React Form - Overview

The Form UI component represents fields of a data object as a collection of label-editor pairs. These pairs can be arranged in several groups, tabs and columns.

The following code adds the Form UI component to your page. The simplest configuration of this UI component includes only a data object.

App.js
  • import React from 'react';
  •  
  • import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.common.css';
  • import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.light.css';
  •  
  • import Form from 'devextreme-react/form';
  •  
  • const employee = {
  • firstName: 'John',
  • lastName: 'Heart',
  • position: 'CEO',
  • officeNo: 901,
  • birthDate: new Date(1964, 3, 15),
  • hireDate: new Date(2012, 4, 13),
  • city: 'Los Angeles',
  • phone: '+1(213) 555-9392',
  • email: 'jheart@dx-email.com'
  • };
  •  
  • class App extends React.Component {
  • render() {
  • return (
  • <Form formData={employee} />
  • );
  • }
  • }
  •  
  • export default App;

The configuration above creates one label-editor pair per each field of the data object. Such a pair is called "simple item". Simple items can be organized in groups, tabs and columns.
