React Hook Form move items between useFieldArray lists

I'm using React Hook Form to build a basic page builder application and it's been brilliant so far, I've been using the useFieldArray hook to create lists that contain items, however, I haven't found a way to move items between lists.
I know I can use the move() function to reorder items within the same list, however, since each list has its own nested useFieldArray I can't move the item from one list component to another list component.
If anyone knows of a way around this it would be much appreciated!
Here is a very simplified example of my current setup:
export const App = () => {
const methods = useForm({
defaultValues: {
lists: [
{
list_id: 1,
items: [
{
item_id: 1,
name: 'Apple'
},
{
item_id: 2,
name: 'Orange'
}
]
},
{
list_id: 2,
items: [
{
item_id: 3,
name: 'Banana'
},
{
item_id: 4,
name: 'Lemon'
}
]
}
]
}
});
return (
<FormProvider {...methods}>
<Page/>
</FormProvider>
)
}
export const Page = () => {
const { control } = useFormContext();
const { fields } = useFieldArray({
control,
name: 'lists'
})
return (
<ul>
{fields?.map((field, index) => (
<List listIdx={index} />
))}
</ul>
)
}
export const List = ({ listIdx }) => {
const { control, watch } = useFormContext();
const { fields, move } = useFieldArray({
control,
name: `lists[${sectionIdx}].items`
})
const handleMove = (prevIdx, nextIdx) => {
// this allows me to move within lists but not between them
move(prevIdx, nextIdx);
}
return (
<li>
<p>ID: {watch(lists[${listIdx}].list_id)}</p>
<ul>
{fields?.map((field, index) => (
<Item listIdx={index} itemIdx={index} handleMove={handleMove}/>
))}
</ul>
</li>
)
}
export const Item = ({ listIdx, itemIdx, handleMove }) => {
const { control, register } = useFormContext();
return (
<li>
<p>ID: {watch(lists[${listIdx}].items[${itemIdx}].item_id)}</p>
<label
Name:
<input { ...register('lists[${listIdx}].items[${itemIdx}]) }/>
/>
<button onClick={() => handleMove(itemIdx, itemIdx - 1)}>Up</button>
<button onClick={() => handleMove(itemIdx, itemIdx + 1)}>Down</button>
</div>
)
}
Thanks in advance!

If you'd not like to alter your default values (your data structure), I think the best way to handle this is using update method returning from useFieldArray. You have the data of both inputs that are going to be moved around, knowing their list index and item index, you could easily update their current positions with each other's data.

Using JsonSchemaForm on change to update field's content

I am trying to use JsonSchema-Form component but i ran into a problem while trying to create a form that, after choosing one of the options in the first dropdown a secondary dropdown should appear and give him the user a different set o options to choose depending on what he chose in the first dropdown trough an API call.
The thing is, after reading the documentation and some examples found here and here respectively i still don't know exactly how reference whatever i chose in the first option to affect the second dropdown. Here is an example of what i have right now:
Jsons information that are supposed to be shown in the first and second dropdowns trough api calls:
Groups: [
{id: 1,
name: Group1}
{id: 2,
name: Group2}
]
User: [User1.1,User1.2,User2.1,User2.2,User3.1,User3.2, ....]
If the user selects group one then i must use the following api call to get the user types, which gets me the the USER json.
Component That calls JSonChemaForm
render(){
return(
<JsonSchemaForm
schema={someSchema(GroupOptions)}
formData={this.state.formData}
onChange={{}}
uiSchema={someUiSchema()}
onError={() => {}}
showErrorList={false}
noHtml5Validate
liveValidate
>
)
}
SchemaFile content:
export const someSchema = GroupOptions => ({
type: 'object',
required: [
'groups', 'users',
],
properties: {
groups: {
title: 'Group',
enum: GroupOptions.map(i=> i.id),
enumNames: GroupOptions.map(n => n.name),
},
users: {
title: 'Type',
enum: [],
enumNames: [],
},
},
});
export const someUISchema = () => ({
groups: {
'ui:autofocus': true,
'ui:options': {
size: {
lg: 15,
},
},
},
types: {
'ui:options': {
size: {
lg: 15,
},
},
},
});
I am not really sure how to proceed with this and hwo to use the Onchange method to do what i want.

