react in the package name is misleading
Hello. I think that the word "react" in the package name is misleading. In theory mobx-react-form can be used with any UI library/framework.
What do you think about it?
We can work on this, I didn't tested the package outside a react project yet. And we need to think to a proper name too.
@foxhound87, actually you did: your tests have nothing to do with react. I'd suggest mobx-form-state name (and FormState or MobxFormState for the class).
Pros:
- it doesn't mention react;
- it does perfectly describe the purpose of the lib;
- it eliminates naming ambiguity for form state classes and form component classes (e.g.
LoginFormStateandLoginForm).
Cons: backward incompatibility and need to publish new major version.
What do you think?
@anotherpit thank you for your suggestions!
I have to think about it a little more before because I already renamed it from mobx-ajv-form which is still downloaded... :|
Thank you :) I appreciate so much.
But I have to thank you all for the support and contribution to make it even better! The feedback from the community is very important for me.
I was thinking if we can still use this package name for some React specific improvements - like the devtools or form HOC wrappers for better integration, etc... - importing here the "core" from the future mobx-form-xxx package.
After trying to implement redux-form in my use case and getting frustrated I went searching for another library and googled for 'react form'. If react was not in the name, I would never have found it. This is a great library and far better than redux-form. It is a pleasure to use. Thanks for all your effort. I am still reviewing your rfx library to see if I want to use feathers.
And in future would be cool to separate the validation functionalities in a different package, so we can have something like mobx-form-state and mobx-form-validation (with separated tests too).
