Form
Overview
In Next.js applications, handling form submissions and click events on the client side can lead to errors if not managed correctly. A common practice to address this issue is to use the 'use client' directive at the top of each page containing a form. However, this can be repetitive and error-prone when forms are used extensively throughout the project. To simplify this process, we have created a custom FormComponent
that incorporates 'use client', reducing its usage to just one place in the project.
Usage
To use the FormComponent in your Next.js application, follow these steps:
import Form from '@components/Form'
function MyForm() {
const handleSubmit = (event) => {
// Handle form submission
event.preventDefault();
// Form submission logic
};
return (
<Form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
{/* Your form fields */}
</Form>
);
}
Handling Submissions: The onSubmit
prop is used to define the form submission logic. This method is similar to how it's used with a standard <form>
element.
