# Using blocks in forms | ||
|
||
This guide describes how to use a block in a Final Form. | ||
We use a product form with a `DamImageBlock` as an example. | ||
The product has the following schema in GraphQL: | ||
|
||
```graphql | ||
type Product { | ||
id: ID! | ||
title: String! | ||
// highlight-next-line | ||
image: DamImageBlockData! | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
|
||
The following steps are necessary to add the `image` field to the form: | ||
|
||
1. Create a Final Form component for the block | ||
2. Create the block state when initializing the form | ||
3. Create the block output when submitting the form | ||
|
||
:::info | ||
|
||
The block transitions between the various states when being used in a form. | ||
The states and transitions can be viewed [here](/docs/blocks/lifecycle#the-block-in-the-admin). | ||
|
||
::: | ||
|
||
## Create a Final Form component for the block | ||
|
||
The block's `AdminComponent` API (`state`, `updateState`) must be converted to the `Field` API (`input.value`, `input.onChange`). | ||
Use the [createFinalFormBlock](https://github.com/vivid-planet/comet/blob/main/packages/admin/blocks-admin/src/form/createFinalFormBlock.tsx) helper for this: | ||
|
||
```tsx | ||
import { createFinalFormBlock } from "@comet/blocks-admin"; | ||
|
||
const FinalFormDamImageBlock = createFinalFormBlock(DamImageBlock); | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Use the newly created component in the corresponding `Field` via the `component` prop: | ||
|
||
```tsx | ||
import isEqual from "lodash.isequal"; | ||
|
||
<Field | ||
name="image" | ||
isEqual={isEqual} | ||
// highlight-next-line | ||
component={FinalFormDamImageBlock} | ||
/>; | ||
``` | ||
|
||
:::note | ||
|
||
A deep equality check using `isEqual` is necessary because the block state is an object. | ||
|
||
::: | ||
|
||
## Create the block state when initializing the form | ||
|
||
The block state needs to be created when initializing the form. | ||
If a product exists (i.e., in edit mode), transform the block input to the block state. | ||
When creating a new product, use the block's default values: | ||
|
||
```tsx | ||
import { BlockState } from "@comet/blocks-admin"; | ||
import isEqual from "lodash.isequal"; | ||
|
||
type FormValues = Omit<GQLProductFormFragment, "image"> & { | ||
// highlight-next-line | ||
image: BlockState<typeof DamImageBlock>; | ||
}; | ||
|
||
const { data } = useQuery(productFormQuery, id ? { variables: { id } } : { skip: true }); | ||
|
||
const initialValues = useMemo<Partial<FormValues>>( | ||
() => | ||
data?.product | ||
? { | ||
...filterByFragment<GQLProductFormFragment>(productFormFragment, data.product), | ||
// highlight-next-line | ||
image: DamImageBlock.input2State(data.product.image), | ||
} | ||
: { | ||
inStock: false, | ||
// highlight-next-line | ||
image: DamImageBlock.defaultValues(), | ||
}, | ||
[data], | ||
); | ||
|
||
<FinalForm | ||
// highlight-next-line | ||
initialValues={initialValues} | ||
initialValuesEqual={isEqual} | ||
/>; | ||
``` | ||
|
||
:::note | ||
|
||
A deep equality check using `initialValuesEqual` is necessary when using blocks in a form. | ||
|
||
::: | ||
|
||
## Create the block output when submitting the form | ||
|
||
Transform the block state to the block output before submitting the form: | ||
|
||
```tsx | ||
const handleSubmit = async (values: FormValues) => { | ||
const input = { | ||
...values, | ||
// highlight-next-line | ||
image: DamImageBlock.state2Output(values.image), | ||
}; | ||
|
||
/* Create or update the product... */ | ||
}; | ||
``` |
