How to pass null as a field's initial value in react-final-form?

Question

A custom React component I use inside a react-final-form <Field> has a value prop of int?. Its value can either be an integer or null. But when I set a null initial value for this field component's value using the initialValues prop of the <Form> component, react-final-form converts the null to an empty string ''.

I know I can easily work around this by creating a wrapper component that checks for '' and converts it to null, but is there some other cleaner way to fix this? Or is this a library bug?

import React from "react";
import { render } from "react-dom";
import { Form, Field } from "react-final-form";

const IntField = (props) => (
  <span>
    <input type="text" value={props.value === null ? 0 : props.value} />
    <pre>
      <b>props.{props.name} === null</b> : {(initialValues[props.name] === null).toString()}
      <br />
      <b>props.value === null</b> : {((isNull) => (<span style={{ color: isNull ? 'green' : 'red' }}>{isNull.toString()}</span>))(props.value === null)}
      <br />
      <b>props: </b>{JSON.stringify(props)}
      <br />
      <b>initialValues: </b>{JSON.stringify(initialValues)}
    </pre>
  </span>
)

const onSubmit = values => {
  console.log('submitted')
}

const initialValues = { someInteger: null };

const App = () => (
    <Form
      initialValues={initialValues}
      onSubmit={onSubmit}
      render={() => (
        <form>
          <label>Some Integer:</label>&nbsp;
          <Field name="someInteger">
            {({ input, meta }) => (
              <IntField {...input} />
            )}
          </Field>
        </form>
      )}
    />
);

render(<App />, document.getElementById("root"));

Answer 1

You can use the <Field> prop allowNull? to turn off this behavior so that null values will be passed as-is to the child component.

Like this:

<Field name="someInteger1" allowNull={true}>
  {({ input, meta }) => (
    <IntField {...input} />
  )}
</Field>

如果你像我一样，正在寻找一种方法来防止 final-form 取消定义空字符串，你可以使用parse和 identity 函数：

<Field
  name="myField"
  parse={x => x}
  component={TextField}
/>
