How to Use

1. Prepare a JSON schema

Create a JSON file that defines your form fields and their properties.

Example: sample_schema.json

{
  "username": {
    "label": "Username",
    "type": "text",
    "required": true,
    "placeholder": "Enter your username"
  },
  "email": {
    "label": "Email Address",
    "type": "email",
    "required": true
  },
  "password": {
    "label": "Password",
    "type": "password",
    "required": true
  }
}

2. Write your Python script

Use the generate_react_form function to generate your form component.

Example: test/test_react.py

import json
from package.react_generator import generate_react_form

with open("sample_schema.json") as f:
    schema = json.load(f)

output_path = "GeneratedForm.jsx"
generate_react_form(schema, output_path)

3. Run the script

python test/test_react.py

After running, you'll get a GeneratedForm.jsx file containing a full React form component.

🧪 Output

The generated JSX form will look like this (simplified):

import { useState } from 'react';

export default function Form() {
  const [username, setUsername] = useState("");
  const [email, setEmail] = useState("");
  const [password, setPassword] = useState("");

  const handleSubmit = (e) => {
    e.preventDefault();
    console.log({ username, email, password });
  };
                
  return (
    <form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
      <div>
        <label>Username</label>
        <input
          name="username"
          value={username}
          onChange={(e) => setUsername(e.target.value)}
          required
          placeholder="Enter your username"
          type="text"
        />
      </div>
      ...
      <button type="submit">Submit</button>
    </form>
  );
}
