Form

A wrapper component that handles the submission of forms.

Form component examples

Use onSubmit as a callback for when your form is submitted.

import {Form, FormLayout, Checkbox, TextField, Button} from '@shopify/polaris';
import {useState, useCallback} from 'react';

function FormOnSubmitExample() {
  const [newsletter, setNewsletter] = useState(false);
  const [email, setEmail] = useState('');

  const handleSubmit = useCallback(() => {
    setEmail('');
    setNewsletter(false);
  }, []);

  const handleNewsLetterChange = useCallback(
    (value: boolean) => setNewsletter(value),
    [],
  );

  const handleEmailChange = useCallback((value: string) => setEmail(value), []);

  return (
    <Form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
      <FormLayout>
        <Checkbox
          label="Sign up for the Polaris newsletter"
          checked={newsletter}
          onChange={handleNewsLetterChange}
        />

        <TextField
          value={email}
          onChange={handleEmailChange}
          label="Email"
          type="email"
          autoComplete="email"
          helpText={
            <span>
              We’ll use this email address to inform you on future changes to
              Polaris.
            </span>
          }
        />

        <Button submit>Submit</Button>
      </FormLayout>
    </Form>
  );
}

Best practices

The form component should be used to:

  • Wrap around all form input elements
  • Emulate the native HTML form element behavior with a custom onSubmit callback


Accessibility

The form component wraps content in an HTML <form> element. This helps to support assistive technologies that use different interaction and browse modes.

Forms can have only one submit button and it must be at the end of the form. By default, buttons added to the form are given a type attribute set to button to avoid conflicts. To make a button the submit button instead (type="submit"), set the submit prop on the button.

Keyboard support

By default, the implicitSubmit prop is set to true. This allows merchants to submit the form with the enter/return key when focus is in any text field inside the form. This provides a shortcut for keyboard users. If this behavior doesn’t fit the form, then set the prop to false.