I find a solution for your problem.There is a similar demo that can solve it in react-jsonschema-form-layout.
1. define the LayoutField,this is part of the demo in react-jsonschema-form-layout.To make it easier for you,I post the code here.
Create the layoutField.js.:
import React from 'react'
import ObjectField from 'react-jsonschema-form/lib/components/fields/ObjectField'
import { retrieveSchema } from 'react-jsonschema-form/lib/utils'
import { Col } from 'react-bootstrap'
export default class GridField extends ObjectField {
state = { firstName: 'hasldf' }
render() {
const {
uiSchema,
errorSchema,
idSchema,
required,
disabled,
readonly,
onBlur,
formData
} = this.props
const { definitions, fields, formContext } = this.props.registry
const { SchemaField, TitleField, DescriptionField } = fields
const schema = retrieveSchema(this.props.schema, definitions)
const title = (schema.title === undefined) ? '' : schema.title
const layout = uiSchema['ui:layout']
return (
<fieldset>
{title ? <TitleField
id={`${idSchema.$id}__title`}
title={title}
required={required}
formContext={formContext}/> : null}
{schema.description ?
<DescriptionField
id={`${idSchema.$id}__description`}
description={schema.description}
formContext={formContext}/> : null}
{
layout.map((row, index) => {
return (
<div className="row" key={index}>
{
Object.keys(row).map((name, index) => {
const { doShow, ...rowProps } = row[name]
let style = {}
if (doShow && !doShow({ formData })) {
style = { display: 'none' }
}
if (schema.properties[name]) {
return (
<Col {...rowProps} key={index} style={style}>
<SchemaField
name={name}
required={this.isRequired(name)}
schema={schema.properties[name]}
uiSchema={uiSchema[name]}
errorSchema={errorSchema[name]}
idSchema={idSchema[name]}
formData={formData[name]}
onChange={this.onPropertyChange(name)}
onBlur={onBlur}
registry={this.props.registry}
disabled={disabled}
readonly={readonly}/>
</Col>
)
} else {
const { render, ...rowProps } = row[name]
let UIComponent = () => null
if (render) {
UIComponent = render
}
return (
<Col {...rowProps} key={index} style={style}>
<UIComponent
name={name}
formData={formData}
errorSchema={errorSchema}
uiSchema={uiSchema}
schema={schema}
registry={this.props.registry}
/>
</Col>
)
}
})
}
</div>
)
})
}</fieldset>
)
}
}
in the file, you can define doShow property to define whether to show another component.
Next.Define the isFilled function in JsonChemaForm
const isFilled = (fieldName) => ({ formData }) => (formData[fieldName] && formData[fieldName].length) ? true : false
Third,after you choose the first dropdown ,the second dropdown will show up
import LayoutField from './layoutField.js'
const fields={
layout: LayoutField
}
const uiSchema={
"ui:field": 'layout',
'ui:layout': [
{
groups: {
'ui:autofocus': true,
'ui:options': {
size: {
lg: 15,
},
},
}
},
{
users: {
'ui:options': {
size: {
lg: 15,
},
},
doShow: isFilled('groups')
}
}
]
}
...
render() {
return (
<div>
<Form
schema={schema}
uiSchema={uiSchema}
fields={fields}
/>
</div>
)
}

Implementing pagination in React that displays 15 items per page from a JSON file

