Changed

• setValue without shouldUnregister:false will no longer deep clone its value instead with shallow clone

Added

• new formState isValidating, this will set to true during validation.

const {
  formState: { isValidating },
} = useForm();

[6.12.0] - 2020-12-12

Changed

• When invoking reset({ value }) value will be shallow clone value object which you have supplied instead of deepClone.

// ❌ avoid the following with deep nested default values
const defaultValues = { object: { deepNest: { file: new File() } } };
useForm({ defaultValues });
reset(defaultValues); // share the same reference

// ✅ it's safer with the following, as we only doing shallow clone with defaultValues
useForm({ deepNest: { file: new File() } });
reset({ deepNest: { file: new File() } });

Added

• New custom hook useController: This custom hook is what powers Controller, and shares the same props and methods as Controller. It's useful to create reusable Controlled input, while Controller is the flexible option to drop into your page or form.

import React from 'react';
import { TextField } from '@material-ui/core';
import { useController } from 'react-hook-form';

function Input({ control, name }) {
  const {
    field: { ref, ...inputProps },
    meta: { invalid, isTouched, isDirty },
  } = useController({
    name,
    control,
    rules: { required: true },
    defaultValue: '',
  });

  return <TextField {...inputProps} inputRef={ref} />;
}

[6.12.0] - 2020-11-28

Changed

• useWatch will retrieve the latest value from reset(data) instead of return defaultValue

useWatch({
  name: 'test',
  defaultValue: 'data', // this value will only show on the initial render
});

• TS: name changed from ValidationRules to RegisterOptions due to valueAs functionality included as register function.

Added

• register function with additional options to transform value

  • valueAsDate
  • valueAsNumber
  • setValueAs

register({
  valueAsNumber: true,
});

register({
  valueAsNumber: true,
});

register({
  setValueAs: (value) => value,
});

Added

[6.11.0] - 2020-11-07

Changed

• defaultValues is required to measure isDirty, keep a single source of truth to avoid multiple issues raised around isDirty
• when watch with useFieldArray, fields object is no longer required as defaultValue

- watch('fieldArray', fields);
+ watch('fieldArray');

[6.10.0] - 2020-10-31

Added

• Controller will have an extra ref props to improve DX in terms of focus management.

<Controller
  name="test"
  render={(props) => {
    return (
      <input
        value={props.value}
        onChange={props.onChange}
        ref={props.ref} // you can assign ref now without the use of `onFocus`
      />
    );
  }}
/>

// focus will work correct without the `onFocus` prop
<Controller name="test" as={<input />} />

Changed

• resolver with group error object will no longer need with trigger to show and clear error. This minor version made hook form look at parent error node to detect if there is any group error to show and hide.

const schema = z.object({
  items: z.array(z.boolean()).refine((items) => items.some((item) => item)),
});

{
  items.map((flag, index) => (
    <input
      type="checkbox"
      defaultChecked={false}
      // onChange={() => trigger("items")} now can be removed
      ref={register}
      name={`items.${index}`}
    />
  ));
}

[6.9.0] - 2020-10-3

Changed

• with shouldUnregister set to false, empty Field Array will default [] as submission result.

const { handleSubmit } = useForm({
  shouldUnregister: false,
});

  name: 'test',
});

handleSubmit((data) => {
  // shouldUnregister: false
  // result:  { data: {test: []} }

• remove exact config at clearErrors

- clearErrors('test', { exact: false })
+ clearErrors('test') // does it automatically in the lib

[6.7.0] - 2020-08-30

Added

• clearError have second option argument for clear errors which are exact or key name

register('test.firstName', { required: true });
register('test.lastName', { required: true });
clearErrors('test', { exact: false }); // will clear both errors from test.firstName and test.lastName
clearErrors('test.firstName'); // for clear single input error

[6.6.0] - 2020-08-28

Added

  shouldUnregister: false, // unmount input state will be remained
});

• auto focus with useFieldArray

append({}, (autoFocus = true));
prepend({}, (autoFocus = true));
insert({}, (autoFocus = true));

• TS: NestedValue

import { useForm, NestedValue } from 'react-hook-form';

type FormValues = {
  key1: string;
  key2: number;
  key3: NestedValue<{
    key1: string;
    key2: number;
  }>;
  key4: NestedValue<string[]>;
};

const { errors } = useForm<FormValues>();

errors?.key1?.message; // no type error
errors?.key2?.message; // no type error
errors?.key3?.message; // no type error
errors?.key4?.message; // no type error

• useWatch (new) subscribe to registered inputs.

