ra-form-layout

react-admin ≥ 4.3.0

New form layouts for complex data entry tasks (accordion, wizard, etc.).

Test it live on the Enterprise Edition Storybook and in the e-commerce demo (Accordion Form, WizardForm).

Installation

npm install --save @react-admin/ra-form-layout
# or
yarn add @react-admin/ra-form-layout

Tip: ra-form-layout is part of the React-Admin Enterprise Edition, and hosted in a private npm registry. You need to subscribe to one of the Enterprise Edition plans to access this package.

The package contains new translation messages (in English and French). You should add them to your i18nProvider:

import { Admin } from 'react-admin';
import polyglotI18nProvider from 'ra-i18n-polyglot';
import englishMessages from 'ra-language-english';
import frenchMessages from 'ra-language-french';

import {
    raFormLayoutLanguageEnglish,
    raFormLayoutLanguageFrench,
} from '@react-admin/ra-form-layout';

const messages = {
    en: { ...englishMessages, ...raFormLayoutLanguageEnglish },
    fr: { ...frenchMessages, ...raFormLayoutLanguageFrench },
};

const i18nProvider = polyglotI18nProvider(locale => messages[locale], 'en');

const App = () => <Admin i18nProvider={is18nProvider}>{/* ... */}</Admin>;

import { Admin } from "react-admin";
import polyglotI18nProvider from "ra-i18n-polyglot";
import englishMessages from "ra-language-english";
import frenchMessages from "ra-language-french";

import { raFormLayoutLanguageEnglish, raFormLayoutLanguageFrench } from "@react-admin/ra-form-layout";

const messages = {
    en: { ...englishMessages, ...raFormLayoutLanguageEnglish },
    fr: { ...frenchMessages, ...raFormLayoutLanguageFrench },
};

const i18nProvider = polyglotI18nProvider((locale) => messages[locale], "en");

const App = () => <Admin i18nProvider={is18nProvider}>{/* ... */}</Admin>;

`<AccordionForm>`

Alternative to <SimpleForm>, to be used as child of <Create> or <Edit>. Expects <AccordionFormPanel> elements as children.

Test it live in the e-commerce demo.

By default, each child accordion element handles its expanded state independently.

import {
    Edit,
    TextField,
    TextInput,
    DateInput,
    SelectInput,
    ArrayInput,
    SimpleFormIterator,
    BooleanInput,
} from 'react-admin';
import { AccordionForm, AccordionFormPanel } from '@react-admin/ra-form-layout';

// don't forget the component="div" prop on the main component to disable the main Card
const CustomerEdit = () => (
    <Edit component="div">
        <AccordionForm autoClose>
            <AccordionFormPanel label="Identity">
                <TextField source="id" />
                <TextInput source="first_name" validate={required()} />
                <TextInput source="last_name" validate={required()} />
                <DateInput source="dob" label="born" validate={required()} />
                <SelectInput source="sex" choices={sexChoices} />
            </AccordionFormPanel>
            <AccordionFormPanel label="Occupations">
                <ArrayInput source="occupations" label="">
                    <SimpleFormIterator>
                        <TextInput source="name" validate={required()} />
                        <DateInput source="from" validate={required()} />
                        <DateInput source="to" />
                    </SimpleFormIterator>
                </ArrayInput>
            </AccordionFormPanel>
            <AccordionFormPanel label="Preferences">
                <SelectInput
                    source="language"
                    choices={languageChoices}
                    defaultValue="en"
                />
                <BooleanInput source="dark_theme" />
                <BooleanInput source="accepts_emails_from_partners" />
            </AccordionFormPanel>
        </AccordionForm>
    </Edit>
);

import {
    Edit,
    TextField,
    TextInput,
    DateInput,
    SelectInput,
    ArrayInput,
    SimpleFormIterator,
    BooleanInput,
} from "react-admin";
import { AccordionForm, AccordionFormPanel } from "@react-admin/ra-form-layout";

