Web Forms with React : Build Robust and Scalable Forms with React Hook Form

Set up web forms from scratch using the most popular React form library in use today, React Hook Form. This book is a succinct and practical guide to building robust, scalable and reusable forms. From social media and YouTube video posts, to product listings on e-commerce sites, most information on the web is entered through forms. In this book, you’ll learn how to properly handle forms in React, how to scale them, and how to handle validations, etc.

There are many ways to handle forms in React so it’s good practice to have a standard in place. This book will show you how to do so. Once in place, you’ll be able to code powerful, bug-free forms. Additionally, the book highlights the important role React Hook Form plays in scalability when designing forms. You’ll look at how to handle recurring features, such as password fields and profile sections so they can be easily reused across the applications where they are required. Validations are also crucial in building forms.

You’ll also see how React Hook Form provides a nice interface for hooking up validations by using either standard native validations or by using a third-party validation library like Yup or Zod. When completed, Web Forms with React will provide you the knowledge and confidence to build strong, and reusable web forms in React from the ground up.
