The group input allows you to structure data from child inputs as an object. The group itself outputs no markup (by default) and can be used in conjunction with any other type of input — including nested groups and lists.
The value of a group input is an object where the keys are the names of the inputs, and the object’s values are each input’s value. In addition to structuring data, groups can determine the validation state, provide initial values, and supply plugins and configuration to all of its children.
Groups are always aware of the validation state of their children (including nested children). You can access this data in the context object of the input (context.state.valid).
| Prop | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| disabled | Boolean | false | Disables all the inputs in the group. |
| Show Universal Props | |||
| config | Object | {} | Configuration options to provide to the input’s node and any descendent node of this input. |
| delay | Number | 20 | Number of milliseconds to debounce an input’s value before the commit hook is dispatched. |
| errors | Array | [] | Array of strings to show as error messages on this field. |
| help | String | '' | Text for help text associated with the input. |
| id | String | input_{n} | The unique id of the input. Providing an id also allows the input’s node to be globally accessed. |
| ignore | Boolean | false | Prevents an input from being included in any parent (group, list, form etc). Useful when using inputs for UI instead of actual values. |
| label | String | '' | Text for the label element associated with the input. |
| name | String | input_{n} | The name of the input as identified in the data object. This should be unique within a group of fields. |
| preserve | boolean | false | Preserves the value of the input on a parent group, list, or form when the input unmounts. |
| sections-schema | Object | {} | An object of section keys and schema partial values, where each schema partial is applied to the respective section. |
| type | String | text | The type of input to render from the library. |
| validation | String, Array | [] | The validation rules to be applied to the input. |
| validation-visibility | String | blur | Determines when to show an input's failing validation rules. Valid values are blur, dirty, and live. |
| validation-label | String | {label prop} | Determines what label to use in validation error messages, by default it uses the label prop if available, otherwise it uses the name prop. |
| validation-rules | Object | {} | Additional custom validation rules to make available to the validation prop. |
