Get started

Setup

$ npm install tcomb-form

Note: Use [email protected] with [email protected]. See #200.

Working example

import React from 'react';
import { render } from 'react-dom';
import t from 'tcomb-form';

const Form = t.form.Form;

// define your domain model with tcomb
// https://github.com/gcanti/tcomb
const Person = t.struct({
  name: t.String,
  surname: t.String
});

const App = React.createClass({

  save() {
    // call getValue() to get the values of the form
    var value = this.refs.form.getValue();
    // if validation fails, value will be null
    if (value) {
      // value here is an instance of Person
      console.log(value);
    }
  },

  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <Form
          ref="form"
          type={Person}
        />
        <button onClick={this.save}>Save</button>
      </div>
    );
  }

});

render(<App />, document.getElementById('app'));

Note. Labels are automatically generated.

API

getValue()

Returns null if the validation failed; otherwise returns an instance of your model.

Note. Calling getValue will cause the validation of all the fields of the form, including some side effects like highlighting the errors.

validate()

Returns a ValidationResult (see tcomb-validation for a reference documentation).

How to

Adding a default value and listening to changes

The Form component behaves like a controlled component:

const App = React.createClass({

  getInitialState() {
    return {
      value: {
        name: 'Giulio',
        surname: 'Canti'
      }
    };
  },

  onChange(value) {
    this.setState({value});
  },

  save() {
    var value = this.refs.form.getValue();
    if (value) {
      console.log(value);
    }
  },

  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <Form
          ref="form"
          type={Person}
          value={this.state.value}
          onChange={this.onChange}
        />
        <button onClick={this.save}>Save</button>
      </div>
    );
  }

});

The onChange handler has the following signature:

(raw: any, path: Array<string | number>, kind?) => void

where

  • raw contains the current raw value of the form (can be an invalid value for your model)
  • path is the path to the field triggering the change
  • kind specify the kind of change (when undefined means a value change)
    • 'add' list item added
    • 'remove' list item removed
    • 'moveUp' list item moved up
    • 'moveDown' list item moved down

Reset the form

In the previous example, just pass null to the value prop:

const App = React.createClass({

  ...

  resetForm() {
    this.setState({value: null});
  },

  save() {
    var value = this.refs.form.getValue();
    if (value) {
      console.log(value);
      // clear all fields after submit
      this.resetForm();
    }
  },

  ...

});

Accessing fields

You can get access to a field with the getComponent(path) API:

const Person = t.struct({
  name: t.String,
  surname: t.String
});

const App = React.createClass({

  onChange(value, path) {
    // validate a field on every change
    this.refs.form.getComponent(path).validate();
  },

  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <Form ref="form"
          type={Person}
          onChange={this.onChange}
        />
      </div>
    );
  }

});

Submitting the form

The output of the Form component is a fieldset tag containing your fields. You can submit the form by wrapping the output with a form tag:

const App = React.createClass({

  onSubmit(evt) {
    const value = this.refs.form.getValue();
    if (!value) {
      // there are errors, don't send the form
      evt.preventDefault();
    } else {
      // everything ok, let the form fly...
      // ...or handle the values contained in the
      // `value` variable with js
    }
  },

  render() {
    return (
      <form onSubmit={this.onSubmit}>
        <Form
          ref="form"
          type={Person}
        />
        <button type="submit">Save</button>
      </form>
    );
  }

});

Customised error messages

See Error messages section.

List with Dynamic Items (Different structs based on selected value)

Lists of different types are not supported. This is because a tcomb's list, by definition, contains only values of the same type. You can define a union though:

const AccountType = t.enums.of([
  'type 1',
  'type 2',
  'other'
], 'AccountType')

const KnownAccount = t.struct({
  type: AccountType
}, 'KnownAccount')

// UnknownAccount extends KnownAccount so it owns also the type field
const UnknownAccount = KnownAccount.extend({
  label: t.String,
}, 'UnknownAccount')

// the union
const Account = t.union([KnownAccount, UnknownAccount], 'Account')

// the final form type
const Type = t.list(Account)

Generally tcomb's unions require a dispatch implementation in order to select the suitable type constructor for a given value and this would be the key in this use case:

// if account type is 'other' return the UnknownAccount type
Account.dispatch = value => value && value.type === 'other' ? UnknownAccount : KnownAccount

