Forms

Learn how to build forms in the Remix Firebase kit

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:

  1. We have a form with two input fields
  2. When the form is submitted, we read the data using FormData
  3. Finally, we add the document using the callback returned by the hook useCreateTask
components/tasks/CreateTaskForm.tsx
import { useNavigate } from '@remix-run/react'; import { FormEventHandler, useCallback } from 'react'; import TextField from '~/core/ui/TextField'; import Button from '~/core/ui/Button'; import useCreateTask from '~/lib/tasks/hooks/use-create-task'; import { useCurrentOrganization } from '~/lib/organizations/hooks/use-current-organization'; const CreateTaskForm = () => { const createTask = useCreateTask(); const navigate = useNavigate(); const organization = useCurrentOrganization(); const organizationId = organization?.id as string; const onCreateTask: FormEventHandler<HTMLFormElement> = useCallback( async (event) => { event.preventDefault(); const target = event.currentTarget; const data = new FormData(target); const name = data.get('name') as string; const dueDate = data.get('dueDate') as string; const task = { organizationId, name, dueDate, done: false, }; // create task await createTask(task); // redirect to /tasks await navigate(`/tasks`); }, [navigate, createTask, organizationId] ); return ( <form onSubmit={onCreateTask}> <div> <TextField.Label> Name <TextField.Input required name={'name'} placeholder={'ex. Launch on IndieHackers'} /> <TextField.Hint>Hint: whatever you do, ship!</TextField.Hint> </TextField.Label> <TextField.Label> Due date <TextField.Input required name={'dueDate'} type={'date'} /> </TextField.Label> <div> <Button> Create Task </Button> </div> </div> </form> ); }; export default CreateTaskForm;
