I can help you create a generic form using useForm
from react-hook-form
and zod
for validation, which can work with a Pydantic JSON schema. This approach will allow you to dynamically generate forms based on Pydantic models.
Let's create a React component that can take a Pydantic JSON schema and generate a form with proper validation. We'll use zod
to create a schema that matches the Pydantic model, and then use useForm
with @hookform/resolvers/zod
to handle form state and validation.
This setup creates a generic form component that can work with any Pydantic JSON schema. Here's how it works:
pydanticToZod
function in schemaConverter.ts
converts a Pydantic JSON schema to a Zod schema. This allows us to use Zod for validation while still accepting Pydantic schemas.GenericForm
component takes a schema and an onSubmit function as props. It uses the pydanticToZod
function to convert the Pydantic schema to a Zod schema, which is then used with useForm
and zodResolver
for form handling and validation.page.tsx
, we define a sample Pydantic-like schema and use it with the GenericForm
component.To use this in your project:
npm install react-hook-form @hookform/resolvers zod
schemaConverter.ts
and GenericForm.tsx
files into your project.GenericForm
component in your pages or components, passing it a Pydantic JSON schema and an onSubmit handler.This setup provides a flexible way to create forms based on Pydantic models, with proper validation using Zod. You can easily extend the pydanticToZod
function to handle more complex field types if needed.
I understand that you're encountering an error when trying to use the generic form component. Let's analyze and fix this issue.
Let's revise the code to address this error. We'll update the pydanticToZod
function in the schemaConverter.ts
file to handle cases where the required
field might be missing from the schema.
These changes should resolve the error you were encountering. Here's a summary of the modifications:
schemaConverter.ts
, we've made the required
field optional in the PydanticSchema
type and added a check to see if schema.required
exists before using it.GenericForm.tsx
, we've added a check to ensure that the schema and its properties exist before rendering the form. If they don't, we display an error message.page.tsx
, we've updated the exampleSchema
to include the required
field, which was missing in the previous version.These changes should make the code more robust and able to handle cases where the schema might not have all the expected fields. The error you were seeing should now be resolved, and the form should render correctly.
If you're still experiencing issues, please let me know, and I'll be happy to help you further debug the problem.
can you do something more complex like this {'$defs': {'Currency': {'description': 'Currency model.', 'properties': {'amount': {'description': 'The amount ' 'of the ' 'currency.', 'title': 'Amount', 'type': 'number'}, 'currency': {'$ref': '#/$defs/CurrencyType', 'description': 'The type ' 'of the ' 'currency.'}}, 'required': ['amount', 'currency'], 'title': 'Currency', 'type': 'object'}, 'CurrencyType': {'enum': ['nis', 'usd'], 'title': 'CurrencyType', 'type': 'string'}}, 'description': 'Configuration for the application scope.', 'properties': {'cuurency': {'$ref': '#/$defs/Currency', 'description': 'The currency.'}, 'inactivity_days': {'description': 'The number of days of ' 'inactivity to consider an ' 'account stale.', 'format': 'date-time', 'title': 'Inactivity Days', 'type': 'string'}}, 'required': ['inactivity_days', 'cuurency'], 'title': 'AppScopeConfig', 'type': 'object'}
