Formik with react-bootstrap styling - reactjs

Question

I am trying to use Formik with my react app.
I have react-bootstrap and I am trying to figure out how to style form components with bootstrap styling.
My form is:
// Render Prop
import React from 'react';
import { Link } from 'react-router-dom';
import { Formik, Form, Field, ErrorMessage } from 'formik';
import { Badge, Button, Col, Feedback, FormControl, FormGroup, FormLabel, InputGroup } from 'react-bootstrap';
import * as Yup from 'yup';
const style1 = {
width: '60%',
margin: 'auto'
}
const style2 = {
paddingTop: '2em',
}
const style3 = {
marginRight: '2em'
}
class Basic extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
<Formik
initialValues={{
firstName: '',
lastName: '',
email: '',
role: '',
password: '',
confirmPassword: '',
consent: false
}}
validationSchema={Yup.object().shape({
firstName: Yup.string()
.required('First Name is required'),
lastName: Yup.string()
.required('Last Name is required'),
email: Yup.string()
.email('Email is invalid')
.required('Email is required'),
role: Yup.string()
.required('It will help us get started if we know a little about your background'),
password: Yup.string()
.min(6, 'Password must be at least 6 characters')
.required('Password is required'),
confirmPassword: Yup.string()
.oneOf([Yup.ref('password'), null], 'Passwords must match')
.required('Confirm Password is required')
})}
onSubmit={fields => {
alert('SUCCESS!! :-)\n\n' + JSON.stringify(fields, null, 4))
}}
render={({ errors, status, touched }) => (
<Form style={style1}>
<h1 style={style2}>Get Started</h1>
<div className="form-group">
<label htmlFor="firstName">First Name</label>
<Field name="firstName" type="text" className={'form-control' + (errors.firstName && touched.firstName ? ' is-invalid' : '')} />
<ErrorMessage name="firstName" component="div" className="invalid-feedback" />
</div>
<div className="form-group">
<label htmlFor="lastName">Last Name</label>
<Field name="lastName" type="text" className={'form-control' + (errors.lastName && touched.lastName ? ' is-invalid' : '')} />
<ErrorMessage name="lastName" component="div" className="invalid-feedback" />
</div>
<div className="form-group">
<label htmlFor="email">Email</label>
<Field name="email" type="text" placeholder="Please use your work email address" className={'form-control' + (errors.email && touched.email ? ' is-invalid' : '')} />
<ErrorMessage name="email" component="div" className="invalid-feedback" />
</div>
<div className="form-group">
<label htmlFor="role">Which role best describes yours?</label>
<Field name="role" type="text" placeholder="eg, academic, industry R&D, policy, funder" className={'form-control' + (errors.role && touched.role ? ' is-invalid' : '')} >
</Field>
<ErrorMessage name="role" component="div" className="invalid-feedback" />
</div>
<div className="form-group">
<label htmlFor="password">Password</label>
<Field name="password" type="password" className={'form-control' + (errors.password && touched.password ? ' is-invalid' : '')} />
<ErrorMessage name="password" component="div" className="invalid-feedback" />
</div>
<div className="form-group">
<label htmlFor="confirmPassword">Confirm Password</label>
<Field name="confirmPassword" type="password" className={'form-control' + (errors.confirmPassword && touched.confirmPassword ? ' is-invalid' : '')} />
<ErrorMessage name="confirmPassword" component="div" className="invalid-feedback" />
</div>
<div className="form-group">
<Field component="select" name="color">
<option value="red">Red</option>
<option value="green">Green</option>
<option value="blue">Blue</option>
</Field>
<Field name="consent" label="You must accept the and Privacy Policy" type="checkbox" className={'form-control' + (errors.consent && touched.consent ? ' is-invalid' : '')} />
<ErrorMessage name="consent" component="div" className="invalid-feedback" />
</div>
<div className="form-group">
<Button variant="outline-primary" type="submit" style={style3}>Register</Button>
</div>
</Form>
)}
/>
)
}
}
export default Basic;
When I try to add a react-bootstrap form group to the inside the render method, such as:
<Form.Group controlId="formBasicEmail">
<Form.Label>Email address</Form.Label>
<Form.Control type="email" placeholder="Enter email" />
<Form.Text className="text-muted">
We'll never share your email with anyone else.
</Form.Text>
</Form.Group>
I get an error that says:
Element type is invalid: expected a string (for built-in components) or a class/function (for composite components) but got: undefined. You likely forgot to export your component from the file it's defined in, or you might have mixed up default and named imports.
Check the render method of Formik.
I think this error message is referring to element type to mean 'email' -- but it doesn't make any sense because the formik form i have already has an 'email' type in it and there is not error when I don't try to use react-bootstrap.
Has anyone figured out how to get Formik to work with react-bootstrap?

Answer 1

You're using the wrong Form. Import it from react-bootstrap instead of formik and it should work.
