How to validate forms in Remix
Blog post from LogRocket
Remix offers a streamlined approach to handling forms by eliminating the need for client-side form state management and event listeners typical in React applications, instead reverting to a more traditional server-side processing model akin to PHP. It provides a custom Form component that mirrors HTML's native form behavior, utilizing fetch for server interactions, which simplifies the process by reducing the browser's load without needing additional JavaScript for form submissions. Remix also supports custom validation through functions and libraries like Remix Validated Form (RVF), which is adaptable to various validation libraries such as Yup and Zod. This approach not only allows for straightforward validation logic but also enhances user experience by validating forms more efficiently, maintaining simplicity and reducing coding complexity. The use of RVF enables developers to build forms with built-in validation utilities, enhancing the reliability and functionality of web applications.