<input name="test" ref={register} />;

function IsolateReRender() {
  const { state } = useWatch({
    name: 'test',
    control,
    defaultValue: 'default',
  });

  return <div>{state}</div>;
}

• getValues() support array of field names

getValues(['test', 'test1']); // { test: 'test', test1: 'test1' }

• useForm({ mode: 'all' }) support all validation

Changed

• rename validationResolver to resolver

• rename validationContext to context

• rename validateCriteriaMode to criteriaMode

• rename triggerValidation to trigger

• rename clearError to clearErrors

• rename FormContext to FormProvider

• rename dirty to isDirty

• dirtyFields change type from Set to Object

• Controller with render props API, and removed the following props:

  • onChange
  • onChangeName
  • onBlur
  • onBlurName
  • valueName

-<Controller
-  as={CustomInput}
-  valueName="textValue"
-  onChangeName="onTextChange"
-  control={control}
-  name="test"
-/>
+<Controller
+  render={({ onChange, onBlur, value }) => (
+     <CustomInput onTextChange={onChange} onBlur={onBlur} textValue={value} />
+  )}
+  control={control}
+  name="test"
+/>

• setError will focus one error at a time and remove confusing set multiple errors, behavior change.
  • setError will persis an error if it's not part of the form, which requires manual remove with clearError
  • setError error will be removed by validation rules, rules always take over errors

- setError('test', 'test', 'test')
+ setError('test', { type: 'test', message: 'bill'})

• setValue will focus on input at a time

setValue('test', 'value', { shouldValidate: false, shouldDirty: false })

Removed

• remove validationSchema and embrace validation resolver
• remove nest option for watch & getValues, so data return from both methods will be in FormValues shape.

-getValues({ nest: true }); // { test: { data: 'test' }}
-watch({ nest: true }); // { test: { data: 'test' }}
+getValues(); // { test: { data: 'test' }}
+watch(); // { test: { data: 'test' }}

[5.0.0] - 2020-03-07

Breaking Change

• Controller: onChange will only evaluate payload as event like object. eg: react-select will no longer need the extra onChange method at Controller.

import { TextInput } from 'react-native';

-<Controller
-  as={<TextInput style={{ borderWidth: 2, borderColor: 'black'}} />}
-  name="text"
-  control={args => ({
-    value: args[0].nativeEvent.text,
-  })}
-  onChange={onChange}
-/>
+<Controller
+  as={<TextInput style={{ borderWidth: 2, borderColor: 'black'}} />}
+  name="text"
+  control={args => args[0].nativeEvent.text}
+  onChange={onChange}
+/>

[4.0.0] - 2019-12-24

Breaking changes

• improve module exports:

import { useForm } from 'react-hook-form';

• nested errors object and better typescript support

type form = {
  yourDetail: {
    firstName: string;
  };
};

errors?.yourDetail?.firstName;

• triggerValidation argument change from Object, Object[] to String, String[]

triggerValidation('firstName');
triggerValidation(['firstName', 'lastName']);

• watch support { nest: boolean }

watch(); // { 'test.firstName': 'bill' }
watch({ nest: true }); // { test: { firstName: 'bill' } }

• improve custom register

register('test', { required: true });

• setError` support nested object

setError('yourDetail.firstName', 'test');
errors.yourDetails.firstName;

• handleSubmit no longer rerun array inputs contains undefined or null

Added

• move RHFInput into the main repo and rename it to Controller

<Controller control={control} name="test" />

Removed
