This is a quick example of how to implement a required checkbox field in React with Formik using the Yup object schema validator.
Here it is in action: (See on StackBlitz at https://stackblitz.com/edit/react-formik-required-checkbox)
React + Formik Required Checkbox App Component
The app component contains an example form built with Formik that contains a single "Accept Terms & Conditions" checkbox field that is required.
The checkbox is set to required with the schema rule acceptTerms: Yup.bool().oneOf([true], 'Accept Terms & Conditions is required') and by setting the initial value acceptTerms: false inside initialValues.
import React from 'react';
import { Formik, Field, Form, ErrorMessage } from 'formik';
import * as Yup from 'yup';
class App extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
<Formik
initialValues={{
acceptTerms: false
}}
validationSchema={Yup.object().shape({
acceptTerms: Yup.bool().oneOf([true], 'Accept Terms & Conditions is required')
})}
onSubmit={fields => {
alert('SUCCESS!! :-)\n\n' + JSON.stringify(fields, null, 4))
}}
>
{({ errors, status, touched }) => (
<Form>
<div className="form-group form-check">
<Field type="checkbox" name="acceptTerms" className={'form-check-input ' + (errors.acceptTerms && touched.acceptTerms ? ' is-invalid' : '')} />
<label htmlFor="acceptTerms" className="form-check-label">Accept Terms & Conditions</label>
<ErrorMessage name="acceptTerms" component="div" className="invalid-feedback" />
</div>
<div className="form-group">
<button type="submit" className="btn btn-primary mr-2">Submit</button>
<button type="reset" className="btn btn-secondary">Reset</button>
</div>
</Form>
)}
</Formik>
)
}
}
export { App };