The complete example:

import React from 'react'
import t from 'tcomb-form'

const AccountType = t.enums.of([
  'type 1',
  'type 2',
  'other'
], 'AccountType')

const KnownAccount = t.struct({
  type: AccountType
}, 'KnownAccount')

const UnknownAccount = KnownAccount.extend({
  label: t.String,
}, 'UnknownAccount')

const Account = t.union([KnownAccount, UnknownAccount], 'Account')

Account.dispatch = value => value && value.type === 'other' ? UnknownAccount : KnownAccount

const Type = t.list(Account)

const App = React.createClass({

  onSubmit(evt) {
    evt.preventDefault()
    const v = this.refs.form.getValue()
    if (v) {
      console.log(v)
    }
  },

  render() {
    return (
      <form onSubmit={this.onSubmit}>
        <t.form.Form
          ref="form"
          type={Type}
        />
        <div className="form-group">
          <button type="submit" className="btn btn-primary">Save</button>
        </div>
      </form>
    )
  }

})

Types

Models are defined with tcomb. tcomb is a library for Node.js and the browser which allows you to check the types of JavaScript values at runtime with a simple syntax. It's great for Domain Driven Design, for testing, and for adding safety to your internal code.

Required field

By default fields are required:

const Person = t.struct({
  name: t.String,    // a required string
  surname: t.String  // a required string
});

Optional field

In order to create an optional field, wrap the field type with the t.maybe combinator:

const Person = t.struct({
  name: t.String,
  surname: t.String,
  email: t.maybe(t.String) // an optional string
});

The suffix " (optional)" is automatically added to optional fields.

You can customise the suffix value, or set a suffix for required fields (see the "Internationalization" section).

Numbers

In order to create a numeric field, use the t.Number type:

const Person = t.struct({
  name: t.String,
  surname: t.String,
  email: t.maybe(t.String),
  age: t.Number // a numeric field
});

tcomb-form will automatically convert numbers to / from strings.

Refinements

A predicate is a function with the following signature:

(x: any) => boolean

You can refine a type with the t.refinement(type, predicate) combinator:

// a type representing positive numbers
const Positive = t.refinement(t.Number, (n) => n >= 0});

const Person = t.struct({
  name: t.String,
  surname: t.String,
  email: t.maybe(t.String),
  age: Positive
});

Refinements allow you to express any custom validation with a simple predicate.

Booleans

In order to create a boolean field, use the t.Boolean type:

const Person = t.struct({
  name: t.String,
  surname: t.String,
  email: t.maybe(t.String),
  age: t.Number,
  rememberMe: t.Boolean // a boolean field
});

Booleans are displayed as checkboxes.

Dates

In order to create a date field, use the t.Date type:

const Person = t.struct({
  name: t.String,
  surname: t.String,
  email: t.maybe(t.String),
  age: t.Number,
  rememberMe: t.Boolean,
  birthDate: t.Date // a date field
});

Enums

In order to create an enum field, use the t.enums combinator:

const Gender = t.enums({
  M: 'Male',
  F: 'Female'
});

const Person = t.struct({
  name: t.String,
  surname: t.String,
  email: t.maybe(t.String),
  age: t.Number,
  rememberMe: t.Boolean,
  birthDate: t.Date,
  gender: Gender // enum
});

By default enums are displayed as selects.

Lists

You can handle a list with the t.list combinator:

const Person = t.struct({
  name: t.String,
  surname: t.String,
  email: t.maybe(t.String),
  age: Positive, // refinement
  rememberMe: t.Boolean,
  birthDate: t.Date,
  gender: Gender,
  tags: t.list(t.String) // a list of strings
});

Nested structures

You can nest lists and structs at an arbitrary level:

const Person = t.struct({
  name: t.String,
  surname: t.String
});

const Persons = t.list(Person);

...

<Form
  ref="form"
  type={Persons}
/>

Rendering options

In order to customise the look and feel, use an options prop:

<Form type={Model} options={options} />

Warning. tcomb-form uses shouldComponentUpdate aggressively. In order to ensure that tcomb-form detect any change to type, options or value props you have to change references:

