Material-UI Dataforms

MUI Dataforms is a library intended to assist in creating dynamic forms based on a JSON input. Fields are completely dynamic with a multitude of pre-defined components (with the option of custom components).

Getting Started

Installation

npm install mui-dataforms

or

yarn add mui-dataforms

Using the forms

import MuiDataform from 'mui-dataforms'

Define your fields

const fields = [
    {
        title: "Personal Information",
        description: "Some info about yourself.",
        fields: [
            {
                id: 'first-name',
                title: 'First Name',
                type: 'text',
                validation: {
                    required: true,
                    min: 3,
                    max: 16,
                },
                size: {
                    xs: 12,
                    md: 6,
                },
            },
        ]
    }
]

Set up a state

const [values, setValues] = useState({"first-name": "Alex"})

const handleOnChange = (key) => (value) => {
	setValues(prevValues => ({...prevValues, [key]: value}))
}

Implementation

<MuiDataform title={"My Form"} fields={fields} values={values} onChange={handleOnChange}/>
