Setup

npm install tcomb-form-native

Supported react-native versions

tcomb-form-native ^0.5: react-native >= 0.25.0

tcomb-form-native ^0.3: react-native < 0.13.0

Domain Driven Forms

The tcomb library provides a concise but expressive way to define domain models in JavaScript.

The tcomb-validation library builds on tcomb, providing validation functions for tcomb domain models.

This library builds on those two and the awesome react-native.

Benefits

With tcomb-form-native you simply call <Form type={Model} /> to generate a form based on that domain model. What does this get you?

Write a lot less code
Usability and accessibility for free (automatic labels, inline validation, etc)
No need to update forms when domain model changes

JSON Schema support

JSON Schemas are also supported via the (tiny) tcomb-json-schema library.

Note. Please use tcomb-json-schema ^0.2.5.

Pluggable look and feel

The look and feel is customizable via react-native stylesheets and templates (see documentation).

Example

// index.ios.js

'use strict';

var React = require('react-native');
var t = require('tcomb-form-native');
var { AppRegistry, StyleSheet, Text, View, TouchableHighlight } = React;

var Form = t.form.Form;

// here we are: define your domain model
var Person = t.struct({
  name: t.String,              // a required string
  surname: t.maybe(t.String),  // an optional string
  age: t.Number,               // a required number
  rememberMe: t.Boolean        // a boolean
});

var options = {}; // optional rendering options (see documentation)

var AwesomeProject = React.createClass({

  onPress: function () {
    // call getValue() to get the values of the form
    var value = this.refs.form.getValue();
    if (value) { // if validation fails, value will be null
      console.log(value); // value here is an instance of Person
    }
  },

  render: function() {
    return (
      <View style={styles.container}>
        {/* display */}
        <Form
          ref="form"
          type={Person}
          options={options}
        />
        <TouchableHighlight style={styles.button} onPress={this.onPress} underlayColor='#99d9f4'>
          <Text style={styles.buttonText}>Save</Text>
        </TouchableHighlight>
      </View>
    );
  }
});

var styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    justifyContent: 'center',
    marginTop: 50,
    padding: 20,
    backgroundColor: '#ffffff',
  },
  title: {
    fontSize: 30,
    alignSelf: 'center',
    marginBottom: 30
  },
  buttonText: {
    fontSize: 18,
    color: 'white',
    alignSelf: 'center'
  },
  button: {
    height: 36,
    backgroundColor: '#48BBEC',
    borderColor: '#48BBEC',
    borderWidth: 1,
    borderRadius: 8,
    marginBottom: 10,
    alignSelf: 'stretch',
    justifyContent: 'center'
  }
});

AppRegistry.registerComponent('AwesomeProject', () => AwesomeProject);

Output:

(Labels are automatically generated)

Ouput after a validation error:

API

`getValue()`

Returns null if the validation failed, an instance of your model otherwise.

Note. Calling getValue will cause the validation of all the fields of the form, including some side effects like highlighting the errors.

`validate()`

Returns a ValidationResult (see tcomb-validation for a reference documentation).

Adding a default value and listen to changes

The Form component behaves like a controlled component:

var Person = t.struct({
  name: t.String,
  surname: t.maybe(t.String)
});

var AwesomeProject = React.createClass({

  getInitialState() {
    return {
      value: {
        name: 'Giulio',
        surname: 'Canti'
      }
    };
  },

  onChange(value) {
    this.setState({value});
  },

  onPress: function () {
    var value = this.refs.form.getValue();
    if (value) {
      console.log(value);
    }
  },

  render: function() {
    return (
      <View style={styles.container}>
        <Form
          ref="form"
          type={Person}
          value={this.state.value}
          onChange={this.onChange}
        />
        <TouchableHighlight style={styles.button} onPress={this.onPress} underlayColor='#99d9f4'>
          <Text style={styles.buttonText}>Save</Text>
        </TouchableHighlight>
      </View>
    );
  }
});

The onChange handler has the following signature:

(raw: any, path: Array<string | number>) => void

where

raw contains the current raw value of the form (can be an invalid value for your model)
path is the path to the field triggering the change

Warning. tcomb-form-native uses shouldComponentUpdate aggressively. In order to ensure that tcomb-form-native detect any change to type, options or value props you have to change references:

Disable a field based on another field's value

var Type = t.struct({
  disable: t.Boolean, // if true, name field will be disabled
  name: t.String
});

