onChange

Event handler called when a field loses focus.

Specification

Event handler called on each field value change.

Definition

type OnChange = (params) => void

Parameters

Parameter name	Type	Description
event	Event	Native event reference.
prevValue	any	The previous value of a field.
nextValue	any	The next value of a field.
fieldProps	Object	Props of the current field.
fields	Object	Reference to all fields of a form.
form	Object	Form component reference.

Default behavior

By default, onChange behaves as a callback method, allowing you to base your external logic based on the field updates. This doesn't change the controlled flow of the field.

The same onChange method can be used as the handler when working with controlled fields. In that case it is responsible for updating the data source used for setting a value on the field.

Example

import React from 'react'
import { Form } from 'react-advanced-form'
import { Input } from 'react-advanced-form-addons'

export default class Example extends React.Component {
  handleUsernameChange = ({
    event,
    nextValue,
    prevValue,
    fieldProps,
    fields,
    form
  }) => {
    // ...
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <Form>
        <Input
          name="username"
          onChange={this.handleUsernameChange}
          required />
      </Form>
    )
  }
}
