Register Calendar Component with React Form Hook


Hello I trying to register "Calendar" component from "Prime React" library with "React Form Hook". The problem is that I can't set default value to the input.

This is where I set the default value.

    const { register, handleSubmit, reset, formState: { errors }, control } = useForm({ mode: 'onSubmit', defaultValues: {
        title: "test",
        start: new Date(),
        end: new Date()
        
      } });

This is my component.

import React from 'react'
import { Calendar } from 'primereact/calendar';
import { useFormState } from 'react-hook-form';
import { CDatePickerStyled } from './CDatePicker.styled';

export default function CDatePicker({ required, disabled, register, control, placeHolder }) {
  const { errors } = useFormState({ control });
  return (
    <CDatePickerStyled>
      <Calendar className={errors[register.name] ? 'p-invalid' : ''} {...register} placeholder={placeHolder} disabled={disabled}></Calendar>
      {required ? <span className={errors[register.name] ? 'error' : ''}>Required*</span> : null}
    </CDatePickerStyled>
  )
}

Solution

  • Isn't that why there is a Calendar React Hook form example right on the documentation site: https://primereact.org/calendar/#hookform

    import React, { useRef } from 'react';
    import { Controller, useForm } from 'react-hook-form';
    import { Button } from 'primereact/button';
    import { classNames } from 'primereact/utils';
    import { Calendar } from "primereact/calendar";
    import { Toast } from "primereact/toast";
    
    export default function HookFormDoc() {
        const toast = useRef(null);
        const defaultValues = { date: null };
        const form = useForm({ defaultValues });
        const errors = form.formState.errors;
    
    const show = () => {
        const date = new Date(form.getValues('date')).toLocaleDateString();
        
        toast.current.show({ severity: 'success', summary: 'Form Submitted', detail: date });
    };
    
        const onSubmit = (data) => {
            data.date && show();
            form.reset();
        };
    
        const getFormErrorMessage = (name) => {
            return errors[name] ? <small className="p-error">{errors[name].message}</small> : <small className="p-error">&nbsp;</small>;
        };
    
        return (
            <div className="card flex justify-content-center">
                <form onSubmit={form.handleSubmit(onSubmit)} className="flex flex-column gap-2">
                    <Toast ref={toast} />
                    <Controller
                        name="date"
                        control={form.control}
                        rules={{ required: 'Date is required.' }}
                        render={({ field, fieldState }) => (
                            <>
                                <label htmlFor={field.name}>Date</label>
                                <Calendar inputId={field.name} value={field.value} onChange={field.onChange} dateFormat="dd/mm/yy" className={classNames({ 'p-invalid': fieldState.error })} />
                                {getFormErrorMessage(field.name)}
                            </>
                        )}
                    />
                    <Button label="Submit" type="submit" icon="pi pi-check" />
                </form>
            </div>
        )
    }
