## Usage
Use the Form component to validate form data using schema libraries such as [Yup](https://github.com/jquense/yup), [Zod](https://github.com/colinhacks/zod), [Joi](https://github.com/hapijs/joi), [Valibot](https://github.com/fabian-hiller/valibot), [Superstruct](https://github.com/ianstormtaylor/superstruct), or your own validation logic.
It works with the [FormGroup](/components/form-group) component to display error messages around form elements automatically.
The form component requires two props:
- `state` - a reactive object holding the form's state.
- `schema` - a schema object from a validation library like [Yup](https://github.com/jquense/yup), [Zod](https://github.com/colinhacks/zod), [Joi](https://github.com/hapijs/joi), [Valibot](https://github.com/fabian-hiller/valibot) or [Superstruct](https://github.com/ianstormtaylor/superstruct).

Note that **no validation library is included** by default, so ensure you **install the one you need**.

## Custom validation
Use the `validate` prop to apply your own validation logic.
The validation function must return a list of errors with the following attributes:
- `message` - Error message for display.
- `path` - Path to the form element corresponding to the `name` attribute.
::callout{icon="i-heroicons-light-bulb"}
Note that it can be used alongside the `schema` prop to handle complex use cases.
::
::component-example
---
component: 'form-example-basic'
componentProps:
class: 'w-60'
---
::
This can also be used to integrate with other validation libraries. Here is an example with [Vuelidate](https://github.com/vuelidate/vuelidate):
```vue
<script setup lang="ts">
import useVuelidate from '@vuelidate/core'
const props = defineProps({
rules: { type: Object, required: true },
model: { type: Object, required: true }
})
const form = ref();
const v = useVuelidate(props.rules, props.model)
async function validateWithVuelidate() {
v.value.$touch()
await v.value.$validate()
return v.value.$errors.map((error) => ({
message: error.$message,
path: error.$propertyPath,
}))
}
defineExpose({
validate: async () => {
await form.value.validate()
}
})
</script>
<template>
<UForm ref="form" :state="model" :validate="validateWithVuelidate">
<slot />
</UForm>
</template>
```
## Backend validation
You can manually set errors after form submission if required. To do this, simply use the `form.setErrors` function to set the errors as needed.
```vue
<script setup lang="ts">
import type { Form, FormSubmitEvent } from '#ui/types'
interface Schema {
email?: string
password?: string
}
const state = reactive<Schema>({
email: undefined,
password: undefined
})
const form = ref<Form<Schema>>()
async function onSubmit (event: FormSubmitEvent<Schema>) {
form.value!.clear()
try {
const response = await $fetch('...')
// ...
} catch (err) {
if (err.statusCode === 422) {
form.value!.setErrors(err.data.errors.map((err) => ({
// Map validation errors to { path: string, message: string }
message: err.message,
path: err.path,
})))
}
}
}
</script>
<template>
<UForm ref="form" :state="state" @submit="onSubmit">
<UFormGroup label="Email" name="email">
<UInput v-model="state.email" />
</UFormGroup>
<UFormGroup label="Password" name="password">
<UInput v-model="state.password" type="password" />
</UFormGroup>
<UButton type="submit">
Submit
</UButton>
</UForm>
</template>
```
## Input events
The Form component automatically triggers validation upon `submit`, `input`, `blur` or `change` events.
This ensures that any errors are displayed as soon as the user interacts with the form elements. You can control when validation happens this using the `validate-on` prop.
::callout{icon="i-heroicons-light-bulb"}
Note that the `input` event is not triggered until after the initial `blur` event. This is to prevent the form from being validated as the user is typing. You can override this behavior by setting the [`eager-validation`](/components/form-group#eager-validation) prop on [`FormGroup`](/components/form-group) to `true`.

Take a look at the component!

## Error event
You can listen to the `@error` event to handle errors. This event is triggered when the form is submitted and contains an array of `FormError` objects with the following fields:
- `id` - the identifier of the form element.
- `path` - the path to the form element matching the `name`.
- `message` - the error message to display.
Here's an example that focuses the first input element with an error after the form is submitted:
::component-example
---
component: 'form-example-on-error'
componentProps:
class: 'w-60'
---

## Props
:component-props
## API
When accessing the component via a template ref, you can use the following:
::field-group
::field{name="submit ()" type="Promise<void>"}
Triggers form submission.
::
::field{name="validate (path?: string | string[], opts: { silent?: boolean })" type="Promise<T>"}
Triggers form validation. Will raise any errors unless `opts.silent` is set to true.
::
::field{name="clear (path?: string)"}
Clears form errors associated with a specific path. If no path is provided, clears all form errors.
::
::field{name="getErrors (path?: string)" type="FormError[]"}
Retrieves form errors associated with a specific path. If no path is provided, returns all form errors.
::
::field{name="setErrors (errors: FormError[], path?: string)"}
Sets form errors for a given path. If no path is provided, overrides all errors.
::
::field{name="errors" type="Ref<FormError[]>"}
A reference to the array containing validation errors. Use this to access or manipulate the error information.
