## 📜 About

**react-component-form** is a lightweight form component for [React.js](https://reactjs.org/), it allows you to get the inputs values without state thanks to `onChange` or `onSubmit` props.

Demo : [https://divlo.github.io/react-component-form/](https://divlo.github.io/react-component-form/).

This project was bootstrapped with [create-react-library](https://www.npmjs.com/package/create-react-library).

## 💾 Install

```sh
npm install --save react-component-form
```

## ⚙️ Usage

```tsx
import React from 'react'
import Form, { HandleForm } from 'react-component-form'

const Example = () => {
  const handleSubmit: HandleForm = (formData, formElement) => {
    console.log(formData) // { inputName: 'value of the input' }
    formElement.reset()
  }

  return (
    <Form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
      <input type='text' name='inputName' />
      <button type='submit'>Submit</button>
    </Form>
  )
}
```

_Note : The example use TypeScript, but obviously you can use JavaScript. Be aware that `HandleForm` is the type definition for the `onChange` and `onSubmit` props._

Basically you have access to the same props of the HTML `form` tag in React, but the onSubmit and the onChange props are differents.

Instead to get the `event` param you get `formData` and `formElement` params :

- `formData`: It's an object where the keys are the name of your inputs and the current value. Behind the scene, it uses the [FormData](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/FormData) constructor.
- `formElement`: It's the actual HTML form element in the DOM so for example you can access the `.reset()` method on a [HTMLFormElement](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/HTMLFormElement).