// don't forget the component="div" prop on the main component to disable the main Card
const CustomerEdit = () => (
    <Edit component="div">
        <AccordionForm autoClose>
            <AccordionFormPanel label="Identity">
                <TextField source="id" />
                <TextInput source="first_name" validate={required()} />
                <TextInput source="last_name" validate={required()} />
                <DateInput source="dob" label="born" validate={required()} />
                <SelectInput source="sex" choices={sexChoices} />
            </AccordionFormPanel>
            <AccordionFormPanel label="Occupations">
                <ArrayInput source="occupations" label="">
                    <SimpleFormIterator>
                        <TextInput source="name" validate={required()} />
                        <DateInput source="from" validate={required()} />
                        <DateInput source="to" />

            </AccordionFormPanel>
            <AccordionFormPanel label="Preferences">
                <SelectInput source="language" choices={languageChoices} defaultValue="en" />
                <BooleanInput source="dark_theme" />
                <BooleanInput source="accepts_emails_from_partners" />
            </AccordionFormPanel>
        </AccordionForm>
    </Edit>
);

`autoClose`

When setting autoClose in the <AccordionForm>, only one accordion remains open at a time. The first accordion is open by default, and when a user opens another one, the current open accordion closes.

import { Edit, TextField, TextInput, DateInput, SelectInput, ArrayInput, SimpleFormIterator, BooleanInput } from 'react-admin';
import { AccordionForm, AccordionFormPanel } from '@react-admin/ra-form-layout';

// don't forget the component="div" prop on the main component to disable the main Card
const CustomerEdit = (props: EditProps) => (
    <Edit {...props} component="div">
-       <AccordionForm>
+       <AccordionForm autoClose>
            <AccordionFormPanel label="Identity" defaultExpanded>
                <TextField source="id" />
                ...

`toolbar`

You can customize the form Toolbar by passing a custom element in the toolbar prop. The form expects the same type of element as <SimpleForm>, see the <SimpleForm toolbar> prop documentation in the react-admin docs.

`<AccordionFormPanel>`

The children of <AccordionForm> must be <AccordionFormPanel> elements.

This component renders a MUI <Accordion> component. In the <AccordionDetails>, renders each child inside a <FormInput> (the same layout as in <SimpleForm>).

import {
    Edit,
    TextField,
    TextInput,
    DateInput,
    SelectInput,
    ArrayInput,
    SimpleFormIterator,
    BooleanInput,
} from 'react-admin';

import { AccordionForm, AccordionFormPanel } from '@react-admin/ra-form-layout';

const CustomerEdit = () => (
    <Edit component="div">
        <AccordionForm>
            <AccordionFormPanel label="Identity" defaultExpanded>
                <TextField source="id" />
                <TextInput source="first_name" validate={required()} />
                <TextInput source="last_name" validate={required()} />
                <DateInput source="dob" label="born" validate={required()} />
                <SelectInput source="sex" choices={sexChoices} />
            </AccordionFormPanel>
        </AccordionForm>
    </Edit>
);

import { Edit, TextField, TextInput, DateInput, SelectInput } from "react-admin";

import { AccordionForm, AccordionFormPanel } from "@react-admin/ra-form-layout";

const CustomerEdit = () => (
    <Edit component="div">

            </AccordionFormPanel>
        </AccordionForm>
    </Edit>
);

`<AccordionSection>`

Renders children (Inputs) inside a MUI <Accordion> element without a Card style. To be used as child of a <SimpleForm> or a <TabbedForm> element.

        </SimpleForm>
    </Edit>
);

`<WizardForm>`

Alternative to <SimpleForm> that splits a form into a step-by-step interface, to facilitate the entry in long forms.

Test it live in the e-commerce demo.

