Custom widget access to form Data about react-jsonschema-form HOT 6 OPEN

Any ideas on this? I'm blocked from using this awesome library because of it

from react-jsonschema-form.

The widget has access to the formData at its current level (in your example the widget will get the value for name) via the value prop. Is there a reason why you need access to all of the formData within a single widget?

@zzph I'm wondering if the "freezing" of the form you are seeing is a situation where your the state change causes a rerender infinite loop. Theoretically, you should be able to put anything into the formContext. Have you debugged why you things are freezing?

from react-jsonschema-form.

Yes I've debugged, and it does seem like you're saying- it re-renders the entire component everytime 'formContext' changes. So this is an issue.

Can you suggest a work around?

from react-jsonschema-form.

Maybe you can process the formData on change in a way that you transform what you put into the formContext is only what you need to provide the auto-suggest? Meaning if your component looks at the value of age to auto-suggest the value of name (from your example), perhaps precompute the suggestion OUTSIDE of the component and pass in the suggestion rather than the formData in the formContext?
