How can I create custom input components with React Hook Form?

You can create custom input components by using the Controller component from React Hook Form. This allows you to integrate your custom inputs seamlessly.

Can you show me an example of a custom input component?

Sure! Here's a simple example of a custom text input component:

import React from 'react';
import { Controller } from 'react-hook-form';

const CustomInput = ({ control, name }) => {
  return (
    <Controller
      name={name}
      control={control}
      render={({ field }) => <input {...field} />}
    />
  );
};

This component uses the Controller to manage the input's state.

What if I want to add validation to my custom input?

You can add validation by passing the rules prop to the Controller. For example:

<Controller
  name={name}
  control={control}
  rules={{ required: true }}
  render={({ field }) => <input {...field} />}
/>

This will make the input required.

How do I handle form submission with these custom inputs?

You can handle form submission by using the handleSubmit function provided by React Hook Form. Here's an example:

const onSubmit = data => {
  console.log(data);
};

<form onSubmit={handleSubmit(onSubmit)}>
  <CustomInput control={control} name='myInput' />
  <button type='submit'>Submit</button>
</form>
