I have a redux form with a submit button and a normal html button. I dont want the form to be validated when the normal button is pressed. But looks like the form is always validated once and then when I click the button again the onclick on the button is executed. How do I prevent this?
I replicated the same issue with same form. For example if you go to http://redux-form.com/6.4.3/examples/syncValidation/ ,enter 4 in the age field and click on clear values. First time the validation triggers and stops the button action. Second time the button action works i.e, the form values are cleared..
The example you link to has that behavior because by default Redux Form will call the validation function for touched Fields on a blur event. The fact that you are clicking a button is irrelevant - you could click on any element or anywhere on the page and you would get that behavior.
The only real way to stop this behavior is to stop Redux Form from touching your Fields on a blur event. You can do this by setting touchOnBlur to false in the Redux Form config object.
export default reduxForm({ form: 'myForm', touchOnBlur: false })(MyForm);
Please Add type="button" to prevent the button from submitting the form.If you don't give any type it will consider submit.
