Issue with form contact and Hooks

Support
,
1

I am the maintainer of a gatsby starter gatsby-starter-i18n-bulma. It has a form to send an email message, recently i tried to “improve the code” transforming the code in a more modular way. I wanted to try to transform part of it into a functional component to be able to use Hooks. I was able to change the code, and the build was ok on the Netlify server, but when i try to test the form, i receive only empty mesages :sob:. What could be? Can you give me some advice? Does anybody tried this?

The contact form is in a template and the form contact itself is implemented in the ContactForm component.

Thank you in advance! :grinning:

Sounds like you may have trimmed a bit too much fat from the code here!

You’ll want to check out out forms debugging guide. I’ve linked to it below and it covers all of the common gotchas.

Hey @kalwalt :wave:t2:

Welcome to The Community :slight_smile:

For what it’s worth, I created a drop-in NPM package for integrating Netlify Forms into React-based SSGs (Next and Gatsby, really) that ‘just works’ - feel free to take a look through the source and see if your code matches up. Getting Forms to work just right can be tricky.

I also wrote a 2-pt series that goes through all the little nits and crannies :slight_smile:

Hopefully those help! If you run into any snags, let us know and we’ll be happy to help!

Thank you @jonsully I will look at for sure :grinning:! But my form worked before. Probably some bad errors with hooks :smirk: :roll_eyes:

No problem! The source in that repo does use hooks (I pretty much only use hooks these days) so it may help!

I reverted to the old code for now, but in a near future i will use your plugin. Thank you! :grinning:
