How do I load default values from a database? #36

Closed dk253 closed 3 years ago

dk253 commented 3 years ago

Please forgive me if this is obvious, but I cannot figure it out.

I'm using a hook to grab a user's profile from a database and I'd like to prefill the form from the returned data. How do I load that data into the form for the user to change?

Thanks for this, BTW... Great library.

You can use the defaultValues param in useForm hook and pass in the data there if you have the data before loading of the form, but i guess in your case you are getting data after the loading of the form you can use reset method and pass the values in it.

const {reset} = useForm();

Thank you so much for your response! I think I solved it a different way. I'm using the "setValue" function from react-hook-form. I was just about to add this to this issue. Thanks for your patience!
