TypeScript

The Formik source code is written in TypeScript, so you can rest easy that Formik's types will always be up-to-date. As a mental model, Formik's type signatures are very similar to React Router 4's <Route>.

Render props (<Formik /> and <Field />)

import * as React from 'react';
import {
Formik,
FormikHelpers,
FormikProps,
Form,
Field,
FieldProps,
} from 'formik';
interface MyFormValues {
firstName: string;
}
export const MyApp: React.FC<{}> = () => {
const initialValues: MyFormValues = { firstName: '' };
return (
<div>
<h1>My Example</h1>
<Formik
initialValues={initialValues}
onSubmit={(values, actions) => {
console.log({ values, actions });
alert(JSON.stringify(values, null, 2));
actions.setSubmitting(false);
}}
>
<Form>
<label htmlFor="firstName">First Name</label>
<Field id="firstName" name="firstName" placeholder="First Name" />
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</Form>
</Formik>
</div>
);
};

withFormik()

import React from 'react';
import * as Yup from 'yup';
import { withFormik, FormikProps, FormikErrors, Form, Field } from 'formik';
// Shape of form values
interface FormValues {
email: string;
password: string;
}
interface OtherProps {
message: string;
}
// Aside: You may see InjectedFormikProps<OtherProps, FormValues> instead of what comes below in older code.. InjectedFormikProps was artifact of when Formik only exported a HoC. It is also less flexible as it MUST wrap all props (it passes them through).
const InnerForm = (props: OtherProps & FormikProps<FormValues>) => {
const { touched, errors, isSubmitting, message } = props;
return (
<Form>
<h1>{message}</h1>
<Field type="email" name="email" />
{touched.email && errors.email && <div>{errors.email}</div>}
<Field type="password" name="password" />
{touched.password && errors.password && <div>{errors.password}</div>}
<button type="submit" disabled={isSubmitting}>
Submit
</button>
</Form>
);
};
// The type of props MyForm receives
interface MyFormProps {
initialEmail?: string;
message: string; // if this passed all the way through you might do this or make a union type
}
// Wrap our form with the withFormik HoC
const MyForm = withFormik<MyFormProps, FormValues>({
// Transform outer props into form values
mapPropsToValues: props => {
return {
email: props.initialEmail || '',
password: '',
};
},
// Add a custom validation function (this can be async too!)
validate: (values: FormValues) => {
let errors: FormikErrors<FormValues> = {};
if (!values.email) {
errors.email = 'Required';
} else if (!isValidEmail(values.email)) {
errors.email = 'Invalid email address';
}
return errors;
},
handleSubmit: values => {
// do submitting things
},
})(InnerForm);
// Use <MyForm /> wherevs
const Basic = () => (
<div>
<h1>My App</h1>
<p>This can be anywhere in your application</p>
<MyForm message="Sign up" />
</div>
);
export default Basic;
