Step 1: Install React App

In our first step, we need to download react js fresh app using bellow command, if you didn't install yet then.

npx create-react-app my-app

Step 2: Create DemoForm Component

In this step, we will create DemoForm.js component file and we will write code of form validation. so let's add code as bellow:

src/DemoForm.js

import React from 'react';
class DemoForm extends React.Component {
    constructor() {
    super();
    this.state = {
      input: {},
      errors: {}
    };
    this.handleChange = this.handleChange.bind(this);
    this.handleSubmit = this.handleSubmit.bind(this);
  } 
  handleChange(event) {
    let input = this.state.input;
    input[event.target.name] = event.target.value;
	this.setState({
      input
    });
  }
  handleSubmit(event) {
    event.preventDefault();
    if(this.validate()){
        console.log(this.state);
        let input = {};
        input["name"] = "";
        input["email"] = "";
        input["password"] = "";
        input["confirm_password"] = "";
        this.setState({input:input});
        alert('Demo Form is submited');
    }
  }
  validate(){
      let input = this.state.input;
      let errors = {};
      let isValid = true;
      if (!input["name"]) {
        isValid = false;
        errors["name"] = "Please enter your name.";
      }
      if (!input["email"]) {
        isValid = false;
        errors["email"] = "Please enter your email Address.";
      }
      if (typeof input["email"] !== "undefined") {
        var pattern = new RegExp(/^(("[\w-\s]+")|([\w-]+(?:\.[\w-]+)*)|("[\w-\s]+")([\w-]+(?:\.[\w-]+)*))(@((?:[\w-]+\.)*\w[\w-]{0,66})\.([a-z]{2,6}(?:\.[a-z]{2})?)$)|(@\[?((25[0-5]\.|2[0-4][0-9]\.|1[0-9]{2}\.|[0-9]{1,2}\.))((25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|1[0-9]{2}|[0-9]{1,2})\.){2}(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|1[0-9]{2}|[0-9]{1,2})\]?$)/i);
        if (!pattern.test(input["email"])) {
          isValid = false;
          errors["email"] = "Please enter valid email address.";
        }
      }
      if (!input["password"]) {
        isValid = false;
        errors["password"] = "Please enter your password.";
      }
      if (!input["confirm_password"]) {
        isValid = false;
        errors["confirm_password"] = "Please enter your confirm password.";
      }
      if (typeof input["password"] !== "undefined" && typeof input["confirm_password"] !== "undefined") {
        if (input["password"] != input["confirm_password"]) {
          isValid = false;
          errors["password"] = "Passwords don't match.";
        }
      } 
      this.setState({
        errors: errors
      });
      return isValid;
  }  
  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <h1>React Password and Confirm Password Validation Example - codewale.com</h1>
        <form onSubmit={this.handleSubmit}>
          <div class="form-group">
            <label for="name">Name:</label>
            <input 
              type="text" 
              name="name" 
              value={this.state.input.name}
              onChange={this.handleChange}
              class="form-control" 
              placeholder="Enter name" 
              id="name" />
              <div className="text-danger">{this.state.errors.name}</div>
          </div>
          <div class="form-group">
            <label for="email">Email Address:</label>
            <input 
              type="text" 
              name="email" 
              value={this.state.input.email}
              onChange={this.handleChange}
              class="form-control" 
              placeholder="Enter email" 
              id="email" />
              <div className="text-danger">{this.state.errors.email}</div>
          </div>
          <div class="form-group">
            <label for="password">Password:</label>
            <input 
              type="password" 
              name="password" 
              value={this.state.input.password}
              onChange={this.handleChange}
              class="form-control" 
              placeholder="Enter password" 
              id="password" />
              <div className="text-danger">{this.state.errors.password}</div>
          </div>
          <div class="form-group">
            <label for="password">Confirm Password:</label>
            <input 
              type="password" 
              name="confirm_password" 
              value={this.state.input.confirm_password}
              onChange={this.handleChange}
              class="form-control" 
              placeholder="Enter confirm password" 
              id="confirm_password" />
              <div className="text-danger">{this.state.errors.confirm_password}</div>
          </div>
          <input type="submit" value="Submit" class="btn btn-success" />
        </form>
      </div>
    );
  }
}
export default DemoForm;

Step 3: Import Component

In this step, we will import DemoFormcomponent in index.js main file. so let's update index.js file as bellow:

src/index.js

import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import * as serviceWorker from './serviceWorker';
import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css';
import DemoForm from './DemoForm';
ReactDOM.render(
  <React.StrictMode>
    <div className="container">
       <DemoForm />
    </div>
  </React.StrictMode>,
  document.getElementById('root')
);
serviceWorker.unregister();

Now we are ready to run our application, so let's run using bellow command:

npm start

Open bellow url:

http://localhost:3000

I hope it can help you...