Use <SimpleForm> as the child of <Create>. It expects <WizardFormStep> elements as children.

import React from 'react';
import { Create, TextInput, required } from 'react-admin';
import { WizardForm, WizardFormStep } from '@react-admin/ra-form-layout';

const PostCreate = () => (
    <Create>
        <WizardForm>
            <WizardFormStep label="First step">
                <TextInput source="title" validate={required()} />
            </WizardFormStep>
            <WizardFormStep label="Second step">
                <TextInput source="description" />
            </WizardFormStep>
            <WizardFormStep label="Third step">
                <TextInput source="fullDescription" validate={required()} />
            </WizardFormStep>
        </WizardForm>
    </Create>
);

import React from "react";
import { Create, TextInput, required } from "react-admin";
import { WizardForm, WizardFormStep } from "@react-admin/ra-form-layout";

const PostCreate = () => (
    <Create>
        <WizardForm>
            <WizardFormStep label="First step">
                <TextInput source="title" validate={required()} />
            </WizardFormStep>
            <WizardFormStep label="Second step">
                <TextInput source="description" />
            </WizardFormStep>
            <WizardFormStep label="Third step">
                <TextInput source="fullDescription" validate={required()} />
            </WizardFormStep>
        </WizardForm>
    </Create>
);

Note: You can also use the <WizardForm> as child of <Edit> but it's considered as a bad practice to provide a wizard form for existing resources.

Tip: The label prop of the <WizardFormStep> component accepts a translation key:

import React from 'react';
import { Create, TextInput, required } from 'react-admin';
import { WizardForm, WizardFormStep } from '@react-admin/ra-form-layout';

const PostCreate = () => (
    <Create>
        <WizardForm>
            <WizardFormStep label="myapp.posts.steps.general">
                <TextInput source="title" validate={required()} />
            </WizardFormStep>
            <WizardFormStep label="myapp.posts.steps.description">
                <TextInput source="description" />
            </WizardFormStep>
            <WizardFormStep label="myapp.posts.steps.misc">
                <TextInput source="fullDescription" validate={required()} />
            </WizardFormStep>
        </WizardForm>
    </Create>
);

import React from "react";
import { Create, TextInput, required } from "react-admin";
import { WizardForm, WizardFormStep } from "@react-admin/ra-form-layout";

const PostCreate = () => (
    <Create>
        <WizardForm>
            <WizardFormStep label="myapp.posts.steps.general">
                <TextInput source="title" validate={required()} />
            </WizardFormStep>
            <WizardFormStep label="myapp.posts.steps.description">
                <TextInput source="description" />
            </WizardFormStep>
            <WizardFormStep label="myapp.posts.steps.misc">
                <TextInput source="fullDescription" validate={required()} />
            </WizardFormStep>
        </WizardForm>
    </Create>
);

`toolbar`

You can customize the form toolbar by passing a custom component in the toolbar prop.

import React from 'react';
import { Create, TextInput, required } from 'react-admin';
import {
    WizardForm,
    WizardFormStep,
    WizardToolbarProps,
} from '@react-admin/ra-form-layout';

const MyToolbar = ({
    hasPreviousStep,
    hasNextStep,
    onPreviousClick,
    onNextClick,
    handleSubmit,
    handleSubmitWithRedirect,
    invalid,
    redirect,
    saving,
    submitOnEnter,
}: WizardToolbarProps) => {
    const save = handleSubmitWithRedirect || handleSubmit;

    return (
        <ul>
            {hasPreviousStep ? (
                <li>
                    <Button onClick={onPreviousClick}>PREVIOUS</Button>
                </li>
            ) : null}
            {hasNextStep ? (
                <li>
                    <Button disabled={invalid} onClick={onNextClick}>
                        NEXT
                    </Button>
                </li>
            ) : (
                <li>
                    <Button disabled={invalid} onClick={save}>
                        SAVE
                    </Button>
                </li>
            )}
        </ul>
    );
};

const PostCreate = () => (
    <Create>
        <WizardForm toolbar={MyToolbar}>
            <WizardFormStep label="First step">
                <TextInput source="title" validate={required()} />
            </WizardFormStep>
            <WizardFormStep label="Second step">
                <TextInput source="description" />
            </WizardFormStep>
            <WizardFormStep label="Third step">
                <TextInput source="fullDescription" validate={required()} />
            </WizardFormStep>
        </WizardForm>
    </Create>
);