Example: disable a field based on another field's value

const Type = t.struct({
  disable: t.Boolean, // if true, name field will be disabled
  name: t.String
});

const options = {
  fields: {
    name: {}
  }
};

const App = React.createClass({

  getInitialState() {
    return {
      options: options,
      value: null
    };
  },

  onSubmit(evt) {
    evt.preventDefault();
    var value = this.refs.form.getValue();
    if (value) {
      console.log(value);
    }
  },

  onChange(value) {
    // tcomb immutability helpers
    // https://github.com/gcanti/tcomb/blob/master/GUIDE.md#updating-immutable-instances
    var options = t.update(this.state.options, {
      fields: {
        name: {
          disabled: {'$set': value.disable}
        }
      }
    });
    this.setState({options: options, value: value});
  },

  render() {
    return (
      <form onSubmit={this.onSubmit}>
        <Form ref="form"
          type={Type}
          options={this.state.options}
          value={this.state.value}
          onChange={this.onChange}
        />
        <button className="btn btn-primary">Save</button>
      </form>
    );
  }

});

Struct options

Automatically generated placeholders

In order to generate default placeholders use the option auto: 'placeholders':

const options = {
  auto: 'placeholders'
};

<Form type={Person} options={options} />

Or auto: 'none' if you don't want neither labels nor placeholders:

const options = {
  auto: 'none'
};

Fields order

You can sort the fields with the order option:

const options = {
  order: ['name', 'surname', 'rememberMe', 'gender', 'age', 'email']
};

Warning: Any field that is not in this array will be omitted from the form

Legend

You can add a fieldset legend with the legend option:

const options = {
  // you can use strings or JSX
  legend: <i>My form legend</i>
};

Help message

You can add an help message with the help option:

const options = {
  // you can use strings or JSX
  help: <i>My form help</i>
};

Error messages

You can add a custom error message with the error option:

const options = {
  error: <i>A custom error message</i> // use strings or JSX
};

error can also be a function with the following signature:

type getValidationErrorMessage = (value, path, context) => ?(string | ReactElement)

where

  • value is the (parsed) current value of the component.
  • path is the path of the value being validated
  • context is the value of the context prop. Also it contains a reference to the component options.

The value returned by the function will be used as error message.

If you want to show the error message onload, add the hasError option:

const options = {
  hasError: true,
  error: <i>A custom error message</i>
};

Another (advanced) way to customize the error message is to add a:

getValidationErrorMessage(value, path, context) => ?(string | ReactElement)

static function to the type, where the arguments are the same as above:

const Age = t.refinement(t.Number, (n) => return n >= 18);

// if you define a getValidationErrorMessage function, it will be called on validation errors
Age.getValidationErrorMessage = (value, path, context) => {
  return 'bad age, locale: ' + context.locale;
};

const Schema = t.struct({
  age: Age
});

const App = React.createClass({

  onSubmit(evt) {
    evt.preventDefault();
    const value = this.refs.form.getValue();
    if (value) {
      console.log(value);
    }
  },

  render() {
    return (
      <form onSubmit={this.onSubmit}>
        <t.form.Form
          ref="form"
          type={Schema}
          context={{locale: 'it-IT'}}
        />
        <button type="submit" className="btn btn-primary">Save</button>
      </form>
    );
  }

});

You can even define getValidationErrorMessage on the supertype in order to be DRY:

t.Number.getValidationErrorMessage = (value, path, context) => {
  return 'bad number';
};

Age.getValidationErrorMessage = (value, path, context) => {
  return 'bad age, locale: ' + context.locale;
};

Disabled

You can disable the whole fieldset with the disabled option:

const options = {
  disabled: true
};

Fields configuration

You can configure each field with the fields option:

const options = {
  fields: {
    name: {
      // name field configuration here..
    },
    surname: {
      // surname field configuration here..
    },
    ...
  }
});

fields is a hash containing a key for each field you want to configure.

Look and feel

You can customise the look and feel with the template option:

const options = {
  template: mytemplate // see Templates section for documentation
}

List options

The following options are similar to the Struct ones:

  • auto
  • disabled
  • help
  • hasError
  • error
  • legend
  • template

Items configuration

To configure all the items in a list, set the item option:

const Colors = t.list(t.String);

const options = {
  item: {
    type: 'color' // HTML5 type attribute
  }
});

<Form type={Colors} options={options} />

Internationalization

You can override the default language (english) with the i18n option:

const options = {
  i18n: {
    add: 'Nuovo',               // add button
    down: 'Giù',                // move down button
    optional: ' (opzionale)',   // suffix added to optional fields
    required: '',               // suffix added to required fields
    remove: 'Elimina',          // remove button
    up: 'Su'                    // move up button
  }
};

Buttons configuration

You can prevent operations on lists with the following options:

  • disableAdd: (default false) prevents adding new items
  • disableRemove: (default false) prevents removing existing items
  • disableOrder: (default false) prevents sorting existing items
const options = {
  disableOrder: true
};

