Automatic forms. Find it on NPM - https://www.npmjs.com/package/formatic.

Warning!

Formatic is currently in use in production, but the API is likely to change significantly in its next versions.

What is formatic?

Formatic is a configurable, pluggable forms library for React. Pass in JSON fields that define your form, along with a value to be edited, and Formatic gives you form fields to edit your value.

Using formatic

If you're happy with the default configuration, you can use it like this:

// Get the formatic component.
import Formatic from 'formatic';
 
// Create some fields.
var fields = [
  {
    type: 'string',
    isSingleLine: true,
    key: 'firstName',
    label: 'First Name',
  },
  {
    type: 'str',
    isSingleLine: true,
    key: 'lastName',
    label: 'Last Name',
  },
];
 
// Render the form.
React.render(
  <Formatic fields={fields} onChange={newValue => console.log(newValue)} />,
  document.getElementById('my-form')
);

This creates a simple form like this:
