Formik's Validation Schema As A Function

The most straightforward way to use Formik's validationSchema is to provide it with a Yup object defining your form's validations.

const MyComponent = withFormik({
  // ...

  validationSchema: yup.object().shape({
    email: yup.string().required(),
    feedback: yup.string().required(),
  }),
  
  // ...
})(MyForm);

There may be a point at which you need access to the props being passed to MyComponent in order to construct the proper set of validations. Formik supports this by allowing validationSchema to be a function.

const MyComponent = withFormik({
  // ...

  validationSchema: (props) => {
    let emailSchema;
    if(props.allowAnonymous) {
      emailSchema = yup.string();
    } else {
      emailSchema = yup.string().required();
    }

    return yup.object().shape({
      email: emailSchema,
      feedback: yup.string().required(),
    });
  },
  
  // ...
})(MyForm);

When validationSchema is a function, its first argument is the set of props passed to that component.