Union options

const AccountType = t.enums.of([
  'type 1',
  'type 2',
  'other'
], 'AccountType')

const KnownAccount = t.struct({
  type: AccountType
}, 'KnownAccount')

// UnknownAccount extends KnownAccount so it owns also the type field
const UnknownAccount = KnownAccount.extend({
  label: t.String,
}, 'UnknownAccount')

// the union
const Account = t.union([KnownAccount, UnknownAccount], 'Account')

// the final form type
const Type = t.list(Account)

const options = {
  item: [ // one options object for each concrete type of the union
    {
      label: 'KnownAccount'
    },
    {
      label: 'UnknownAccount'
    }
  ]
}

Textbox options

Tech note. Values containing only white spaces are converted to null.

The following options are similar to the fieldset ones:

  • disabled
  • help
  • hasError
  • error
  • template

Type attribute

You can set the type attribute with the type option. The following values are allowed:

  • 'text' (default)
  • 'password'
  • 'hidden'
  • 'textarea' (outputs a textarea instead of a textbox)
  • 'static' (outputs a static value)
  • all the HTML5 type values

Label

You can override the default label with the label option:

const options = {
  fields: {
    name: {
      // you can use strings or JSX
      label: <i>My label</i>
    }
  }
};

Attributes and events

You can add attributes and events with the attrs option:

const options = {
  fields: {
    name: {
      attrs: {
        autoFocus: true,
        placeholder: 'Type your name here',
        onBlur: () => {
          console.log('onBlur');
        }
      }
    }
  }
};

Styling

You can a style class with the className or the style attribute:

const options = {
  fields: {
    name: {
      attrs: {
        className: 'myClassName'
      }
    }
  }
};

className can be a string, an array of strings or a dictionary string -> boolean.

Checkbox options

The following options are similar to the textbox ones:

  • attrs
  • label
  • help
  • disabled
  • hasError
  • error
  • template

Select options

The following options are similar to the textbox ones:

  • attrs
  • label
  • help
  • disabled
  • hasError
  • error
  • template

Null option

You can customise the null option with the nullOption option:

const options = {
  fields: {
    gender: {
      nullOption: {value: '', text: 'Choose your gender'}
    }
  }
};

You can remove the null option by setting the nullOption option to false.

Warning: when you set nullOption = false you must also set the Form's value prop for the select field.

Tech note. A value equal to nullOption.value (default '') is converted to null.

Options order

You can sort the options with the order option:

const options = {
  fields: {
    gender: {
      order: 'asc' // or 'desc'
    }
  }
};

Custom options

You can customise the options with the options option:

const options = {
  fields: {
    gender: {
      options: [
        {value: 'M', text: 'Maschio'},
         // use `disabled: true` to disable an option
        {value: 'F', text: 'Femmina', disabled: true}
      ]
    }
  }
};

An option is an object with the following structure:

{
  value: string,      // required
  text: string,       // required
  disabled: ?boolean  // optional, default = false
}

You can also add optgroups:

const Car = t.enums.of('Audi Chrysler Ford Renault Peugeot');

const Select = t.struct({
  car: Car
});

const options = {
  fields: {
    car: {
      options: [
        {value: 'Audi', text: 'Audi'}, // an option
        {label: 'US', options: [ // a group of options
          {value: 'Chrysler', text: 'Chrysler'},
          {value: 'Ford', text: 'Ford'}
        ]},
        {label: 'France', options: [ // another group of options
          {value: 'Renault', text: 'Renault'},
          {value: 'Peugeot', text: 'Peugeot'}
        ], disabled: true} // use `disabled: true` to disable an optgroup
      ]
    }
  }
};

Render as a radio group

You can render the select as a radio group by using the factory option to override the default:

const options = {
  factory: t.form.Radio
};

Multiple select

You can turn the select into a multiple select by passing a list as type and using the factory option to override the default:

const Car = t.enums.of('Audi Chrysler Ford Renault Peugeot');

const Select = t.struct({
  car: t.list(Car)
});

const options = {
  fields: {
    car: {
      factory: t.form.Select
    }
  }
};

Date options

The following options are similar to the textbox ones:

  • label
  • help
  • disabled
  • hasError
  • error
  • template

Fields order

You can sort the fields with the order option:

const Type = t.struct({
  date: t.Date
});

const options = {
  fields: {
    date: {
      order: ['D', 'M', 'YY']
    }
  }
};

Customizations

Templates

To customise the "skin" of tcomb-form you have to write a template. A template is simply a function with the following signature:

(locals: any) => ReactElement

where locals is an object contaning the "recipe" for rendering the input, and is built by tcomb-form for you.

