Form validation in Svelte

Forms are essential for web user interaction, and managing them involves tracking user input, validation, and submission. This article explores form handling in Svelte, focusing on input bindings, form validation with the Yup library, and using svelte-forms-lib for easier form management. It demonstrates how Svelte's directives like on:input and bind:value can track input values and explains how Yup can validate form data against a schema, ensuring data integrity before submission. The integration of svelte-forms-lib simplifies form creation and management by providing helper functions and custom components that reduce boilerplate code. The article walks through setting up a sample profile form, validating it, and displaying errors using these tools, highlighting how svelte-forms-lib can be configured for custom validation or used in conjunction with Yup for schema-based validation. These techniques, along with the use of custom components like Form, Field, Select, and ErrorMessage in svelte-forms-lib, make form creation in Svelte more efficient and less error-prone.
