[0.6.x] Typescript return type for React Inertia useForm()

[joelstein]

The React Inertia useForm() hook is typed to return any, but we can improve this by returning Form<Data>, similar to the React Vue plugin.

However, there's no types.ts file in the react-inertia package, though the file exists in the vue-inertia package.

I copied the types.ts file from vue-inertia, modified it with the correct imports, and updated the useForm() return type.

Drafting pending review from @timacdonald

Would it be possible to review this soon? Many thanks.

[joelstein]

I just realized that Inertia wasn't exporting the form props for React. I submitted a pull request to fix that, after which this pull request will work.

@joelstein, just a heads up that PR is to your personal repository and not the official Inertia project.

[timacdonald]

I'll be taking a look at this one soon.

[joelstein]

Good catch! 🤦‍♂️

Here you go: inertiajs/inertia#2166

[timacdonald]

I believe the required Inertia PR should be released this week. After that I'll start taking a closer look at this one and see if we can get it shipped.

[joelstein]

Perfect, thanks!

[timacdonald]

@joelstein, quick update here: I've gotten this one up to date with the latest type changes across the project.

Next I'll do a once over to make sure our types are consistent across implementations and then this one should be ready to go.

[joelstein]

Bless you, good sir!