For example, this is the recipe for a textbox:

{
  attrs: Object             // should render attributes and events
  config: Object            // custom options, see Template addons section
  context: Any              // a reference to the context prop
  disabled: maybe(Boolean), // should be disabled
  error: maybe(Label),      // should show an error
  hasError: maybe(Boolean), // if true should show an error state
  help: maybe(Label),       // should show a help message
  label: maybe(Label),      // should show a label
  onChange: Function,       // should call this function with the changed value
  path: Array,              // the path of this field with respect to the form root
  type: String,             // should use this as type attribute
  typeInfo: Object          // an object containing info on the current type
  value: Any                // the current value of the textbox
}

You can set a custom template using the template option:

const Animal = t.enums({
 dog: "Dog",
 cat: "Cat"
});

const Pet = t.struct({
  name: t.String,
  type: Animal
});

const Person = t.struct({
  name: t.String,
  pets: t.list(Pet)
});

const formLayout = (locals) => {
  return (
    <div>
      <p>formLayout</p>
      <div>{locals.inputs.name}</div>
      <div>{locals.inputs.pets}</div>
    </div>
  );
};

const petLayout = (locals) => {
  return (
    <div>
      <p>petLayout</p>
      <div>{locals.inputs.name}</div>
      <div>{locals.inputs.type}</div>
    </div>
  );
};

const options = {
  template: formLayout,
  fields: {
    pets: { // <- pets is a list, you can customise the elements with the `item` option
      item: {
        template: petLayout
      }
    }
  }
};

const value = {
  name: 'myname',
  pets: [
    {name: 'pet1', type: 'dog'},
    {name: 'pet2', type: 'cat'}
  ]
};

const App = React.createClass({

  save() {
    const value = this.refs.form.getValue();
    if (value) {
      console.log(value);
    }
  },

  render() {

    return (
      <div>
        <Form ref="form"
          type={Person}
          options={options}
          value={value}
        />
        <br/>
        <button className="btn btn-primary" onClick={this.save}>Save</button>
      </div>
    );
  }

});

Clone default templates

In order to keep the majority of the implementation a template can be cloned. Every template own a series of render* function that can be overridden:

const Type = t.struct({
  name: t.String
})

const myTemplate = t.form.Form.templates.textbox.clone({
  // override just the input default implementation (labels, help, error will be preserved)
  renderInput: (locals) => {
    return <input value={locals.value} />
  }
})

const options = {
  fields: {
    name: {
      template: myTemplate
    }
  }
}

Transformers

Say you want a search textbox which accepts a list of keywords separated by spaces:

const Search = t.struct({
  search: t.list(t.String)
});

tcomb-form by default will render the search field as a list. In order to render a textbox you have to override the default behaviour with the factory option:

const options = {
  fields: {
    search: {
      factory: t.form.Textbox
    }
  }
};

There is a problem though: a textbox handles only strings, so we need a way to transform a list to a string and a string to a list. A Transformer deals with serialization / deserialization of data and has the following interface:

const Transformer = t.struct({
  format: t.Function, // from value to string, it must be idempotent
  parse: t.Function   // from string to value
});

Important. the format function SHOULD BE idempotent.

A basic transformer implementation for the search textbox:

const listTransformer = {
  format: (value) => {
    return Array.isArray(value) ? value.join(' ') : value;
  },
  parse: (str) => {
    return str ? str.split(' ') : [];
  }
};

Now you can handle lists using the transformer option:

// example of initial value
const value = {
  search: ['climbing', 'yosemite']
};

const options = {
  fields: {
    search: {
      factory: t.form.Textbox,
      transformer: listTransformer,
      help: 'Keywords are separated by spaces'
    }
  }
};

Custom factories

The easisiest way to define a custom factory is to extend t.form.Component and define the getTemplate method:

//
// a custom factory representing a tags input
//

import React from 'react';
import t from 'tcomb-form';
import TagsInput from 'react-tagsinput'; // I'm using this but you can build your own (and reusable!) tagsinput

class TagsComponent extends t.form.Component { // extend the base class

  getTemplate() {
    return (locals) => {
      return (
        <TagsInput value={locals.value} onChange={locals.onChange} />
      );
    };
  }

}

export default TagsComponent;

Usage

const Type = t.struct({
  tags: t.list(t.String)
});

const options = {
  fields: {
    tags: {
      factory: TagsComponent
    }
  }
};

const value = {
  tags: [] // react-tagsinput requires an initial value
}
...