// see the "Rendering options" section in this guide
var options = {
  fields: {
    name: {}
  }
};

var AwesomeProject = React.createClass({

  getInitialState() {
    return {
      options: options,
      value: null
    };
  },

  onChange(value) {
    // tcomb immutability helpers
    // https://github.com/gcanti/tcomb/blob/master/GUIDE.md#updating-immutable-instances
    var options = t.update(this.state.options, {
      fields: {
        name: {
          editable: {'$set': !value.disable}
        }
      }
    });
    this.setState({options: options, value: value});
  },

  onPress: function () {
    var value = this.refs.form.getValue();
    if (value) {
      console.log(value);
    }
  },

  render: function() {
    return (
      <View style={styles.container}>
        <Form
          ref="form"
          type={Type}
          options={this.state.options}
          value={this.state.value}
          onChange={this.onChange}
        />
        <TouchableHighlight style={styles.button} onPress={this.onPress} underlayColor='#99d9f4'>
          <Text style={styles.buttonText}>Save</Text>
        </TouchableHighlight>
      </View>
    );
  }

});

How to get access to a field

You can get access to a field with the getComponent(path) API:

var Person = t.struct({
  name: t.String,
  surname: t.maybe(t.String),
  age: t.Number,
  rememberMe: t.Boolean
});

var AwesomeProject = React.createClass({

  componentDidMount() {
    // give focus to the name textbox
    this.refs.form.getComponent('name').refs.input.focus();
  },

  onPress: function () {
    var value = this.refs.form.getValue();
    if (value) {
      console.log(value);
    }
  },

  render: function() {
    return (
      <View style={styles.container}>
        <Form
          ref="form"
          type={Person}
        />
        <TouchableHighlight style={styles.button} onPress={this.onPress} underlayColor='#99d9f4'>
          <Text style={styles.buttonText}>Save</Text>
        </TouchableHighlight>
      </View>
    );
  }
});

How to clear form after submit

var Person = t.struct({
  name: t.String,
  surname: t.maybe(t.String),
  age: t.Number,
  rememberMe: t.Boolean
});

var AwesomeProject = React.createClass({

  getInitialState() {
    return { value: null };
  },

  onChange(value) {
    this.setState({ value });
  },

  clearForm() {
    // clear content from all textbox
    this.setState({ value: null });
  },

  onPress: function () {
    var value = this.refs.form.getValue();
    if (value) {
      console.log(value);
      // clear all fields after submit
      this.clearForm();
    }
  },

  render: function() {
    return (
      <View style={styles.container}>
        <Form
          ref="form"
          type={Person}
          value={this.state.value}
          onChange={this.onChange.bind(this)}
        />
        <TouchableHighlight style={styles.button} onPress={this.onPress} underlayColor='#99d9f4'>
          <Text style={styles.buttonText}>Save</Text>
        </TouchableHighlight>
      </View>
    );
  }
});

Dynamic forms example: how to change a form based on selection

Say I have an iOS Picker, depending on which option is selected in this picker I want the next component to either be a checkbox or a textbox:

const Country = t.enums({
  'IT': 'Italy',
  'US': 'Unisted States'
}, 'Country');

var AwesomeProject = React.createClass({

  // returns the suitable type based on the form value
  getType(value) {
    if (value.country === 'IT') {
      return t.struct({
        country: Country,
        rememberMe: t.Boolean
      });
    } else if (value.country === 'US') {
      return t.struct({
        country: Country,
        name: t.String
      });
    } else {
      return t.struct({
        country: Country
      });
    }
  },

  getInitialState() {
    const value = {};
    return { value, type: this.getType(value) };
  },

  onChange(value) {
    // recalculate the type only if strictly necessary
    const type = value.country !== this.state.value.country ?
      this.getType(value) :
      this.state.type;
    this.setState({ value, type });
  },

  onPress() {
    var value = this.refs.form.getValue();
    if (value) {
      console.log(value);
    }
  },

  render() {

    return (
      <View style={styles.container}>
        <t.form.Form
          ref="form"
          type={this.state.type}
          value={this.state.value}
          onChange={this.onChange}
        />
        <TouchableHighlight style={styles.button} onPress={this.onPress} underlayColor='#99d9f4'>
          <Text style={styles.buttonText}>Save</Text>
        </TouchableHighlight>
      </View>
    );
  }
});

Types

Required field

By default fields are required:

var Person = t.struct({
  name: t.String,    // a required string
  surname: t.String  // a required string
});

Optional field

In order to create an optional field, wrap the field type with the t.maybe combinator:

var Person = t.struct({
  name: t.String,
  surname: t.String,
  email: t.maybe(t.String) // an optional string
});

The postfix " (optional)" is automatically added to optional fields.

