Is it possible to use react-datepicker with react hooks forms? - reactjs

Question

Is it possible to use react-datepicker with react hooks forms? I tried following sample:
https://codesandbox.io/s/awesome-shape-j0747?fontsize=14&hidenavigation=1&theme=dark
But with no luck.
import React, { useState } from "react";
import "./styles.css";
import { useForm } from "react-hook-form";
import { Row, Col, Form, FormGroup, Label, Input, Button } from "reactstrap";
import DatePicker from "react-datepicker";
export default function App() {
const { register, handleSubmit } = useForm();
const [startDate, setStartDate] = useState();
const [result, setResult] = useState();
const onSearch = event => {
setResult(event);
};
return (
<div className="App">
<Form onSubmit={handleSubmit(onSearch)}>
<Row>
<Col>
<FormGroup>
<Input
type="number"
name="account"
id="account"
placeholder="AccountId"
innerRef={register({ required: true, maxLength: 20 })}
/>
</FormGroup>
</Col>
</Row>
<Row>
<Col>
<DatePicker
innerRef={register}
name="datetime"
className={"form-control"}
selected={startDate}
onChange={date => setStartDate(date)}
showTimeSelect
timeFormat="HH:mm"
timeIntervals={15}
timeCaption="time"
dateFormat="MM-dd-yyyy h:mm"
/>
</Col>
</Row>
<Button>Submit</Button>
</Form>
<div>{JSON.stringify(result)}</div>
</div>
);
}

Answer 1

Please take a look at the Controller doc: https://react-hook-form.com/api/#Controller
which we are maintaining a codesandbox example for hosting most the external components UI libs' implementations: https://codesandbox.io/s/react-hook-form-controller-079xx
<Controller
as={ReactDatePicker}
control={control}
valueName="selected" // DateSelect value's name is selected
onChange={([selected]) => selected}
name="ReactDatepicker"
className="input"
placeholderText="Select date"
/>
EDIT
with the latest version of react-hook-form this is the Controller implementation using render:
<Controller
name={name}
control={control}
render={({ onChange, value }) => (
<DatePicker
selected={value}
onChange={onChange}
/>
)}
/>

With react-hooks-form v7
import dependencies:
import { Controller, useForm } from 'react-hook-form'
import DatePicker from 'react-datepicker'
add control to the useForm() hook:
const { control, register, handleSubmit, ... } = useForm()
Add the Controller and DatePicker component:
<Controller
control={control}
name='date-input'
render={({ field }) => (
<DatePicker
placeholderText='Select date'
onChange={(date) => field.onChange(date)}
selected={field.value}
/>
)}
/>
