Build powerful React forms with Informed
Blog post from LogRocket
Forms are a crucial aspect of web development, especially when collecting and processing user inputs on servers. The Informed library offers a lightweight, versatile framework for building forms within React applications, providing a comprehensive set of tools, including opinionated form UI components, state management, and utilities for formatting, masking, and debugging. The library supports various form validation techniques, ranging from simple required fields to complex schema validation with Yup. It allows for easy management of form state and conditional rendering through the useFormState hook and Relevant component. Additionally, Informed simplifies data organization with its Scope component, facilitating the nesting of related values within a form state. Compared to other popular form libraries like Formik and React Hook Form, Informed distinguishes itself with features such as explicit input formatting, a special Debug component, and dynamic form capabilities, making it a promising choice for developers seeking a robust form management solution in React.
