setErrors()

Applies the given error messages to the selected fields.
Accepts the delta fields object, where each field path is associated with the respective error messages. Validates any affected field as invalid.
Providing explicit null as error message value removes the error message, and restores the previous validity state of a field.
Definition
type SetErrors = (fieldsDelta: FieldsDelta) => Object
​
type Errors = string[] | string | null
​
type FieldsDelta = {
  [fieldName?]: Errors | FieldsDelta,
}
