## API

### Form

| Property | Description | Type | Default Value |
| -------- | ----------- | ---- | ------------- |
| form | Decorated by `Form.create()` will be automatically set `this.form` property, so just pass to form. If you use the template syntax, you can use `this.$form.createForm(this, options)` | object | n/a |
| hideRequiredMark | Hide required mark of all form items | Boolean | false |
| layout | Define form layout | 'horizontal'\|'vertical'\|'inline' | 'horizontal' |
| autoFormCreate(deprecated) | Automate Form.create, Recommended for use under the `template` component, and cannot be used with `Form.create()`. You should use `$form.createForm` to instead it after 1.1.9.  |Function(form)| |
| options(deprecated) | The `options` corresponding to `Form.create(options)`.  You should use `$form.createForm` to instead it after 1.1.9.  | Object | {} |

### Events
| Events Name | Description | Arguments |
| --- | --- | --- |
| submit | Defines a function will be called if form data validation is successful. | Function(e:Event) |

### Form.create(options) \| this.$form.createForm(this, options)

How to use：

#### Used in jsx, the usage is consistent with the React version of antd
```jsx
const CustomizedForm = {}

CustomizedForm = Form.create({})(CustomizedForm);
```
Maintain an ref for wrapped component instance, use `wrappedComponentRef`.

#### Single file template usage
````html
<template>
<a-form :form="form" />
</template>
<script>
export default {
  beforeCreate () {
    this.form = this.$form.createForm(this, options)
  },
}
</script>
````


The following `options` are available:

| Property | Description | Type |
| -------- | ----------- | ---- |
| props | Only supports the use of Form.create({})(CustomizedForm). declare props on form(和[like vue props]( https://vuejs.org/v2/api/#props)) | {} |
| mapPropsToFields | Convert props to field value(e.g. reading the values from Redux store). And you must mark returned fields with [`Form.createFormField`](#Form.createFormField). If you use `$form.createForm` to create a collector, you can map any data to the Field without being bound by the parent component. | (props) => Object{ fieldName: FormField { value } } |
| validateMessages | Default validate message. And its format is similar with [newMessages](https://github.com/yiminghe/async-validator/blob/master/src/messages.js)'s returned value | Object { [nested.path]&#x3A; String } |
| onFieldsChange | Specify a function that will be called when the value a `Form.Item` gets changed. Usage example: saving the field's value to Redux store. | Function(props, fields) |
| onValuesChange | A handler while value of any field is changed | (props, values) => void |

If the form has been decorated by `Form.create` then it has `this.form` property. `this.form` provides some APIs as follows:

> Note: Before using `getFieldsValue` `getFieldValue` `setFieldsValue` and so on, please make sure that corresponding field had been registered with `getFieldDecorator`.

| Method | Description | Type |
| ------ | ----------- | ---- |
| getFieldDecorator | Two-way binding for form, single file template can be bound using the directive `v-decorator`. please read below for details. |  |
| getFieldError | Get the error of a field. | Function(name) |
| getFieldsError | Get the specified fields' error. If you don't specify a parameter, you will get all fields' error. | Function(\[names: string\[]]) |
| getFieldsValue | Get the specified fields' values. If you don't specify a parameter, you will get all fields' values. | Function(\[fieldNames: string\[]]) |
| getFieldValue | Get the value of a field. | Function(fieldName: string) |
| isFieldsTouched | Check whether any of fields is touched by `getFieldDecorator`'s `options.trigger` event | (names?: string\[]) => boolean |
| isFieldTouched | Check whether a field is touched by `getFieldDecorator`'s `options.trigger` event | (name: string) => boolean |
| isFieldValidating | Check if the specified field is being validated. | Function(name) |
| resetFields | Reset the specified fields' value(to `initialValue`) and status. If you don't specify a parameter, all the fields will be reset. | Function(\[names: string\[]]) |
| setFields | Set value and error state of fields. | ({<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;\[fieldName\]: {value: any, errors: \[Error\] }<br />}) => void |
| setFieldsValue | Set the value of a field. | Function({ [fieldName]&#x3A; value } |
| validateFields | Validate the specified fields and get theirs values and errors. If you don't specify the parameter of fieldNames, you will validate all fields. | (<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;\[fieldNames: string\[]],<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;\[options: object\],<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;callback(errors, values)<br />) => void |
| validateFieldsAndScroll | This function is similar to `validateFields`, but after validation, if the target field is not in visible area of form, form will be automatically scrolled to the target field area. | same as `validateFields` |

### validateFields/validateFieldsAndScroll

```jsx
const { form: { validateFields } } = this;
validateFields((errors, values) => {
  // ...
});
validateFields(['field1', 'field2'], (errors, values) => {
  // ...
});
validateFields(['field1', 'field2'], options, (errors, values) => {
  // ...
});
```

| Method | Description | Type | Default |
| ------ | ----------- | ---- | ------- |
| options.first | If `true`, every field will stop validation at first failed rule | boolean | false |
| options.firstFields | Those fields will stop validation at first failed rule | String\[] | \[] |
| options.force | Should validate validated field again when `validateTrigger` is been triggered again | boolean | false |
| options.scroll | Config scroll behavior of `validateFieldsAndScroll`, more: [dom-scroll-into-view's config](https://github.com/yiminghe/dom-scroll-into-view#function-parameter) | Object | {} |

#### Callback arguments example of validateFields

- `errors`:

   ```js
   {
     "userName": {
       "errors": [
         {
           "message": "Please input your username!",
           "field": "userName"
         }
       ]
     },
     "password": {
       "errors": [
         {
           "message": "Please input your Password!",
           "field": "password"
         }
       ]
     }
   }
   ```

- `values`:

   ```js
   {
     "userName": "username",
     "password": "password",
   }
   ```

### Form.createFormField

To mark the returned fields data in `mapPropsToFields`, [demo](#components-form-demo-global-state).

### this.form.getFieldDecorator(id, options) and v-decorator="[id, options]"

After wrapped by `getFieldDecorator` or `v-decorator`, `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` to collect data, but you still can listen to `onChange`(and so on) events.
2. You cannot set value of form control via `value` `defaultValue` prop, and you should set default value with `initialValue` in `getFieldDecorator` instead.
3. You shouldn't call `v-model` manually, please use `this.form.setFieldsValue` to change value programmatically.

#### Special attention

1. `getFieldDecorator` and `v-decorator` can not be used to decorate stateless component.
2. you can't use `getFieldDecorator` and `v-decorator` in stateless component: <https://vuejs.org/v2/api/#functional>

#### getFieldDecorator(id, options) and v-decorator="[id, options]" parameters
