Building with AdonisJS & Inertia

Building with AdonisJS & Inertia #3.2

The useForm Helper

In This Lesson

We'll introduce the useForm helper composable provided by InertiaJS. We'll refactor our current form to use the useForm helper instead and see how it can help manage our form state, errors, and submission.

    Hi! Just wanted to share that a new update for @adonisjs/inertia has been released. You no longer need to declare errors in the Inertia config, and errors are now returned as a single string instead of an array of strings.

      Yes, thank you for sharing!! Once completed, we'll be adding a new module to the end of this series covering what's new in Inertia v2 and the AdonisJS adapter and I'll circle back and add/edit some lessons to include notes for outdated things like this.

    Just my finding about @adonisjs/inertia update is that if you are using react and you consume errors via form.erros you must send post request using form.post otherwise (if you use router.post errors) it always empty (I think they not sync with props.errors )

      Hi inox! Yes, that's correct! You have to send the request via the useForm composable in order for that composable to be able to digest any validation errors into its state.