I am having issues on even trying to get started with doing pagination without the use of any packages. I am pulling data from a JSON file that contains about 30-32 quotes. I need 15 quotes per page to be displayed and have no idea how to even do that using React. So far what I have is all the quotes being displayed by default. I have three buttons, each filters through the JSON to provide quotes by the theme of the quote which is displayed by the button. This is how far I got:
class App extends Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state ={
results: quotes,
search: ""
}
}
gameFilterClick = event => {
event.preventDefault();
const games = [];
for(let i = 0; i < quotes.length; i++){
if (quotes[i].theme === "games"){
games.push(quotes[i])
}
}
this.setState({results: games})
}
movieFilterClick = event => {
event.preventDefault();
console.log('blah!!')
const movies = [];
for(let i =0; i < quotes.length; i++){
if(quotes[i].theme === 'movies'){
movies.push(quotes[i])
}
}
this.setState({results: movies})
}
allButtonClick = event => {
this.setState({results: quotes})
}
quoteSearch = query => {
let search = quotes.map
}
render() {
return (
<div className="App">
<h1>Quotes</h1>
<Search />
<div id='buttons'>
Filters:
<button onClick={this.allButtonClick}>All Quotes</button>
<button onClick={this.gameFilterClick}>Games</button>
<button onClick={this.movieFilterClick}>Movies</button>
</div>
<div id='resultsDiv'>
<Results
results={this.state.results}
/>
</div>
</div>
);
}
}
export default App;

I would recommend using react-bootstrap for this. You'll need to install two packages (they use to come in one, but now pagination package is separated):
react-bootstrap-table-next
react-bootstrap-table2-paginator
So, let's install them:
npm i --save react-bootstrap-table-next
npm i react-bootstrap-table2-paginator
And here goes a simple example of implementation:
import BootstrapTable from 'react-bootstrap-table-next';
import paginationFactory from 'react-bootstrap-table2-paginator';
// Let's imagine this is your JSON data
const yourJsonData = [{id: 1, author: "David Goggins", quote: "Life goes on"},
{ id: 2, author: "Robert Green", quote: "yes it does"}]:
// Here we define your columns
const columns = [{
dataField: 'author',
text: 'AUTHOR'
}, {
dataField: 'quote',
text: 'QUOTE'
}];
// Give it an option to show all quotes
let allQuotes = Number(yourJsonData.length);
// Set all of the major pagination options. You can reduce them if you want less
const options = {
paginationSize: 15,
pageStartIndex: 0,
firstPageText: 'First',
prePageText: 'Back',
nextPageText: 'Next',
lastPageText: 'Last',
nextPageTitle: 'First page',
prePageTitle: 'Pre page',
firstPageTitle: 'Next page',
lastPageTitle: 'Last page',
sizePerPageList: [{
text: 'show 15', value: 15
}, {
text: 'show 30', value: 30
}, {
text: 'Show all', value: allQuotes
}]
};
... and then somewhere later in your code where you want to display the table with pagination you just insert this:
<BootstrapTable
keyField='rowNumber'
data={ yourJsonData }
columns={ columns }
pagination={ paginationFactory(options) } />
I hope this solves your problem.

