Set the value of a form based on state in React

Using Formik for validating some fields, if a state value is true I want that the value of a fields to be copied to the value of another one.

For example, value of mainAddress to be copied to address.

There is a state variable, setAddress which is set on false but it can be changed to true when a checkbox is clicked.

When this variable is set on true I want that the value of mainAddress to be copied to address

This is the code that works fine without copying that value:

import React from 'react';
import { Formik, Form, Field } from 'formik';
import { Input, Button, Label, Grid } from 'semantic-ui-react';
import * as Yup from 'yup';
import { Creators } from '../../../actions';
import './CreateCompanyForm.scss';

class CreateCompanyForm extends React.PureComponent {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);

    this.state = { // state variables 
      address: '',
      mainAddress: '',
      setAddress: false,
    };
  }

  handleSubmit = values => {
    // create company
  };

  toggleAddress = () => { // it toggles the value of setAddress
    this.setState(prevState => ({
      setAddress: !prevState.setAddress,
    }));
  };

  render() {
    const initialValues = { // the address and mainAddress are set to '' at the start
      address: '',
      mainAddress: '',
    };
    const validationSchema = Yup.object({
      address: Yup.string().required('error'),
      mainAddress: Yup.string().required('error'),
    });
    return (
      <>
        <Button type="submit" form="amazing"> // button for submit
          Create company
        </Button>

        <Formik
          htmlFor="amazing"
          initialValues={initialValues}
          validationSchema={validationSchema}
          onSubmit={values => this.handleSubmit(values)}>
          {({ values, errors, touched, setValues, setFieldValue }) => (
            <Form id="amazing">
              <Grid>
                <Grid.Column> // mainAddress value
                  <Label>Main Address</Label>
                  <Field name="mainAddress" as={Input} />
                </Grid.Column>

                <Grid.Column> // address value
                  <Label>Address</Label>
                  <Field name="address" as={Input} />
                  <div>
                    {this.state.setAddress // here is how I've tried to set that value
                      ? values.address.setFieldValue(values.mainAddress)
                      : console.log('nope')}
                    {touched.address && errors.address ? errors.address : null}
                  </div>
                </Grid.Column>
              </Grid>
              <Checkbox
                label="Use same address"
                onClick={() => this.toggleAddress()}
              />
            </Form>
          )}
        </Formik>
      </>
    );
  }
}

So I've tried more ways to solve it but without success. Now in the code it is:

 {this.state.setAddress
     ? values.address.setFieldValue(values.mainAddress)
     : console.log('nope')}

Other one was: (this.state.setAddress ? values.address = values.mainAddress)

None of them work. Is it possible to get the value from values.mainAddress and copy it to values.address? Or to its input?

You can rewrite the Field component for address accordingly.

<Field name="address">
 {({
    field, // { name, value, onChange, onBlur }
 }) => {
   values.address = values.mainAddress;
   return (
     <div>
        <input
           {...field}
           type="text"
           placeholder="Address"
         />
      </div>
    );
  }}
</Field>

Here we are setting the value of address field to values.mainAddress if setAdress checkbox is checked else we let formik value to fill it.

Here is the working codesandbox code - https://codesandbox.io/s/fervent-tereshkova-sro93?file=/index.js

Formik also provides values object you could use that for updating address value same as mainAddress. Just provide name attribute to both input fields then assign like this - props.values.address = {...props.values.mainAddress}