You can customise the postfix value or setting a postfix for required fields:

t.form.Form.i18n = {
  optional: '',
  required: ' (required)' // inverting the behaviour: adding a postfix to the required fields
};

Numbers

In order to create a numeric field, use the t.Number type:

var Person = t.struct({
  name: t.String,
  surname: t.String,
  email: t.maybe(t.String),
  age: t.Number // a numeric field
});

tcomb-form-native will convert automatically numbers to / from strings.

Booleans

In order to create a boolean field, use the t.Boolean type:

var Person = t.struct({
  name: t.String,
  surname: t.String,
  email: t.maybe(t.String),
  age: t.Number,
  rememberMe: t.Boolean // a boolean field
});

Booleans are displayed as SwitchIOSs.

Dates

In order to create a date field, use the t.Date type:

var Person = t.struct({
  name: t.String,
  surname: t.String,
  email: t.maybe(t.String),
  age: t.Number,
  birthDate: t.Date // a date field
});

Dates are displayed as DatePickerIOSs under iOS and DatePickerAndroid or TimePickerAndroid under Android, depending on the mode selected (date or time).

iOS date `config` option

The bundled template will render an iOS UIDatePicker component, but collapsed into a touchable component in order to improve usability. A config object can be passed to customize it with the following parameters:

Key	Value
`animation`	The animation to collapse the date picker. Defaults to `Animated.timing`.
`animationConfig`	The animation configuration object. Defaults to `{duration: 200}` for the default animation.
`format`	A `(date) => String(date)` kind of function to provide a custom date format parsing to display the value. Optional, defaults to `(date) => String(date)`.

For the collapsible customization, look at the dateTouchable and dateValue keys in the stylesheet file.

Android date `config` option

When using a t.Date type in Android, it can be configured through a config option that take the following parameters:

Key	Value
`background`	Determines the type of background drawable that's going to be used to display feedback. Optional, defaults to `TouchableNativeFeedback.SelectableBackground`.
`format`	A `(date) => String(date)` kind of function to provide a custom date format parsing to display the value. Optional, defaults to `(date) => String(date)`.

Enums

In order to create an enum field, use the t.enums combinator:

var Gender = t.enums({
  M: 'Male',
  F: 'Female'
});

var Person = t.struct({
  name: t.String,
  surname: t.String,
  email: t.maybe(t.String),
  age: t.Number,
  rememberMe: t.Boolean,
  gender: Gender // enum
});

Enums are displayed as Pickers.

iOS select `config` option

The bundled template will render an iOS UIPickerView component, but collapsed into a touchable component in order to improve usability. A config object can be passed to customize it with the following parameters:

Key	Value
`animation`	The animation to collapse the date picker. Defaults to `Animated.timing`.
`animationConfig`	The animation configuration object. Defaults to `{duration: 200}` for the default animation.

For the collapsible customization, look at the pickerTouchable and pickerValue keys in the stylesheet file.

Refinements

A predicate is a function with the following signature:

(x: any) => boolean

You can refine a type with the t.refinement(type, predicate) combinator:

// a type representing positive numbers
var Positive = t.refinement(t.Number, function (n) {
  return n >= 0;
});

var Person = t.struct({
  name: t.String,
  surname: t.String,
  email: t.maybe(t.String),
  age: Positive, // refinement
  rememberMe: t.Boolean,
  gender: Gender
});

Subtypes allow you to express any custom validation with a simple predicate.

