Form Component

Overview

The Form component is a powerful, declarative form builder that handles various input types including text fields, document uploads, and CSV processing. It automatically manages file uploads, validation, and submission with built-in error handling.

Basic Usage

import { Form } from "@samplehc/ui/components";

function BasicForm() {
  return (
    <Form 
      elements={[
        {
          type: "text",
          key: "patientName", 
          label: "Patient Name",
          description: "Enter the patient's full name"
        },
        {
          type: "text",
          key: "age",
          label: "Age",
          format: "text"
        }
      ]}
      onSubmit={(results) => {
        console.log("Form data:", results);
        // results = { patientName: "John Doe", age: "35" }
      }}
    />
  );
}

Advanced Examples

Complex Healthcare Form

import { Form } from "@samplehc/ui/components";
import { useScreenFunctions } from "@samplehc/ui/contexts";
import { Card, CardHeader, CardTitle, CardContent } from "@/components/ui/card";

function PatientIntakeForm() {
  const { handleComplete } = useScreenFunctions();

  const formElements = [
    {
      type: "text",
      key: "patientName",
      label: "Patient Full Name",
      description: "As it appears on insurance card"
    },
    {
      type: "text", 
      key: "dateOfBirth",
      label: "Date of Birth",
      description: "MM/DD/YYYY format"
    },
    {
      type: "text",
      key: "copayAmount",
      label: "Copay Amount",
      format: "currency",
      description: "Patient's copay for this visit"
    },
    {
      type: "document",
      key: "insuranceCard",
      label: "Insurance Card",
      description: "Upload front and back of insurance card",
      allowMultiple: true
    },
    {
      type: "document",
      key: "medicalRecords", 
      label: "Previous Medical Records",
      description: "Upload any relevant medical history (PDFs or ZIP files)",
      allowMultiple: true
    },
    {
      type: "csv",
      key: "labResults",
      label: "Lab Results (CSV)",
      description: "Upload lab results in CSV format if available"
    },
    {
      type: "text",
      key: "notes",
      label: "Additional Notes",
      description: "Any additional information about the patient"
    }
  ];

  return (
    <Card className="max-w-4xl mx-auto">
      <CardHeader>
        <CardTitle>Patient Intake Form</CardTitle>
      </CardHeader>
      <CardContent>
        <Form 
          elements={formElements}
          onSubmit={(results) => {
            handleComplete({ result: results });
          }}
        />
      </CardContent>
    </Card>
  );
}

Form with Conditional Logic

import { Form } from "@samplehc/ui/components";
import { useScreenFunctions } from "@samplehc/ui/contexts";

function ConditionalForm({ hasInsurance }: { hasInsurance: boolean }) {
  const { handleComplete } = useScreenFunctions();

  const baseElements = [
    {
      type: "text",
      key: "patientName", 
      label: "Patient Name"
    }
  ];

  const insuranceElements = hasInsurance ? [
    {
      type: "text",
      key: "insuranceProvider",
      label: "Insurance Provider"
    },
    {
      type: "document",
      key: "insuranceCard",
      label: "Insurance Card"
    }
  ] : [];

  return (
    <div className="space-y-4">      
      <Form 
        elements={[...baseElements, ...insuranceElements]}
        onSubmit={(results) => handleComplete({ result: results })}
      />
    </div>
  );
}

Error Handling

The Form component includes built-in error handling for file uploads and validation:

Upload Failures: If any file uploads fail, the form will display specific error messages and prevent submission until resolved.

Individual File Errors: Each file upload is handled independently. Failed uploads show specific error messages while successful uploads complete normally.

Form State Management: The form manages its own upload state and prevents submission while files are uploading. Use the loading states to provide user feedback.

Upload Behavior

Asynchronous File Processing

The Form handles file uploads asynchronously:

Form Submission: When submitted, all files are uploaded in parallel
Upload Status: Each file shows individual loading/success/error states
Completion: onSubmit is called only after all uploads complete
Error Handling: If any upload fails, onSubmit receives an empty object {}

Upload Data Flow

// Successful submission result structure
{
  // Text fields return strings
  patientName: "John Doe",
  
  // Single document returns object
  insuranceCard: { id: "doc123", fileName: "insurance.pdf" },
  
  // Multiple documents return array
  medicalRecords: [
    { id: "doc456", fileName: "record1.pdf" },
    { id: "doc789", fileName: "record2.pdf" }
  ],
  
  // CSV returns parsed data array
  labResults: [
    { "Test": "Glucose", "Value": "95", "Unit": "mg/dL" },
    { "Test": "Cholesterol", "Value": "180", "Unit": "mg/dL" }
  ]
}

Integration with Workflow System

The Form component integrates seamlessly with the SampleHC workflow system:

Automatic Upload: Documents are uploaded to the platform and return permanent IDs
Progress Tracking: Built-in loading states and progress indicators
Error Recovery: Robust error handling with retry mechanisms
