react formik disable submit button with form validity

Question

I am using formik library for my react project. I need to disable submit button initially when mandatory fields are empty or have any errors. I checked form status using below code.

const formik = useFormik(false);

        <Formik
        initialValues={!location.state ? InvoiceInitalValues : location.state}
        validationSchema={POValidation} innerRef={formRef}
        onSubmit={(form, actions, formikHelper) => {
          console.log(form);
          console.log(formRef);
          setTimeout(() => {
            saveInvoice(form, actions, formikHelper);
            actions.setSubmitting(false);
          }, 1000);
        }}
      >
        {({
          handleSubmit,
          handleChange,
          setFieldValue,
          values,
          handleReset,
          errors,
          resetForm, isSubmitting


        })

I console logged form status using but form is always 'isValid: True'. Please check below image.

I printed it in the html also. but always isValid is True. I need to this for disable my button

printed status

 <p> {formik.isValid=== true ? "True" : "False"} </p>

I tried below code to disable my button

<Button className="btn btn-primary mr-1" type="submit" disabled={!formik.isValid}>

Submit

Why formik form validity is always true, even mandatory fields are empty. I spent more time to solve this. still could not fix this. Anyone know to fix this

You created form using Formik component, but you are checking isValid on another formik instance created through useFormik hook. That's not right.

You should use either <Formik> or useFormik.

As you have written code using Formik component. Here is how you access isValid property:

<Formik
  initialValues={!location.state ? InvoiceInitalValues : location.state}
  // ...
>
  {({
    values,
    handleChange,
    // ... 
    isValid // HERE
  }) => (
    <form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
      <input
...