I've simplified your filtering logic and added client side pagination. Check out this simple working example (i've set item per page to 3, you can add more data and change it to 15 const QUOTES_PER_PAGE = <number of quotes per page>;)
const QUOTES_PER_PAGE = 3;
const Quote = ({text}) => <li>{text}</li>;
const Pagination = ({pages, goTo}) => (
<div>
{pages.map((p, i) => (
<button key={i} onClick={goTo} value={i}>{i+1}</button>
))}
</div>
)
class App extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
page: 0,
pagedQuoutes: this.divideQuoutesIntoPages(props.quotes)
};
}
divideQuoutesIntoPages = (quotes => {
const pagedQuotes = [];
[...Array(Math.ceil(quotes.length/QUOTES_PER_PAGE))].forEach((q, i) => {
pagedQuotes.push(quotes.slice(0 + QUOTES_PER_PAGE*i, QUOTES_PER_PAGE + QUOTES_PER_PAGE*i))
})
return pagedQuotes;
})
filterQuoutes = (evt) => {
const filterValue = evt.target.value;
const filteredQuoutes = this.props.quotes.filter(q => !filterValue || q.theme === filterValue);
this.setState({
pagedQuoutes: this.divideQuoutesIntoPages(filteredQuoutes)
})
}
goToPage = (evt) => {
this.setState({
page: evt.target.value
})
}
render() {
return (
<div>
<h1>Quotes</h1>
<div>
Filters:
<button onClick={this.filterQuoutes}>All Quotes</button>
<button onClick={this.filterQuoutes} value="games">Games</button>
<button onClick={this.filterQuoutes} value="movies">Movies</button>
</div>
{this.state.pagedQuoutes[this.state.page]
.map(q => (
<ul>
<Quote {...q} />
</ul>
))}
<Pagination pages={this.state.pagedQuoutes} goTo={this.goToPage} />
</div>
);
}
}
const exampleQuotes = [{
theme: 'games',
text: 'games q1'
}, {
theme: 'games',
text: 'games q2'
}, {
theme: 'games',
text: 'games q3'
}, {
theme: 'games',

}, {
theme: 'movies',

}, {
theme: 'movies',

}, {

text: 'movies q3'
}]
ReactDOM.render(<App quotes={exampleQuotes} />, document.getElementById("el"))

React data components table does not render HTML

https://github.com/carlosrocha/react-data-components package does not allow sending html into a td cell. See:
My goal is hyperlink to that product.
My use is:
import React from 'react';
var DataTable = require('react-data-components').DataTable;
import PlainTable from './PlainTable'
class ReduxDataTable extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
}
processHeaders(){
var columns = [];
for (let i = 0; i < this.props.data.headers.length; i++){
var header = this.props.data.headers[i];
var item = {title: header, prop: header};
columns.push(item);
}
return columns;
}
render() {
var dataList = this.props.data.data;
console.log("datalist is", dataList);
console.log("datalist length is", dataList.length);
var headerList = this.processHeaders();
if(dataList.length > 2) {
return (
<DataTable
keys="name"
columns={headerList}
initialData={dataList}
initialPageLength={20}
initialSortBy={{ prop: headerList[0].title, order: 'descending' }}
pageLengthOptions={[ 20, 60, 120 ]}
/>
);
}
else {
return (
<PlainTable
headers={headerList}
rows={dataList}
/>
);
}
}
}
export { ReduxDataTable as default };
then just
return (
<div className="card">
<h2 className="style-1">Detailed Report</h2>
<br/>
<h2 className="style-1:after">Data about products </h2>
<ReduxDataTable data={data}/>
</div>
)
Plain table is a <table> in case there's few products.
The package does not show any "htmlTrue" option, as searching "html" show nothing useful. I'm getting the same issue with any html at all:
I'm not opposed to forking it, but is there a simple way to use this package and declare html here?

I didn't use that component, but looking through the code, it seems that you can use a render function to do what you need. See here: https://github.com/carlosrocha/react-data-components/blob/3d092bd375da0df9428ef02f18a64d056a2ea5d0/src/Table.js#L13
See the example here https://github.com/carlosrocha/react-data-components/blob/master/example/table/main.js#L17
Relevant code snippet:
const renderMapUrl =
(val, row) =>
<a href={`https://www.google.com/maps?q=${row['lat']},${row['long']}`}>
Google Maps
</a>;
const tableColumns = [
{ title: 'Name', prop: 'name' },
{ title: 'City', prop: 'city' },
{ title: 'Street address', prop: 'street' },
{ title: 'Phone', prop: 'phone', defaultContent: '<no phone>' },
{ title: 'Map', render: renderMapUrl, className: 'text-center' },
];
return (
<DataTable
className="container"
keys="id"
columns={tableColumns}
initialData={data}
initialPageLength={5}
initialSortBy={{ prop: 'city', order: 'descending' }}
pageLengthOptions={[ 5, 20, 50 ]}
/>
);
Try adding the render property to your dataList. Maybe something like this
var dataList = this.props.data.data;
for (let i=0; i<dataList.length; i++)
dataList[i].render = function(val, row) {return (
<a href={row.href}>row.title</a>
)}

