| Property | Description | Type | Default | Version |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| colon | Configure the default value of `colon` for Form.Item. Indicates whether the colon after the label is displayed (only effective when prop layout is horizontal) | boolean | true | |
| fields | Control of form fields through state management (such as redux). Not recommended for non-strong demand. View [example](#components-form-demo-global-state) | [FieldData](#fielddata)\[] | - | |
| form | Form control instance created by `Form.useForm()`. Automatically created when not provided | [FormInstance](#forminstance) | - | |
| requiredMark | Required mark style. Can use required mark or optional mark. You can not config to single Form.Item since this is a Form level config | boolean \| `optional` \| ((label: ReactNode, info: { required: boolean }) => ReactNode) | true | `renderProps`: 5.9.0 |
| scrollToFirstError | Auto scroll to first failed field when submit | boolean \| [Options](https://github.com/stipsan/scroll-into-view-if-needed/tree/ece40bd9143f48caf4b99503425ecb16b0ad8249#options) | false | |
Form provides [default verification error messages](https://github.com/ant-design/ant-design/blob/6234509d18bac1ac60fbb3f92a5b2c6a6361295a/components/locale/en_US.ts#L88-L134). You can modify the template by configuring `validateMessages` property. A common usage is to configure localization:
Besides, [ConfigProvider](/components/config-provider/) also provides a global configuration scheme that allows for uniform configuration error notification templates:
| extra | The extra prompt message. It is similar to help. Usage example: to display error message and prompt message at the same time | ReactNode | - | |
| hasFeedback | Used with `validateStatus`, this option specifies the validation status icon. Recommended to be used only with `Input`. Also, It can get feedback icons via icons prop. | boolean \| { icons: [FeedbackIcons](#feedbackicons) } | false | icons: 5.9.0 |
| labelCol | The layout of label. You can set `span``offset` to something like `{span: 3, offset: 12}` or `sm: {span: 3, offset: 12}` same as with `<Col>`. You can set `labelCol` on Form which will not affect nest Item. If both exists, use Item first | [object](/components/grid/#col) | - | |
| normalize | Normalize value from component value before passing to Form instance. Do not support async | (value, prevValue, prevValues) => any | - | |
| noStyle | No style for `true`, used as a pure field control. Will inherit parent Form.Item `validateStatus` if self `validateStatus` not configured | boolean | false | |
| trigger | When to collect the value of children node. Click [here](#components-form-demo-customized-form-controls) to see an example | string | `onChange` | |
| validateFirst | Whether stop validate on first rule of error for this field. Will parallel validate when `parallel` configured | boolean \| `parallel` | false | `parallel`: 4.5.0 |
| validateStatus | The validation status. If not provided, it will be generated by validation rule. options: `success``warning``error``validating` | string | - | |
| valuePropName | Props of children node, for example, the prop of Switch or Checkbox is `checked`. This prop is an encapsulation of `getValueProps`, which will be invalid after customizing `getValueProps` | string | `value` | |
| wrapperCol | The layout for input controls, same as `labelCol`. You can set `wrapperCol` on Form which will not affect nest Item. If both exists, use Item first | [object](/components/grid/#col) | - | |
After wrapped by `Form.Item` with `name` property, `value`(or other property defined by `valuePropName`) `onChange`(or other property defined by `trigger`) props will be added to form controls, the flow of form data will be handled by Form which will cause:
1. You shouldn't use `onChange` on each form control to **collect data**(use `onValuesChange` of Form), but you can still listen to `onChange`.
2. You cannot set value for each form control via `value` or `defaultValue` prop, you should set default value with `initialValues` of Form. Note that `initialValues` cannot be updated by `setState` dynamically, you should use `setFieldsValue` in that situation.
Used when there are dependencies between fields. If a field has the `dependencies` prop, this field will automatically trigger updates and validations when upstream is updated. A common scenario is a user registration form with "password" and "confirm password" fields. The "Confirm Password" validation depends on the "Password" field. After setting `dependencies`, the "Password" field update will re-trigger the validation of "Check Password". You can refer [examples](#components-form-demo-dependencies).
Form updates only the modified field-related components for performance optimization purposes by incremental update. In most cases, you only need to write code or do validation with the [`dependencies`](#dependencies) property. In some specific cases, such as when a new field option appears with a field value changed, or you just want to keep some area updating by form update, you can modify the update logic of Form.Item via the `shouldUpdate`.
When `shouldUpdate` is `true`, any Form update will cause the Form.Item to be re-rendered. This is very helpful for custom rendering some areas. It should be noted that the child component should be returned in a function, otherwise `shouldUpdate` won't behave correctly:
related issue: [#34500](https://github.com/ant-design/ant-design/issues/34500)
When `shouldUpdate` is a function, it will be called by form values update. Providing original values and current value to compare. This is very helpful for rendering additional fields based on values:
| name | Field name, support array. List is also a field, so it will return all the values by `getFieldsValue`. You can change this logic by [config](#getfieldsvalue) | [NamePath](#namepath) | - | |
Note: You should not configure Form.Item `initialValue` under Form.List. It always should be configured by Form.List `initialValue` or Form `initialValues`.
