I am working with reach hooks and to validate my form fields I am using
react-hook-form
as it is the best option for nowSO to validating my normal input fields I am doing just
ref={register({ required: true })}
then on submit it is checking for errors as I am importing errors from react-hook-formBut when I am doing same for select field it is not checking the error object
This is what I am doing
<label htmlFor="func" className="form_label"> Select function </label> <select name="func" ref={register({ required: true })}> <option selected disabled> Select function </option> <option value="5">Function 2</option> <option value="6">Function 3</option> </select> {errors.func && ( <div> <span>Function is required</span> </div> )}
I don't know what I am missing
My actual code is with dynamic data
so I am looping it like this
<Form.Control as="select" custom> <option disabled selected>Select role</option> {loading === false && data.get_roles.map((li) => ( <option value={li.user_type_id}> {li.user_type}</option> ))} </Form.Control>
