TypeError when calling handleSubmit in react-native

[emily-curry]

Bug

Current Behavior

The recommended usage of formik in react native is: <Button onPress={props.handleSubmit} />. However, when using typescript, the type of event that handleSubmit accepts is different than what react-native's onPress generates.

Desired Behavior

Formik's handleSubmit should take a GestureResponderEvent in addition to React.FormEvent<HTMLFormElement>.

Suggested Solutions

This branch fixes this issue: https://github.com/Shurelia/formik/tree/handleSubmit-fix
Unfortunately, there is a typings conflict between @types/node and @types/react-native which prevents the build. Since the only type used from node was process, I've manually declared that as any and removed @types/node. Not an elegant solution, and I'd be open to working on it more if the maintainers are okay with removing @types/node from the project (and perhaps manually declaring process?).

Yeah this is legit. Hmmmmm. I think it may be time for Formik-native. In the mean time you can call submitForm()

I got stuck there too when trying to support React Native and TypeScript. I’m cool with dropping types/node if this works.

[emily-curry]

Thanks for the tip on submitForm()! I put in a PR anyways (#379), as it seemed an easier fix than writing new documentation to explain why submitForm should be called instead.

As a side note, I'm really digging this library. Thanks for all the hard work! This has solved a lot of the issues I was having with redux-form, and the ease of integration with react native has made it a joy to work with.

I see #379 was backed out (Re: #421). What is the current solution?

For all coming here: The issue seems to be still open.
If you simply want to remove the warning you can cast your object. It's by far not the cleanest solution, but it's better than nothing.

onPress={handleSubmit as any}

@jaredpalmer Any valid solution for correct typing in react-native?

[ianmartorell]

TypeScript is supported and React Native is supported but both at the same time aren't? 🤔

[patgoley-tts]

Any update on this issue? This makes it feel like React Native was largely an afterthought for Formik and not officially supported. Casting things to any is not a solution and can easily lead to bugs in the future.

Still is the issue.
"formik": "^2.2.9",
"react-native": "0.70.5"

[macszl]

I can confirm that this is still an issue.

wondering why this issue was closed 👀 the problem, obviously, still hitting us badly with inability of normalizing the types properly.