Rendering options

In order to customize the look and feel, use an options prop:

<Form type={Model} options={options} />

Form component

Labels and placeholders

By default labels are automatically generated. You can turn off this behaviour or override the default labels on field basis.

var options = {
  label: 'My struct label' // <= form legend, displayed before the fields
};

var options = {
  fields: {
    name: {
      label: 'My name label' // <= label for the name field
    }
  }
};

In order to automatically generate default placeholders, use the option auto: 'placeholders':

var options = {
  auto: 'placeholders'
};

<Form type={Person} options={options} />

Set auto: 'none' if you don't want neither labels nor placeholders.

var options = {
  auto: 'none'
};

Fields order

You can sort the fields with the order option:

var options = {
  order: ['name', 'surname', 'rememberMe', 'gender', 'age', 'email']
};

Default values

You can set the default values passing a value prop to the Form component:

var value = {
  name: 'Giulio',
  surname: 'Canti',
  age: 41,
  gender: 'M'
};

<Form type={Model} value={value} />

Fields configuration

You can configure each field with the fields option:

var options = {
  fields: {
    name: {
      // name field configuration here..
    },
    surname: {
      // surname field configuration here..
    }
  }
};

Textbox component

Implementation: TextInput

Tech note. Values containing only white spaces are converted to null.

Placeholder

You can set the placeholder with the placeholder option:

var options = {
  fields: {
    name: {
      placeholder: 'Your placeholder here'
    }
  }
};

Label

You can set the label with the label option:

var options = {
  fields: {
    name: {
      label: 'Insert your name'
    }
  }
};

Help message

You can set a help message with the help option:

var options = {
  fields: {
    name: {
      help: 'Your help message here'
    }
  }
};

Error messages

You can add a custom error message with the error option:

var options = {
  fields: {
    email: {
      // you can use strings or JSX
      error: 'Insert a valid email'
    }
  }
};

tcomb-form-native will display the error message when the field validation fails.

error can also be a function with the following signature:

(value, path, context) => ?(string | ReactElement)

where

value is an object containing the current form value.
path is the path of the value being validated
context is the value of the context prop. Also it contains a reference to the component options.

The value returned by the function will be used as error message.

If you want to show the error message onload, add the hasError option:

var options = {
  hasError: true,
  error: <i>A custom error message</i>
};

Another way is to add a:

getValidationErrorMessage(value, path, context)

static function to a type, where:

value is the (parsed) current value of the component.
path is the path of the value being validated
context is the value of the context prop. Also it contains a reference to the component options.

var Age = t.refinement(t.Number, function (n) { return n >= 18; });

// if you define a getValidationErrorMessage function, it will be called on validation errors
Age.getValidationErrorMessage = function (value, path, context) {
  return 'bad age, locale: ' + context.locale;
};

var Schema = t.struct({
  age: Age
});

...

<t.form.Form
  ref="form"
  type={Schema}
  context={{locale: 'it-IT'}}
/>

You can even define getValidationErrorMessage on the supertype in order to be DRY:

t.Number.getValidationErrorMessage = function (value, path, context) {
  return 'bad number';
};

Age.getValidationErrorMessage = function (value, path, context) {
  return 'bad age, locale: ' + context.locale;
};

Other standard options

The following standard options are available (see http://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/textinput.html):

autoCapitalize
autoCorrect
autoFocus
bufferDelay
clearButtonMode
editable
enablesReturnKeyAutomatically
keyboardType
maxLength
multiline
numberOfLines
onBlur
onEndEditing
onFocus
onSubmitEditing
password
placeholderTextColor
returnKeyType
selectTextOnFocus
secureTextEntry
selectionState
textAlign
textAlignVertical
underlineColorAndroid

Checkbox component

Implementation: SwitchIOS

The following options are similar to the Textbox component's ones:

label
help
error

Other standard options

The following standard options are available (see http://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/switchios.html):

disabled
onTintColor
thumbTintColor
tintColor

Select component

Implementation: PickerIOS

The following options are similar to the Textbox component's ones:

label
help
error

`nullOption` option

You can customize the null option with the nullOption option:

var options = {
  fields: {
    gender: {
      nullOption: {value: '', text: 'Choose your gender'}
    }
  }
};

You can remove the null option setting the nullOption option to false.

Warning: when you set nullOption = false you must also set the Form's value prop for the select field.

Tech note. A value equal to nullOption.value (default '') is converted to null.

Options order

You can sort the options with the order option:

var options = {
  fields: {
    gender: {
      order: 'asc' // or 'desc'
    }
  }
};

DatePicker component

Implementation: DatePickerIOS

Example

var Person = t.struct({
  name: t.String,
  birthDate: t.Date
});

The following options are similar to the Textbox component's ones:

label
help
error

Other standard options

The following standard options are available (see http://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/datepickerios.html):

maximumDate,
minimumDate,
minuteInterval,
mode,
timeZoneOffsetInMinutes

Hidden Component

For any component, you can set the field with the hidden option:

var options = {
  fields: {
    name: {
      hidden: true
    }
  }
};

This will completely skip the rendering of the component, while the default value will be available for validation purposes.

