This form component maintains it's own state internally. It is | |
intialized with an initState prop passed from the parent. | |
</p> | |
<p style={{ width: "100%", textAlign: "left" }}> | |
Init state values passed to useReducer / useState only affect the state | |
value returned from the hook on component mount. | |
</p> | |
<p style={{ width: "100%", textAlign: "left" }}> | |
<em>Unless...</em> | |
</p> | |
<p style={{ width: "100%", textAlign: "left" }}> | |
You change the <em>key</em> applied to the component as well. | |
</p> | |
<p style={{ width: "100%", textAlign: "left" }}> | |
This could allow us to remove data fetching logic entirely from forms | |
that need to be initialized with preset values from the server. | |
