I have a MUI Autocomplete inside a form from react hook form that works fine while filling the form, but when I want to show the form filled with fetched data, the MUI Autocomplete only displays the selected option after two renders.
I think it's something with useEffect and reset (from react hook form), because the Autocompletes whose options are static works fine, but the ones that I also have to fetch the options from my API only works properly after the second time the useEffect runs.
I can't reproduce a codesandbox because it's a large project that consumes a real api, but I can provide more information if needed. Thanks in advance if someone can help me with this.
The page where I choose an item to visualize inside the form:
const People: React.FC = () => {
const [show, setShow] = useState(false);
const [modalData, setModalData] = useState<PeopleProps>({} as PeopleProps);
async function showCustomer(id: string) {
await api
.get(`people/${id}`)
.then((response) => {
setModalData(response.data);
setShow(true);
})
.catch((error) => toast.error('Error')
)
}
return (
<>
{...} // there's a table here with items that onClick will fire showCustomer()
<Modal
data={modalData}
visible={show}
/>
</>
);
};
My form inside the Modal:
const Modal: React.FC<ModalProps> = ({data, visible}) => {
const [situations, setSituations] = useState<Options[]>([]);
const methods = useForm<PeopleProps>({defaultValues: data});
const {reset} = methods;
/* FETCH POSSIBLE SITUATIONS FROM API*/
useEffect(() => {
api
.get('situations')
.then((situation) => setSituations(situation.data.data))
.catch((error) => toast.error('Error'));
}, [visible]);
/* RESET FORM TO POPULATE WITH FETCHED DATA */
useEffect(() => reset(data), [visible]);
return (
<Dialog open={visible}>
<FormProvider {...methods}>
<DialogContent>
<ComboBox
name="situation_id"
label="Situação"
options={situations.map((item) => ({
id: item.id,
text: item.description
}))}
/>
</DialogContent>
</FormProvider>
</Dialog>
);
};
export default Modal;
ComboBox component:
const ComboBox: React.FC<ComboProps> = ({name, options, ...props}) => {
const {control, getValues} = useFormContext();
return (
<Controller
name={`${name}`}
control={control}
render={(props) => (
<Autocomplete
{...props}
options={options}
getOptionLabel={(option) => option.text}
getOptionSelected={(option, value) => option.id === value.id}
defaultValue={options.find(
(item) => item.id === getValues(`${name}`)
)}
renderInput={(params) => (
<TextField
variant="outlined"
{...props}
{...params}
/>
)}
onChange={(event, data) => {
props.field.onChange(data?.id);
}}
/>
)}
/>
);
};
export default ComboBox;
