Question : Parent component to access children form state

[raphaelnoguier]

Hello @logaretm !

Thanks for this amazing package. I've just upgraded to v4 and i have this use case

<parent-component>
  <child-form-1 />
  <child-form-2 />
  ...
</parent-component>

How can my parent-component get access to all errors and the validate function of each child form ?

I have a global submit button on my parent component and i want this button to trigger validation inside each children component.

Is there anything to solve that kind of scenario ?

(I've seen an another issue mentionning inject(FormContextKey) but I couldn't get it to work...

Thanks again :)

Hey, so inject(FormContextKey) works for the other way around. You getting the parent state in a child.

So far there isn't a way to do the opposite, but I'm having second thoughts about this limitation. For now, you can try looking for aggregating form state issues/examples because it is similar to this one.