Provide linkage between forms. If a sub form with `name` prop update, it will auto trigger Provider related events. See [example](#components-form-demo-form-context).
| getFieldsValue | Get values by a set of field names. Return according to the corresponding structure. Default return mounted field value, but you can use `getFieldsValue(true)` to get all values | [GetFieldsValue](#getfieldsvalue) | |
| getFieldValue | Get the value by the field name | (name: [NamePath](#namepath)) => any | |
| isFieldsTouched | Check if fields have been operated. Check if all fields is touched when `allTouched` is `true` | (nameList?: [NamePath](#namepath)\[], allTouched?: boolean) => boolean | |
| isFieldTouched | Check if a field has been operated | (name: [NamePath](#namepath)) => boolean | |
| isFieldValidating | Check field if is in validating | (name: [NamePath](#namepath)) => boolean | |
| setFieldValue | Set fields value(Will directly pass to form store and **reset validation message**. If you do not want to modify passed object, please clone first) | (name: [NamePath](#namepath), value: any) => void | 4.22.0 |
| setFieldsValue | Set fields value(Will directly pass to form store and **reset validation message**. If you do not want to modify passed object, please clone first). Use `setFieldValue` instead if you want to only config single value in Form.List | (values) => void | |
| validateFields | Validate fields. Use `recursive` to validate all the field in the path | (nameList?: [NamePath](#namepath)\[], { validateOnly?: boolean }) => Promise | `validateOnly`: 5.5.0, `recursive`: 5.9.0 |
Added in `4.22.0`. Could be used to get validate status of Form.Item. If this hook is not used under Form.Item, `status` would be `undefined`. Added `error` and `warnings` in `5.4.0`, Could be used to get error messages and warning messages of Form.Item:
#### Difference between other data fetching method
Form only update the Field which changed to avoid full refresh perf issue. Thus you can not get real time value with `getFieldsValue` in render. And `useWatch` will rerender current component to sync with latest value. You can also use Field renderProps to get better performance if only want to do conditional render. If component no need care field value change, you can use `onValuesChange` to give to parent component to avoid current one rerender.
When `nameList` is empty, return all registered fields, including values of List (even if List has no Item children).
When `nameList` is `true`, return all values in store, including unregistered fields. For example, if you set the value of an unregistered Item through `setFieldsValue`, you can also get all values through `true`.
When `nameList` is an array, return the value of the specified path. Note that `nameList` is a nested array. For example, you need the value of a certain path as follows:
New in `5.8.0`. Accept configuration parameters. When `strict` is `true`, only the value of Item will be matched. For example, in `{ list: [{ bamboo: 1, little: 2 }] }`, if List is only bound to the `bamboo` field, then `getFieldsValue({ strict: true })` will only get `{ list: [{ bamboo: 1 }] }`.
To filter certain field values, `meta` will provide information related to the fields. For example, it can be used to retrieve values that have only been modified by the user, and so on.
| min | `type` required: min length of `string`, `number`, `array` | number | |
| pattern | Regex pattern | RegExp | |
| required | Required field | boolean | |
| transform | Transform value to the rule before validation | (value) => any | |
| type | Normally `string` \|`number` \|`boolean` \|`url` \| `email`. More type to ref [here](https://github.com/yiminghe/async-validator#type) | string | |
| validateTrigger | Set validate trigger event. Must be the sub set of `validateTrigger` in Form.Item | string \| string\[] | |
It may be caused by your `validator` if it has some errors that prevents `callback` to be called. You can use `async` instead or use `try...catch` to catch the error:
`name` will fill value by array order. When there exists number in it and no related field in form store, it will auto convert field to array. If you want to keep it as object, use string like: `['1', 'name']`.
Before Modal opens, children elements do not exist in the view. You can set `forceRender` on Modal to pre-render its children. Click [here](https://codesandbox.io/s/antd-reproduction-template-ibu5c) to view an example.
Components inside Form.Item with name property will turn into controlled mode, which makes `defaultValue` not work anymore. Please try `initialValues` of Form to set default value.
### Why can't `getFieldsValue` get value at first render?
`getFieldsValue` returns collected field data by default, but the Form.Item node is not ready at the first render. You can get all field data by `getFieldsValue(true)`.
Form.List use renderProps which mean internal structure is flexible. Thus `label` and `error` can not have best place. If you want to use antd `label`, you can wrap with Form.Item instead.
React can not get correct interaction of controlled component with async value update. When user trigger `onChange`, component will do no response since `value` update is async. If you want to trigger value update async, you should use customize component to handle value state internal and pass sync value control to Form instead.
`scrollToFirstError` and `scrollToField` deps on `id` attribute passed to form control, please make sure that it hasn't been ignored in your custom form control. Check [codesandbox](https://codesandbox.io/s/antd-reproduction-template-forked-25nul?file=/index.js) for solution.
If there are multiple forms on the page, and there are duplicate same `name` form item, the form scroll probably may find the form item with the same name in another form. You need to set a different `name` for the `Form` component to distinguish it.
Form can not get real DOM node when customize component not support `ref`. It will get warning in React Strict Mode if wrap with Class Component and call `findDOMNode`. So we use `id` to locate element.
### `setFieldsValue` do not trigger `onFieldsChange` or `onValuesChange`?
It's by design. Only user interactive can trigger the change event. This design is aim to avoid call `setFieldsValue` in change event which may makes loop calling.
### Why Form.Item not update value when children is nest?
Form.Item will inject `value` and `onChange` to children when render. Once your field component is wrapped, props will not pass to the correct node. Follow code will not work as expect:
```jsx
<Form.Itemname="input">
<div>
<h3>I am a wrapped Input</h3>
<Input/>
</div>
</Form.Item>
```
You can use HOC to solve this problem, don't forget passing props to form control component:
