The
useFormContext hook is a part of react-hook-form and allows you to access form methods (such as setValue, getValues, etc.) from any component nested inside the FormProvider. This is useful when you want to manage the form state across deeply nested components without passing props down manually.Steps to Use
useFormContext:1. Wrap your form with
FormProvider: This allows any child component to access the form context via useFormContext.2. Access form methods using
useFormContext: In your component, you can call useFormContext to access setValue, getValues, etc.Example
1. In your main form component: Wrap your form with
FormProvider and pass in useForm's returned values.Code
import { useForm, FormProvider } from "react-hook-form";
const FormComponent = () => {
const methods = useForm();
return (
{/* Now any nested component can use useFormContext */}
{/* Submit button or other components */}
);
};2. In your
ChildComponent or any other component: Use useFormContext to access the form methods like setValue or getValues.Code
import { useFormContext } from "react-hook-form";
const ChildComponent = () => {
const { setValue } = useFormContext(); // useFormContext gives access to all form methods
return (
{/* Dropdown logic */}
);
};#useForm #CCT1JMA0Z
