How to dynamically set a required rule to the Form.Item validation

Question

I have a list of parameters that may be checked or not. Its correspondent fields are enabled/disabled in dependence of checkbox state. So I want to enable and validate field if parameter is checked, and disable field and turn off validation rule while checkbox is unchecked. But I can't switch required rule to false while toggling checkbox.

As you see the registrations parameter is unchecked but the field still have a validation..

Here is how I've done it:

<Row key={index} gutter={8}>
  <Col span={6} offset={4}>
    <Form.Item help="">
      <Checkbox
        checked={attribute.isActive}
        disabled={isViewMode}
        onChange={this.handleChangeAttributeActive(attribute.eventId)}
        value={attribute.name}
      >
        {attribute.name}
      </Checkbox>
    </Form.Item>
  </Col>
  <Col span={8}>
    <Form.Item help="">
      {getFieldDecorator(`${attribute.name}`, {
        initialValue: attribute.attributeSendName,
        rules: [{ required: attribute.isActive }],
      })(
        <Input
          disabled={isViewMode || !attribute.isActive}
        />
      )}
    </Form.Item>
  </Col>
</Row>

attributes is an array of parameters that stores in component state. Checkbox handler just switch to opposite isActive property

Can you please help? Thank

validateFields() accepts two arguments. You should provide {force: true} as the second argument to validate the field properly.

handleChangeAttributeActive = e => {
    this.setState(
      prevState => ({
        ...prevState,
        attribute: { ...prevState.attribute, isActive: e.target.checked }
      }),
      () => {
        this.props.form.validateFields([e.target.value], { force: true });
      }
    );
  };

validateFields validates the specified fields and get their values and errors. If you don't specify the parameter of fieldNames, you will validate all fields.

import { Row, Col, Checkbox, Form, Input } from "antd";

class App extends Component {
  state = {
    attribute: {
      name: "name",
      isActive: true,
      eventId: 1,
      attributeSendName: "enter your name"
    },
    isViewMode: false
  };

  handleChangeAttributeActive = e => {
    this.setState(
      prevState => ({
        ...prevState,
        attribute: { ...prevState.attribute, isActive: e.target.checked }
      }),
      () => {
        this.props.form.validateFields([e.target.value], { force: true });
      }
    );
  };

  render() {
    const { getFieldDecorator } = this.props.form;
    const { attribute, isViewMode } = this.state;
    const index = 0;
    return (
      <div className="App">
        <Row key={index} gutter={8}>
          <Col span={6} offset={4}>
            <Form.Item help="">
              <Checkbox
                checked={attribute.isActive}
                disabled={isViewMode}
                onChange={this.handleChangeAttributeActive}
                value={attribute.name}
              >
                {attribute.name}
              </Checkbox>
            </Form.Item>
          </Col>
          <Col span={8}>
            <Form.Item help="">
              {getFieldDecorator(`${attribute.name}`, {
                message: attribute.attributeSendName,
                rules: [{ required: attribute.isActive }]
              })(<Input />)}
            </Form.Item>
          </Col>
        </Row>
      </div>
    );
  }
}

const WrappedApp = Form.create()(App);

const rootElement = document.getElementById("root");
ReactDOM.render(<WrappedApp />, rootElement);

Change this code as per your need.
