FormBinder

FormBinder is a tool to bind scalajs-react form fields to a data model plus validation.

My main goal was to provide a data binding between form fields and data model and a way to specify extra validation rules without loosing flexibility of the form design.

Installation

Currently it is available as a sonatype snapshot, add this to your build.sbt:

libraryDependencies += "com.github.torstenrudolf.scalajs-react-form-binder" %%% "core" % "0.0.17-SNAPSHOT"

If you want to use the materialui form-field descriptors, you'll need this as well:

libraryDependencies += "com.github.torstenrudolf.scalajs-react-form-binder" %%% "extras" % "0.0.17-SNAPSHOT"

You also need to add the resolver for the sonatype snapshot repo:

resolvers ++= Resolver.sonatypeRepo("snapshots")

Usage

See demo: https://torstenrudolf.github.io/scalajs-react-form-binder

• define the data model as a case class
• optionally define validation rules in an object
• define the form fields in a FormLayout object
• the matching of the field-names is type-safe as it is done at compile time via a macro
• have full control over display of the form fields inside your render method

Contribution

Contribution is welcome. I am fairly new to scala and this project is more of a testing ground for me. Please file issues and/or pull requests! I am also happy to hear your opinion if anything could be done better or in a different way :-)

TODO

• add tests