Unions

Code Example

const AccountType = t.enums.of([
  'type 1',
  'type 2',
  'other'
], 'AccountType')

const KnownAccount = t.struct({
  type: AccountType
}, 'KnownAccount')

// UnknownAccount extends KnownAccount so it owns also the type field
const UnknownAccount = KnownAccount.extend({
  label: t.String,
}, 'UnknownAccount')

// the union
const Account = t.union([KnownAccount, UnknownAccount], 'Account')

// the final form type
const Type = t.list(Account)

const options = {
  item: [ // one options object for each concrete type of the union
    {
      label: 'KnownAccount'
    },
    {
      label: 'UnknownAccount'
    }
  ]
}

Generally tcomb's unions require a dispatch implementation in order to select the suitable type constructor for a given value and this would be the key in this use case:

// if account type is 'other' return the UnknownAccount type
Account.dispatch = value => value && value.type === 'other' ? UnknownAccount : KnownAccount

Lists

You can handle a list with the t.list combinator:

const Person = t.struct({
  name: t.String,
  tags: t.list(t.String) // a list of strings
});

Items configuration

To configure all the items in a list, set the item option:

const Person = t.struct({
  name: t.String,
  tags: t.list(t.String) // a list of strings
});

const options = {
  fields: { // <= Person options
    tags: {
      item: { // <= options applied to each item in the list
        label: 'My tag'
      }
    }
  }
});

Nested structures

You can nest lists and structs at an arbitrary level:

const Person = t.struct({
  name: t.String,
  surname: t.String
});

const Persons = t.list(Person);

If you want to provide options for your nested structures they must be nested following the type structure. Here is an example:

const Person = t.struct({
  name: t.Struct,
  position: t.Struct({
    latitude: t.Number,
    longitude: t.Number
  });
});

const options = {
  fields: { // <= Person options
    name: {
        label: 'name label'
    }
    position: {
        fields: {
            // Note that latitude is not not directly nested in position,
            // but in the fields property
            latitude: {
                label: 'My position label'
            }
        }
    }
  }
});

Internationalization

You can override the default language (english) with the i18n option:

const options = {
  i18n: {
    optional: ' (optional)',
    required: '',
    add: 'Add',   // add button
    remove: '✘',  // remove button
    up: '↑',      // move up button
    down: '↓'     // move down button
  }
};

Buttons configuration

You can prevent operations on lists with the following options:

disableAdd: (default false) prevents adding new items
disableRemove: (default false) prevents removing existing items
disableOrder: (default false) prevents sorting existing items

const options = {
  disableOrder: true
};

List with Dynamic Items (Different structs based on selected value)

Lists of different types are not supported. This is because a tcomb's list, by definition, contains only values of the same type. You can define a union though:

const AccountType = t.enums.of([
  'type 1',
  'type 2',
  'other'
], 'AccountType')

const KnownAccount = t.struct({
  type: AccountType
}, 'KnownAccount')

// UnknownAccount extends KnownAccount so it owns also the type field
const UnknownAccount = KnownAccount.extend({
  label: t.String,
}, 'UnknownAccount')

// the union
const Account = t.union([KnownAccount, UnknownAccount], 'Account')

// the final form type
const Type = t.list(Account)

Generally tcomb's unions require a dispatch implementation in order to select the suitable type constructor for a given value and this would be the key in this use case:

// if account type is 'other' return the UnknownAccount type
Account.dispatch = value => value && value.type === 'other' ? UnknownAccount : KnownAccount

Customizations

Stylesheets

Templates

tcomb-form-native comes with a default layout, i.e. a bunch of templates, one for each component. When changing the stylesheet is not enough, you can customize the layout by setting custom templates:

var t = require('tcomb-form-native/lib');
var i18n = require('tcomb-form-native/lib/i18n/en');
var stylesheet = require('tcomb-form-native/lib/stylesheets/bootstrap');

// define the templates (see lib/templates/bootstrap for an example)
var templates = {...};

// override globally the default layout
t.form.Form.templates = templates;
// set defaults
t.form.Form.stylesheet = stylesheet;
t.form.Form.i18n = i18n;

