I get a TypeError on the
<Form> component. I don't know what should I use to define the handleSubmitfunction's e? Sorry, I'm new to NextJS's <Form>.Answered by Asian black bear
Use a normal
form element then. The new next/form is only for very specific use-cases, not really one where you pass a client-side handler.14 Replies

Ctrl + Left Click on

I did use that feature. But anything I changed to seem invalid to the attribute.
I have no idea about this actually.

Even hovering over it shows it clearly - you can see it's a function that takes
FormData.@Asian black bear Even hovering over it shows it clearly - you can see it's a function that takes `FormData`.

But if I changed it to
<FormData>, I can’t use e.target.value. Any suggestion?Asian black bear

It is designed to be a lightweight form element or one that takes a server action and makes it progressively enhanced etc.
If you run client-side code, none of that matters.

So my use case isn’t making any sense to the
<Form>’s rule and design?Asian black bear
If you can't make use of progressive enhancement, prefetching etc. then no.

Well then, thanks for helping me. I'm using the
form instead as you advise me to, and it just works fine as usual.
