Right now the form is allowing empty and non valid email strings to be stored to my firestore.
In regular html input tag i know using required and type=email forces the validation. Is there not something similar using Chakra Ui?
const SubscribeForm = () => {
const [input, setInput] = useState("");
const isError = input === ''
const handleSubmit = (e) => {
console.log("saved to firestore , input: " + input)
e.preventDefault();
saveEmail(input);
setInput("Thanks for subscribing!");
};
const saveEmail = async (input) => {
try {
const docRef = await addDoc(collection(db, "sub-emails"), {
email: input
});
console.log("Document written with ID: ", input);
} catch (e) {
console.error("Error adding document: " + input, e);
}
};
return (
<FormControl isRequired >
<Text paddingBottom="10px" fontSize="14px" color="white" > Get updated when site goes live!</Text>
<Input
isRequired
value={input}
onChange={(e) => setInput(e.target.value)} fontSize="13px" placeholder="example@gmail.com" bgColor="white" id='email' type='email' />
<Button
onClick={handleSubmit}
mt={4}
colorScheme='teal'
type='submit'
>
Submit
</Button>
</FormControl>
)
}
export default SubscribeForm
Doesn't seem like the isRequired and type='email' is working
Create a custom function like this:
const isValidEmail = /^[\w-\.]+@([\w-]+\.)+[\w-]{2,4}$/g;
const validateEmail = (e) => {
if(e.target?.value && e.target.value.match(isValidEmail)){
showNoValidEmail(false);
setInput(e.target.value)
}else{
showNoValidEmail(true);
}
}
Where showNoValidEmail it's a boolean state and can be used with a custom html message.
Now, in your handleSubmit you can do this:
const handleSubmit = (e) => {
console.log("saved to firestore , input: " + input)
e.preventDefault();
if(input && input.length && input.match(isValidEmail)){
saveEmail(input);
setInput("Thanks for subscribing!");
}else{
//show a error message or something like that
}
};
