useFieldErrorMessage()

Allows you to get and set error messages for any field.

This hook is commonly used when creating custom error message components that display more than a single error message.

Props

Props in

Prop Name	Description
name	The base field name without a /.

Props out

Prop Name	Description
errorMessages	Array of error message strings. When changed, this value is updated.
setErrorMessages	Function which sets error messages for this field.

When to use?

At the moment, OneForm doesn't allow you to render or not render a field based on its error messages. So for now, this hook is required for those use cases.

Displaying multiple error messages

Another common use case would be creating your own <FieldErrorMessages /> component which displays more than a single field error.

OneForm doesn't natively have a component for this because it has no clue how to style your error messages. For example, the <FieldErrorMessage /> component only returns text.