You can also override the template locally:

var Person = t.struct({
  name: t.String
});

function myCustomTemplate(locals) {

  var containerStyle = {...};
  var labelStyle = {...};
  var textboxStyle = {...};

  return (
    <View style={containerStyle}>
      <Text style={labelStyle}>{locals.label}</Text>
      <TextInput style={textboxStyle} />
    </View>
  );
}

var options = {
  fields: {
    name: {
      template: myCustomTemplate
    }
  }
};

A template is a function with the following signature:

(locals: Object) => ReactElement

where locals is an object contaning the "recipe" for rendering the input and it's built for you by tcomb-form-native. Let's see an example: the locals object passed in the checkbox template:

type Message = string | ReactElement

{
  stylesheet: Object, // the styles to be applied
  hasError: boolean,  // true if there is a validation error
  error: ?Message,    // the optional error message to be displayed
  label: Message,     // the label to be displayed
  help: ?Message,     // the optional help message to be displayed
  value: boolean,     // the current value of the checkbox
  onChange: Function, // the event handler to be called when the value changes
  config: Object,     // an optional object to pass configuration options to the new template

  ...other input options here...

}

For a complete example see the default template https://github.com/gcanti/tcomb-form-native/blob/master/lib/templates/bootstrap.

i18n

tcomb-form-native comes with a default internationalization (English). You can customize the look and feel by setting another i18n:

var t = require('tcomb-form-native/lib');
var templates = require('tcomb-form-native/lib/templates/bootstrap');

// define a stylesheet (see tcomb-form-native/lib/i18n/en for an example)
var i18n = {...};

// override globally the default i18n
t.form.Form.i18n = i18n;
// set defaults
t.form.Form.templates = templates;
t.form.Form.stylesheet = stylesheet;

Transformers

Say you want a search textbox which accepts a list of keywords separated by spaces:

var Search = t.struct({
  search: t.list(t.String)
});

tcomb-form by default will render the search field as a list. In order to render a textbox you have to override the default behaviour with the factory option:

var options = {
  fields: {
    search: {
      factory: t.form.Textbox
    }
  }
};

There is a problem though: a textbox handle only strings so we need a way to transform a list in a string and a string in a list: a Transformer deals with serialization / deserialization of data and has the following interface:

var Transformer = t.struct({
  format: t.Function, // from value to string, it must be idempotent
  parse: t.Function   // from string to value
});

A basic transformer implementation for the search textbox:

var listTransformer = {
  format: function (value) {
    return Array.isArray(value) ? value.join(' ') : value;
  },
  parse: function (str) {
    return str ? str.split(' ') : [];
  }
};

Now you can handle lists using the transformer option:

// example of initial value
var value = {
  search: ['climbing', 'yosemite']
};

var options = {
  fields: {
    search: {
      factory: t.form.Textbox, // tell tcomb-react-native to use the same component for textboxes
      transformer: listTransformer,
      help: 'Keywords are separated by spaces'
    }
  }
};

Custom factories

You can pack together style, template (and transformers) in a custom component and then you can use it with the factory option:

var Component = t.form.Component;

// extend the base Component
class MyComponent extends Component {

  // this is the only required method to implement
  getTemplate() {
    // define here your custom template
    return function (locals) {

      //return ... jsx ...

    };
  }

  // you can optionally override the default getLocals method
  // it will provide the locals param to your template
  getLocals() {

    // in locals you'll find the default locals:
    // - path
    // - error
    // - hasError
    // - label
    // - onChange
    // - stylesheet
    var locals = super.getLocals();

    // add here your custom locals

    return locals;
  }


}

// as example of transformer: this is the default transformer for textboxes
MyComponent.transformer = {
  format: value => Nil.is(value) ? null : value,
  parse: value => (t.String.is(value) && value.trim() === '') || Nil.is(value) ? null : value
};

var Person = t.struct({
  name: t.String
});

var options = {
  fields: {
    name: {
      factory: MyComponent
    }
  }
};

Tests

npm test

Note: If you are using Jest, you will encounter an error which can be fixed w/ a small change to the package.json.

The error will look similiar to the following:

Error: Cannot find module './datepicker' from 'index.js' at
Resolver.resolveModule

A completely working example jest setup is shown below w/ the http://facebook.github.io/jest/docs/api.html#modulefileextensions-array-string fix added:
