0.12.0

Upgrade to React 0.13

As of this release, newforms depends on React >=0.13.0 as a peer dependency and no longer requires React.addons to use a custom rendering component with RenderForm.

Removed deprecated formsetFactory()

formsetFactory() - deprecated in 0.11 - has been removed. FormSet.extend() can now be given a form option and the same options formsetFactory() took to create a new FormSet constructor with defaulted options and custom methods.

// < 0.12.0
var DrinksFormSet = forms.formsetFactory(DrinkForm, {
  extra: 3,
  clean() {
    // ...
  }
})

// 0.12.0
var DrinksFormSet = forms.FormSet.extend({
  forn: DrinkForm,
  extra: 3,
  clean() {
    // ...
  }
})

0.11.0

npm publishing changes

Newforms is now published to npm as flattened, top-level modules. Aside from any documented breaking changes, the top level API in require('newforms') has not changed.

If you were requiring anything under newforms/lib, there are no longer fields, forms, formsets or widgets modules and all the components they used to export are now available as top-level imports under newforms:

// < 0.11.0
var FileField = require('newforms/lib/fields/FileField')

// 0.11.0
var FileField = require('newforms/FileField')

Top-level API changes

BaseForm has been renamed to Form.

BaseFormSet has been renamed to FormSet.

formData has been renamed to getFormData.

Removed deprecated default rendering methods

Default rendering methods on Form and FormSet (render(), asTable(), asDiv() and asUl()) - deprecated in 0.10 - have been removed. They have been replaced with React components which provide a default rendering implementation: RenderForm and RenderFormSet.

// < 0.11.0
  render() {
    var form = this.form
    var formset = this.formset
    return <form onSubmit={this._onSubmit}>
      {form.render()}
      {formset.render()}
      <button>Submit</button>
    </form>
  }

// 0.11.0
  render() {
    var form = this.form
    var formset = this.formset
    return <form onSubmit={this._onSubmit}>
      <forms.RenderForm form={form}/>
      <forms.RenderFormSet formset={formset}/>
      <button>Submit</button>
    </form>
  }

Default rendering by these components uses <div> containers, but they can be customised by passing props. See the React Components documentation for more info.
