before installing Formik, my input looked like so:
const [search, setSearch] = useState('');
....
<View style={styles.profileEditContainer__top}>
<TextInput
style={styles.profileEditContainer__form}
autoCapitalize="none"
placeholder="Enter what you want to create.."
placeholderTextColor={Colors.formPlaceHolderDefault}
name="search"
type="search"
value={search}
onChangeText={(e) => setSearch(e)}
autoCorrect={false}
defaultValue={search}
/>
<Button
disabled={!search}
title="Create"
onPress={(e) => {
createNewCar(e);
}}
/>
</View>
in onChangeText, I would set every character I typed to a state prop called search. With every key that I typed, an API called would be made to get some data from the db.
for example:
if I typed h into the input, the db would return 2 cars honda, hyundai
I read that Formik can simplify a lot of the form setup in React, so I downloaded it, however, the handleChange prop from Formik wants to keep track of values.search
<Formik
initialValues={{
search,
}}
onSubmit={(values) => {
console.log('values', values);
}}>
{({ handleChange, handleSubmit, values }) => (
<View style={styles.profileEditContainer__top}>
<TextInput
style={styles.profileEditContainer__form}
autoCapitalize="none"
placeholder="Enter what you want to create.."
placeholderTextColor={Colors.formPlaceHolderDefault}
autoCorrect={false}
value={values.search}
onChangeText={(e) => {
handleChange(values.search);
setSearch(e);
}}
/>
<Button
disabled={!search}
title="Create"
onPress={handleSubmit}
/>
</View>
)}
</Formik>
Now I can't type into the form because value is pointing at values.search instead of search like it did originally.
Question
How do I fire setSearch in onChangeText but also add search into the formik values prop?