Count checked checkboxes in React.js

I'm using a document structure like this
render() {
return (
<div className="MyComponent">
<ul className="">
{parseRecommendations(this.props.recommendations)}
</ul>
</div>
);
}
function parseRecomendations(recommendations) {
return recommendations.map((recommendation, key) => {
return (<Recommendation data={recommendation} key={key} />);
});
}
Where each Recommendation is its own component containing a checkbox
class Recommendation extends Component {
const recommendation = this.props.data;
const pageUrl = recommendation.url;
return (
<li className="article-item" key={key}>
<div className="article-info">
<input type="checkbox" defaultChecked="checked" aria-described-by={recommendation.pii} />
<a className="journal-title" href={pageUrl} id={recommendation.pii}>{recommendation.title}</a>
</div>
</li>
);
I'd like to have a title saying [Download (x) PDFs], where x is the number of selected checkboxes. How do I find the value of x in this case?

You need to store information about whether input is "checked" in your data. Then, simply count items with truthy "checked" flag.
Here is my solution. You should be able to get principle here and modify your code.
const data = [
{ checked: false, value: 'document 1' },
{ checked: true, value: 'document 2' },
{ checked: true, value: 'document 3' },
{ checked: false, value: 'document 4' },
{ checked: false, value: 'document 5' },
];
const Item = props => (
<div>
<input type="checkbox" checked={props.checked} onChange={props.onCheckChange} />
{ props.value }
</div>
)
var Hello = React.createClass({
getInitialState() {
return {
items: this.props.items.concat(),
};
},
onCheckChange(idx) {
return () => {
const items = this.state.items.concat();
items[idx].checked = !items[idx].checked;
this.setState({items});
}
},
totalChecked() {
return this.state.items.filter(props => props.checked).length;
},
render() {
return (
<div>
{ this.state.items.map((props, idx) => (
<Item {...props} key={idx} onCheckChange={this.onCheckChange(idx)} />
)) }
Total checked: { this.totalChecked() }
</div>
);
}
});
ReactDOM.render(
<Hello items={data} />,
document.getElementById('container')
);

If you just want to get the number of selected check-boxes you can try this
let checkedBoxes = document.querySelectorAll('input[name=chkBox]:checked');
Then get the total checked boxes via checkedBoxes.length
Edit:
Instead of querying whole document. You can get the nearest possible parent via getElementsByClassName or getElementById and then apply querySelectorAll on that element.
e.g
let elem = document.getElementsByClassName("MyComponent");
let checkedBoxes = elem.querySelectorAll('input[name=chkBox]:checked');

You also could obtain the total of selected checkboxes by element type. The "console.log(totalSelectedCheckboxes)" will print them when the state of totalSelectedCheckboxes change using useEffect Hook.
import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
const RenderCheckboxes = () => {
const [totalSelectedCheckboxes, setTotalSelectedCheckboxes] = useState(0);
function handleChk() {
setTotalSelectedCheckboxes(document.querySelectorAll('input[type=checkbox]:checked').length);
}
useEffect(() => {
console.log(totalSelectedCheckboxes);
}, [totalSelectedCheckboxes]);
return (<div>
<div>
<input type="checkbox" value={1} onChange={() => handleChk()} />Chk1
</div>
<div>
<input type="checkbox" value={2} onChange={() => handleChk()} />Chk2
</div>
<div>
<input type="checkbox" value={2} onChange={() => handleChk()} />Chk2
</div>
</div>);
}
export default RenderCheckboxes;
