What is 'pristine' and 'submitting' in reduxForm?

I was going through a simple piece of code in reduxForm. What is pristine and submitting? What is the purpose of these?

Solution

  • pristine means that no fields in the form have been modified yet. It is documented in "props" section in Redux Form documentation.

    There is also a similar terminology in Angular. You can find some details here or here.

    submitting, as the name suggests, means that the form is in process of submitting (see: documentation).

    Their typical usage is to disable the "submit" button in case when one of them is true.
