Can this library be used without react-jsonschema-vis

[loganpowell]

I think this is what I'm looking for. I'm having difficulties wrapping reactstrap with redux-form or vice versa to get the styles from reactstrap to work with redux-form.

My question: If I don't want to predefine my schema, but still want to use this libarary, is that possible? If so, how? If not, I'm still not sure how to use it... any plans on building out the docs?

Thanks for your interest in this library. In theory you could use this without react-jsonschema-vis but you'd have to pass in some attributes as a "schema" object to the component. The input components require a field schema object to get attributes like title, description, etc. in order to render the input field. I wouldn't recommend using this without react-jsonschema-vis. I think it will cause more headaches than it saves you.

I had issues getting reactstrap to use my inline style object to override their styles. I think there is a bug. I was able to override it with css (in my case Jss). I think your best option is to use the code here as examples on how to use reactstrap with redux-form. If you have a specific issue with the integration, post your question on stackoverflow and link it here and I can see if I can answer it for you.

Good luck!

I would start InputField.js#L63 then follow the rabbit hole to InputField.js#L11 and finally to FormField.js#L14

If you are new to redux-form then I would start with their extensive documentation, Getting Started with Redux-Form

I'm looking for the exact same thing, is a crazy idea to say split up the packages? One that wraps the redux-form elements in reactstrap and another one (on top of that) applying the json schemes?

[nikordaris]

@patvdleer I'm definitely not against this. The standard input fields are straight forward enough that a library that combined redux-form and reactstrap wouldn't buy devs much and it would lock them in to a third party library that would need to be maintained to keep up with redux-form and reactstrap changes. The select and modal components would definitely make it useful but is going to take some work to refactor it to separate the json schema parsing from the component rendering. I think from a code design perspective that is the right thing to do. I'm just not sure I will have time to do it right now. I will review a pull request though!

[patvdleer]

Thanks for the quick and clear response, since I don't have a good take on the amount of work (let alone maintenance) I merely suggested it. I'll look into making a gist instead of an entire library.
