Handling Forms

Handling forms can be complex due to challenges with state management and validation. To simplify this process, two popular libraries are often used:

Formik

A comprehensive library for building forms in React and TypeScript. Formik is straightforward, well-documented, and handles form state, validation, and errors efficiently. It’s ideal for complex forms with multiple fields, nested properties, and arrays. However, it may add some weight to your bundle size.

• Best for complex forms needing comprehensive state management and validation. It offers a richer developer experience but may slightly increase the bundle size.

React Hook Form

A performant library that uses React hooks to simplify form validation. It’s lightweight, easy to use, and results in less re-rendering, making it particularly suitable for forms with many fields. React Hook Form is a great choice when performance and bundle size are key considerations.

• Ideal for projects where performance and smaller package size are priorities. It efficiently handles forms with many fields by minimizing re-renders.

Both libraries provide a balance between features, developer experience, and performance, making them suitable for a wide range of scenarios.