<t.form.Form
  ref="form"
  type={Type}
  options={options}
  value={value}
/>

getTcombFormFactory

If a type owns a getTcombFormFactory(options) static function, it will be used to retrieve the suitable factory

Example

// instead of
const Country = t.enums.of(['IT', 'US'], 'Country');

const Type = t.struct({
  country: Country
});

const options = {
  fields: {
    country: {
      factory: t.form.Radio
    }
  }
};

// you can write
const Country = t.enums.of(['IT', 'US'], 'Country');

Country.getTcombFormFactory = (/*options*/) => {
  return t.form.Radio;
};

const Type = t.struct({
  country: Country
});

const options = {};

getTcombFormOptions

If a type owns a getTcombFormOptions static function, tcomb-form will call it and use the result to populate the rendering options.

For example, the following two code snippets behave the same:

const Message = t.maybe(t.String);
const Textbox = t.struct({
  message: Message
});

Message.getTcombFormOptions = formOptions => ({
  help: <span>Enter text here!</span>
});

<Form type={Textbox} />
const Textbox = t.struct({
  message: t.maybe(t.String)
});

const options = {
  fields: {
    message: {
      help: <span>Enter text here!</span>
    }
  }
};

<Form type={Textbox} options={options} />

You can mix and match Form's options prop and getTcombFormOptions as you see fit. The formOptions parameter passed to getTcombFormOptions contains the rendering options for this type as passed in via Form's options prop, if any.

getTcombFormOptions is particularly helpful to keep code easy to follow when using tcomb-form on deeply nested data structures.

Bootstrap extras

Textbox

Addons

You can set an addon before or an addon after with the config.addonBefore and config.addonAfter options:

const Textbox = t.struct({
  mytext: t.String
});

const options = {
  fields: {
    mytext: {
      config: {
        // you can use strings or JSX
        addonBefore: <i>before</i>,
        addonAfter: <i>after</i>
      }
    }
  }
};

<Form type={Textbox} options={options} />

You can set a button after (before) with the config.buttonAfter (config.buttonBefore) option:

const options = {
  fields: {
    mytext: {
      config: {
        buttonAfter: <button className="btn btn-default">Click me</button>
      }
    }
  }
};

<Form type={Textbox} options={options} />

Size

You can set the textbox size with the config.size option:

const Textbox = t.struct({
  mytext: t.String
});

const options = {
  fields: {
    mytext: {
      config: {
        size: 'lg' // xs sm md lg are allowed
      }
    }
  }
};

<Form type={Textbox} options={options} />

Select

Same as Textbox extras.

Struct

You can render the form horizontal with the config.horizontal option:

const Person = t.struct({
  name: t.String,
  notifyMe: t.Boolean,
  email: t.maybe(t.String)
});

const options = {
  config: {
    // for each of lg md sm xs you can specify the columns width
    horizontal: {
      md: [3, 9],
      sm: [6, 6]
    }
  }
};

// remember to add the proper bootstrap style class
// to a wrapping div (or form) tag in order
// to get a nice layout
<div className="form-horizontal">
  <Form type={Person} options={options} />
</div>

General configuration

tcomb-form uses the following default settings:

Changing the default language

import t from 'tcomb-form/lib'; // load tcomb-form without templates and i18n
import templates from 'tcomb-form-templates-bootstrap';

t.form.Form.templates = templates;
t.form.Form.i18n = {
  optional: ' (opzionale)',
  required: '',
  add: 'Nuovo',
  remove: 'Elimina',
  up: 'Su',
  down: 'Giù'
};

Or pick one in the i18n folder (constributions welcome!):

import t from 'tcomb-form/lib'; // load tcomb-form without templates and i18n
import templates from 'tcomb-form-templates-bootstrap';
import i18n from 'tcomb-form/lib/i18n/it';

t.form.Form.templates = templates;
t.form.Form.i18n = i18n;

Changing the default skin

import t from 'tcomb-form/lib'; // load tcomb-form without templates and i18n
import i18n from 'tcomb-form/lib/i18n/en';
import semantic from 'tcomb-form-templates-semantic';

t.form.Form.i18n = i18n;
t.form.Form.templates = semantic;