import React from "react";
import { Create, TextInput, required } from "react-admin";
import { WizardForm, WizardFormStep } from "@react-admin/ra-form-layout";

const MyToolbar = ({
    hasPreviousStep,
    hasNextStep,

    handleSubmit,
    handleSubmitWithRedirect,
    invalid,
    redirect,
    saving,
    submitOnEnter,
}) => {
    const save = handleSubmitWithRedirect || handleSubmit;

    return (
        <ul>
            {hasPreviousStep ? (
                <li>
                    <Button onClick={onPreviousClick}>PREVIOUS</Button>
                </li>
            ) : null}
            {hasNextStep ? (
                <li>
                    <Button disabled={invalid} onClick={onNextClick}>
                        NEXT
                    </Button>
                </li>
            ) : (
                <li>
                    <Button disabled={invalid} onClick={save}>
                        SAVE
                    </Button>
                </li>
            )}
        </ul>
    );

            </WizardFormStep>
        </WizardForm>
    </Create>
);

`progress`

You can also customize the progress stepper by passing a custom component in the progress prop.

import React from 'react';
import { Create, TextInput, required } from 'react-admin';
import {
    WizardForm,
    WizardFormStep,
    WizardFormProgressProps,
} from '@react-admin/ra-form-layout';

const MyProgress = ({
    currentStep,
    onStepClick,
    steps,
}: WizardFormProgressProps) => (
    <ul>
        {steps.map((step, index) => {
            const label = React.cloneElement(step, { intent: 'label' });

            return (
                <li key={`step_${index}`}>
                    {!onStepClick ? (
                        <span
                            className={
                                currentStep === index ? 'active' : undefined
                            }
                        >
                            {label}
                        </span>
                    ) : (
                        <button onClick={() => onStepClick(index)}>
                            {label}
                        </button>
                    )}
                </li>
            );
        })}
    </ul>
);

const PostCreate = () => (
    <Create>
        <WizardForm progress={MyProgress}>
            <WizardFormStep label="First step">
                <TextInput source="title" validate={required()} />
            </WizardFormStep>
            <WizardFormStep label="Second step">
                <TextInput source="description" />
            </WizardFormStep>
            <WizardFormStep label="Third step">
                <TextInput source="fullDescription" validate={required()} />
            </WizardFormStep>
        </WizardForm>
    </Create>
);

import React from "react";
import { Create, TextInput, required } from "react-admin";
import { WizardForm, WizardFormStep } from "@react-admin/ra-form-layout";

const MyProgress = ({ currentStep, onStepClick, steps }) => (
    <ul>
        {steps.map((step, index) => {
            const label = React.cloneElement(step, { intent: "label" });

            return (
                <li key={`step_${index}`}>
                    {!onStepClick ? (
                        <span className={currentStep === index ? "active" : undefined}>{label}</span>
                    ) : (
                        <button onClick={() => onStepClick(index)}>{label}</button>
                    )}
                </li>
            );
        })}
    </ul>
);

const PostCreate = () => (
    <Create>
        <WizardForm progress={MyProgress}>
            <WizardFormStep label="First step">
                <TextInput source="title" validate={required()} />
            </WizardFormStep>
            <WizardFormStep label="Second step">
                <TextInput source="description" />
            </WizardFormStep>
            <WizardFormStep label="Third step">
                <TextInput source="fullDescription" validate={required()} />
            </WizardFormStep>
        </WizardForm>
    </Create>
);

Any additional props will be passed to the <Progress> component.

