Can I use an array of strings as a list in use-form?

What is use-form list?

use-form supports nested values in array format. There are handlers available to add, remove, and reorder items in the list:

form.removeListItem – removes a list item at the given index
form.insertListItem – inserts a list item at the given index (appends the item to the end of the list if index is not specified)
form.reorderListItem – reorders a list item with the given position at the specified field

Example of using form lists:

import { TrashIcon } from '@phosphor-icons/react';
import {
  ActionIcon,
  Box,
  Button,
  Group,
  Switch,
  Text,
  TextInput,
} from '@mantine/core';
import { useForm } from '@mantine/form';
import { randomId } from '@mantine/hooks';

function Demo() {
  const form = useForm({
    mode: 'uncontrolled',
    initialValues: {
      employees: [{ name: '', active: false, key: randomId() }],
    },
  });

  const fields = form.getValues().employees.map((item, index) => (
    <Group key={item.key} mt="xs">
      <TextInput
        placeholder="John Doe"
        withAsterisk
        style={{ flex: 1 }}
        key={form.key(`employees.${index}.name`)}
        {...form.getInputProps(`employees.${index}.name`)}
      />
      <Switch
        label="Active"
        key={form.key(`employees.${index}.active`)}
        {...form.getInputProps(`employees.${index}.active`, {
          type: 'checkbox',
        })}
      />
      <ActionIcon
        color="red"
        onClick={() => form.removeListItem('employees', index)}
      >
        <TrashIcon size="1rem" />
      </ActionIcon>
    </Group>
  ));

  return (
    <Box maw={500} mx="auto">
      {fields.length > 0 ? (
        <Group mb="xs">
          <Text fw={500} size="sm" style={{ flex: 1 }}>
            Name
          </Text>
          <Text fw={500} size="sm" pr={90}>
            Status
          </Text>
        </Group>
      ) : (
        <Text c="dimmed" ta="center">
          No one here...
        </Text>
      )}

      {fields}

      <Group justify="center" mt="md">
        <Button
          onClick={() =>
            form.insertListItem('employees', {
              name: '',
              active: false,
              key: randomId(),
            })
          }
        >
          Add employee
        </Button>
      </Group>
    </Box>
  );
}

Form lists limitation

use-form lists are designed to work with objects; any other values are not supported. This limitation is implemented on purpose to avoid confusing form lists with arrays of other types of values.
