Now that we have created a custom hook to write data to Firestore, we need to build a form to create a new task
.
The example below is straightforward:
- We have a form with two input fields
- When the form is submitted, we read the data using
FormData
- Finally, we add the document using the callback returned by the hook
useCreateTask

const createTask = useCreateTask();

const organization = useCurrentOrganization();
const organizationId = organization?.id as string;

const target = event.currentTarget;
const data = new FormData(target);

const dueDate = (data.get('dueDate') as string) || getDefaultDueDate();
setLoading(true);

organizationId,

const promise = createTask(task).then(() => {