Adding a Summary Final Step

In order to add a final step with a summary of the form values before submit, you can leverage react-hook-form useWatch hook:

const FinalStepContent = () => {
    const values = useWatch({
        name: ['title', 'description', 'fullDescription'],
    });

    return values?.length > 0 ? (
        <>
            <Typography>title: {values[0]}</Typography>
            <Typography>description: {values[1]}</Typography>
            <Typography>fullDescription: {values[2]}</Typography>
        </>
    ) : null;
};

const PostCreate = () => (
    <Create>
        <WizardForm>
            <WizardFormStep label="First step">
                <TextInput source="title" validate={required()} />
            </WizardFormStep>
            <WizardFormStep label="Second step">
                <TextInput source="description" />
            </WizardFormStep>
            <WizardFormStep label="Third step">
                <TextInput source="fullDescription" validate={required()} />
            </WizardFormStep>
            <WizardFormStep label="">
                <FinalStepContent />
            </WizardFormStep>
        </WizardForm>
    </Create>
);

const FinalStepContent = () => {
    const values = useWatch({
        name: ["title", "description", "fullDescription"],
    });

    return values?.length > 0 ? (
        <>
            <Typography>title: {values[0]}</Typography>
            <Typography>description: {values[1]}</Typography>
            <Typography>fullDescription: {values[2]}</Typography>
        </>
    ) : null;
};

const PostCreate = () => (
    <Create>
        <WizardForm>
            <WizardFormStep label="First step">
                <TextInput source="title" validate={required()} />
            </WizardFormStep>
            <WizardFormStep label="Second step">
                <TextInput source="description" />
            </WizardFormStep>
            <WizardFormStep label="Third step">
                <TextInput source="fullDescription" validate={required()} />
            </WizardFormStep>
            <WizardFormStep label="">
                <FinalStepContent />
            </WizardFormStep>
        </WizardForm>
    </Create>
);

`<LongForm>`

Alternative to <SimpleForm>, to be used as child of <Create> or <Edit>. Expects <LongForm.Section> elements as children.

Test it live on the Enterprise Edition Storybook.

This component will come in handy if you need to create a long form, with many input fields divided into several sections. It makes navigation easier, by providing a TOC (Table Of Contents) and by keeping the toolbar fixed at the bottom position.

`sx`: CSS API

The <LongForm> component accepts the usual className prop. You can also override the styles of the inner components thanks to the sx property. This property accepts the following subclasses:

Rule name	Description
`RaLongForm`	Applied to the root component
`& .RaLongForm-toc`	Applied to the TOC
`& .RaLongForm-main`	Applied to the main `<Card>` component
`& .RaLongForm-toolbar`	Applied to the toolbar
`& .RaLongForm-error`	Applied to the `<MenuItem>` in case the section has validation errors

`<LongForm.Section>`

The children of <LongForm> must be <LongForm.Section> elements.

This component adds a section title (using a <Typography variant="h4">), then renders each child inside a MUI <Stack>, and finally adds an MUI <Divider> at the bottom of the section.

It accepts the following props:

Prop	Required	Type	Default	Description
`label`	Required	`string`	-	The main label used as the section title. Appears in red when the section has errors
`children`	Required	`ReactNode`	-	A list of `<Input>` elements
`cardinality`	Optional	`number`	-	A number to be displayed next to the label in TOC, to quantify it
`sx`	Optional	`object`	-	An object containing the MUI style overrides to apply to the root component

`cardinality`

The cardinality prop allows to specify a numeral quantity to be displayed next to the section label in the TOC.

`<CreateDialog>`, `<EditDialog>` & `<ShowDialog>`

Sometimes it makes sense to edit or create a resource without leaving the context of the list page. For those cases, you can use the <CreateDialog> and <EditDialog> components.

They accept a single child which is the form, either a <SimpleForm>, a <TabbedForm> or a custom one, just like the <Create> and <Edit> components.

Tip: In the example above, we added the hasCreate prop to the <List> component. This is necessary in order to display the "Create" button, because react-admin has no way to know that there exists a creation form for the "customer" resource otherwise.

Unlike the <Create> and <Edit> components, their title will be displayed in the <Dialog>, not in the <AppBar>.

If you pass a title component, it will renders in the same RecordContext as the EditDialog child component. That means you can display non-editable details of the current record in the title component. It work the same for ShowDialog:
