Hi,
As my title says, "How can I create a Kendo Form that checks its content and then auto-submits when the its complete?"
I thought I could use the form validator to check the fields and then execute a submit if they are all valid, but then that executes every time a form element changes, and I dont want to submit before the user is done even typing their name.
Its like I need an onBlur of the form, the only equivalent is to run a check onBlur of each field. I've been messing around with trying to send the form to the blur function to check each field, but I haven't had success.
Is there a better way?
Thanks,
Grant

Hello Grant,
You can for example create custom component which to look for the Form `valid` and `touched` render props. These props indicate that the Form fields are touched by the user and are valid. If both props are `true` than you can submit the form:
const AutoSubmitter = formRenderProps => {
const isSubmittedRef = React.useRef(false);
React.useEffect(() => {
const { valid, touched, onSubmit } = formRenderProps;
if (valid && touched && !isSubmittedRef.current) {
isSubmittedRef.current = true;
onSubmit();
}
});
return [];
Please check the full example below:
