Ant design date and time pickers do not pass value through Formik (react)

Question

I'm currently working on a booking form which is in React using Formik. I've also incorporated Ant Design's Date Picker and Time Picker for the booking date and time respectively, but I'm having difficulties getting the values to be passed back to the component.

Here is how I've set it up in the form component (I've omitted the other unrelated fields):

const { booking, handleSubmit, mode } = this.props;

...

<Formik
    initialValues={booking}
    onSubmit={handleSubmit}
    render={({errors, touched, isSubmitting}) => (
        <Form>
        ...
<div className="form-group col-sm-4 col-md-6 col-lg-4">
    <label htmlFor="booking_date">
        Booking Date <span className="required">*</span>
    </label>
    <DatePicker onChange={ (date, dateString) => setFieldValue('booking_date', dateString)} defaultValue={this.state.bookingDate}
        className="form-control" format={this.state.dateFormat} />
</div>
<div className="form-group col-sm-4 col-md-6 col-lg-4">
    <label htmlFor="start_time">
        Start Time <span className="required">*</span>
    </label>
    <TimePicker
        defaultValue={this.state.startTime}
        format={this.state.timeFormat}
        className="form-control"
        onChange={this.handleStartTimeChange}
        minuteStep={5}
        id="start_time"
        name="start_time"
    />
</div>

This is the function that handles the time change (just a state set):

handleStartTimeChange(time) {
    this.setState({
        startTime: time
    });
}

And then on the parent, the component is set up like so:

<BookingForm
    show={true}
    booking={null}
    handleSubmit={this.saveBooking.bind(this)}
    mode="add"
/>

And the saveBooking function simply console logs the params out. However, it only ever logs out the other fields such as firstname, surname and email. The dates are completely overlooked and I don't know how to be able to get the form to recognise them - I even tried creating a Formik hidden field to replicate the date value when submit but it still ignores it. The field name and ID are correct, and correlate with the database as do all the others - so I don't understand why it won't read that data?

Put simply, you'll need to utilize Ant Design's Form.Item inside of a Formik Field's component prop.

You'll be able to add other Antd form items as well, however, there are a few quirks. As such, I'd only recommend using one or the other (not both).

Working example: https://codesandbox.io/s/4x47oznvvx

components/AntFields.js (the reason behind creating two different onChange functions is because one of the ant components passes back an event (event.target.value) while the other passes back a value -- unfortunately, a quirk when using Formik with Antd)

import map from "lodash/map";
import React from "react";
import { DatePicker, Form, Input, TimePicker, Select } from "antd";

const FormItem = Form.Item;
const { Option } = Select;

const CreateAntField = Component => ({
  field,
  form,
  hasFeedback,
  label,
  selectOptions,
  submitCount,
  type,
  ...props
}) => {
  const touched = form.touched[field.name];
  const submitted = submitCount > 0;
  const hasError = form.errors[field.name];
  const submittedError = hasError && submitted;
  const touchedError = hasError && touched;
  const onInputChange = ({ target: { value } }) =>
    form.setFieldValue(field.name, value);
  const onChange = value => form.setFieldValue(field.name, value);
  const onBlur = () => form.setFieldTouched(field.name, true);
  return (
    <div className="field-container">
      <FormItem
        label={label}
        hasFeedback={
          (hasFeedback && submitted) || (hasFeedback && touched) ? true : false
        }
        help={submittedError || touchedError ? hasError : false}
        validateStatus={submittedError || touchedError ? "error" : "success"}
      >
        <Component
          {...field}
          {...props}
          onBlur={onBlur}
          onChange={type ? onInputChange : onChange}
        >
          {selectOptions &&
            map(selectOptions, name => <Option key={name}>{name}</Option>)}
        </Component>
      </FormItem>
    </div>
  );
};

export const AntSelect = CreateAntField(Select);
export const AntDatePicker = CreateAntField(DatePicker);
export const AntInput = CreateAntField(Input);
export const AntTimePicker = CreateAntField(TimePicker);

components/FieldFormats.js

export const dateFormat = "MM-DD-YYYY";
export const timeFormat = "HH:mm";

import moment from "moment";

    errors = "Required!";
  } else if (
    moment(value).format(dateFormat) < moment(Date.now()).format(dateFormat)
  ) {
    errors = "Invalid date!";
  }

  return errors;
};

export const validateEmail = value => {
  let errors;

  if (!value) {
    errors = "Required!";
  } else if (!/^\w+([.-]?\w+)*@\w+([.-]?\w+)*(\.\w{2,3})+$/.test(value)) {
    errors = "Invalid email address!";
  }

  return errors;
};

export const isRequired = value => (!value ? "Required!" : "");
