: 'Option 1', value: '0' },
  { key: '1', text: 'Option 2', value: '1' }
];

const ComponentForm = (props) => {
  return (
    <Form name="product" onSubmit={handleSubmit(onSubmit)}>
      <Field name="selectExample" component={semanticFormField} as={Form.Select} options={options} label="Select label" placeholder="Select an option" validate={required} />
      <Field name="textInputExample" component={semanticFormField} as={Form.Input} type="text" label="Input label" placeholder="Text Input" validate={required} />
      <Field name="numberInputExample" component={semanticFormField} as={Form.Input} type="text" label="Number label" placeholder="Number Input" validate={number} />
      <Field name="emailInputExample" component={semanticFormField} as={Form.Input} type="email" label="Email label" placeholder="Email Input" validate={[required, email]} />
      <Button primary loading={submitting} disabled={pristine || submitting}>Submit</Button>
    </Form>
  );
};

ComponentForm.propTypes = {
  handleSubmit: PropTypes.func,
  reset: PropTypes.func,
  onSubmit: PropTypes.func,
  pristine: PropTypes.bool,
  submitting: PropTypes.bool
};

export default compose(
  reduxForm({
    form: 'yourComponent',
    enableReinitialize: true
  })
)(ComponentForm);

// Use the above created form component anywhere else in the code base

import ComponentForm from './your-component';

class ComponentWhereFormIsUsed extends React.Component {

  // Capturing redux form values from redux form store (pay attention to the name we defined in the previous component)
  onSubmit = values => {(
    values.selectExample,
    values.textInputExample,
    values.numberInputExample,
    values.emailInputExample
  )};

  render() {
    return (
      <ComponentForm onSubmit={this.onSubmit} />
    );
  }
}

Is the return value here supposed to be an array or an Object?

It's partly working - it's dispatching actions correctly, but nothing is being saved in the store and the input box remains empty as I type.

@TrebuhD you need to hook up the onSubmit method in a function call. For e.g in my case, I am passing calling a graphql mutation hooked up to the onSubmit method

class MyComponent extends React.Component {
  onSubmit = values => {
    const { someMethod } = this.props;
    someMethod(values.selectExample, values.textInputExample, values.numberInputExample, values.emailInputExample);
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <MyForm onSubmit={this.onSubmit} />
      </div>
    );
  }
}

export default compose(
  graphql(MUTATION_NAME, {
    props: ({ ownProps: { history }, mutate }) => ({
      someMethod: async (selectExample, textInputExample, numberInputExample, emailInputExample) => {
        await mutate({
          variables: { input: { selectExample, textInputExample, numberInputExample, emailInputExample } },
          optimisticResponse: {
            someMethod: {
              id: -1,
              selectExample: selectExample,
              textInputExample: textInputExample,
              numberInputExample: numberInputExample,
              emailInputExample: emailInputExample,
              __typename: 'MyType',
            },
          }
        });
        return history.push('/');
      }
    })
  })
)(MyComponent);

Thanks a lot! That was a big help.

@mairh I'm new to react can you add a working example, please

@mairh Thank you for your examples!
in semantic-ui-form.js, I keep getting meta error and warning undefined.. do you have any idea why?
Thanks.

Hello @mairh

Did you see that semanticFormField return <Form.Field>

and in your exemple you are using as={Form.Select} which is a sugar for <Form.Field><Select /></Form.Field>, so it renders a Form.Field inside a Form.Field ? Maybe i'm misunderstanding something.

Also, how to you make your semanticFormField works with checkboxes and radios ? I'm having a hard time trying to make it works

Thank you a lot for this gist !

Thank you! This helped me a lot.

This is very helpfull tanks for that

Great example and very helpful.....thank you for this.
Just to make it a bit funkier instead of the <span>......</span> for the errors and warnings I think <Message negative><Message.Header>etc.....</Message.Header></Message> adds that final touch.

Hey! Thanks for your example!

I am trying to have a <Field as={Form.Select} multiple selection.../> take in multiple values so that it can have default values appear on mount. The problem I am having is that I can't get value={['this', 'array', 'of_values']} to be in input of the semanticFormField (but name is)

<Field
                  component={semanticFormField}
                  name='fieldNames'
                  as={Form.Select}
                  multiple
                  selection
                  value={selectedFieldNamesInArray} //this is the problem here
                  options={fieldNameOptions}
                  label='Field'
                  width={8}
                  onChange={this.handleFieldNames}
                />

any help would be great!

any help would be great!

Update:

I figured out the problem, you should add input to the props and any onChange or onBlur methods should be included as well

<Field
  component={semanticFormField}
  name='fieldNames'
  as={Form.Dropdown}
  multiple
  selection
  input={ { value: selectedFieldNamesInArray, onChange: this.handleFieldNames } }
/>

However, if trying to make a certain value appear upon initial mount, it's best to use the initialValues in mapStateToProps from reduxForm
