Setting submission errors after autosaving

Open Haegin opened this issue 5 years ago • 3 comments

Are you submitting a bug report or a feature request?

I'm not sure if what I'm trying is supported so it could be either.

What is the current behavior?

I've got a form using autosave similar to the example in the docs and I'm trying to set form errors from server side validations in the response.

https://codesandbox.io/s/react-final-form-auto-save-with-debounce-4yn90?file=/index.js is a modified version of the example from the docs that shows roughly what I'm trying to do. The First Name field has a server side validation whereas the Last Name field is validated client side. The client side validation works fine but I can't figure out how to set the server side errors in the form state.

I've tried to use a mutator to allow me to set the errors but setting the errors in the formState doesn't update the field to show the error.

What is the expected behavior?

Using a mutator to set the error object in the form state should update the props passed to Fields so they can render errors.

What's your environment?

Final Form 4.20 React Final Form 6.5.0

MacOS Version 10.15.3 (19D76) Chrome Version 83.0.4103.106 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Other information

If I can somehow configure handleSubmit to ignore the validations so I can use the standard method of setting errors by resolving the response to the errors object that'd also work, but I can't find any way to skip field validations when submitting.

I'm still having problems with this - is there really no way to set errors on a form outside of calling handleSubmit?

I'm actually running into this right now and was looking for a way to influence the errors so I could still keep all the form behaviour.
