Using Formik with Gatsby

#1

I am trying to create a Formik form in a Gatsby site using the withFormik higher order component (rather than use a render prop).

Here is a simplified version of my code:

    import React from 'react'
    import { withFormik } from 'formik'
    
    const TestPage = ({ handleChange, values }) => (
      <div>
        <input
          type="email"
          name="email"
          placeholder="Email"
          onChange={handleChange}
          value={values.email}
        />
      </div>
    )
    
    const FormikTest = withFormik({
      mapPropsToValues() {
        return {
          email: 'test@test.com',
        }
      },
    })
    
    
    export default FormikTest(TestPage)

So far, everything works just as a I want. However, I am hitting a problem when it comes to setting up a conditional argument for the email field in the mapPropsToValues object. You can see what I am trying to do by watching about 1 minute of this tutorial (it’s set to the right starting time): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNiJkjEwmpw&feature=youtu.be&t=717

The problem is that I can’t figure out how I would send props to the mapPropsToValues using Gatsby. I don’t have access to render like in that tutorial.

In other words, in Create React App, you can do something like the following:


    const FormikTest = withFormik({
      mapPropsToValues({ email }) {
        return {
          email: email || '',
        }
      },
    })(TestPage)
    
    render(<FormikTest email="test@test.com />, document.getElementById('#root'))

But I don’t have access to render in Gatsby or a <FormikTest /> component.

Any idea, therefore, how I could pass in props to mapPropsToValues so that I could conditionally set initial values for the email form using Gatsby?

Thanks.

NOTE

I have created a simple Codesandbox version which has just one page using Formik. Here is the link: https://codesandbox.io/s/gatsby-starter-default-270gs?fontsize=14

And here is the code for that page:

import React from "react"
import { withFormik } from "formik"

const IndexPage = ({ handleChange, values }) => (
  <div>
    <input
      type="email"
      name="email"
      placeholder="Email"
      onChange={handleChange}
      value={values.email}
    />
  </div>
)

const FormikTest = withFormik({
  mapPropsToValues() {
    return {
      email: "",
    }
  },
})

export default FormikTest(IndexPage)
