svelteschool/svelte-forms

A no-fuss Svelte form component that just works.

• Plug'n'Play. Input elements in, values out.
• Works just like a normal form. Except it does all the tedious work for you.
• Extendable. Work with most inputs and custom input components out of the box.
• Two-Way Binding. Svelte-forms is two-way bound by default. Change a value in your object, and it changes in your inputs.
• A toolbox of actions to apply to your elements: Validate, FocusOnSelect, Numbers, TextareaAutoRezie, and many more. (Soon!)

Try it out on the Svelte REPL!

Usage

Simply bind to the components values property:

Using built-in HTML input elements:

<script>
  import Form from "@svelteschool/svelte-forms";
  let values;
</script>

<Form bind:values>
  <input
    placeholder="Enter first name..."
    type="text"
    name="firstName" />
  <input
    placeholder="Enter last name..."
    type="text"
    name="lastName" />
</Form>

Here's how the values object would be structured in the above case:

{
  firstName: 'Svelte',
  lastName: 'School'
}

Inputs that do not have a name property or are disabled will not show up in the object.

File inputs are not supported.

Props

actions

The actions prop takes an array of [action, options]. The action is applied to the form element using the options just like it would be if you manually applied it to an element: use:action={options}.

Validation

Handling form validation is pretty straight forward in Svelte using this library, you'd pick your preferred validation library (Yup for example) and just do a reactive statement like so: $: validity = validateForm(values) where validateForm is a function that does just that.

Installing

Simple. Install it using yarn or npm.

yarn add @svelteschool/svelte-forms

npm install @svelteschool/svelte-forms

If you're using Sapper, make sure to install it as a dev dependency:

yarn add -D @svelteschool/svelte-forms
