Set up web forms from scratch using one of the most popular frontend frameworks in use today, React Hook Form. Forms are an integral part of any software and are the source of data entered on the web. This book is a succinct and practical guide to building robust, scalable and reusable forms in React.
From social media and YouTube video posts to selling products on e-commerce sites, most information on the web is entered through forms. As such, you'll learn how to properly handle forms in React, how to scale them, and how to exercise validations, etc. You will also see that best-practices require that appropriate standards be instituted to ensure that proper regulated processes are followed. Once in place, you'll be able to code robust, bug-free forms, and easily adjust them if the need arises.
Additionally, the book highlights the importance React Hook Form plays in scalability when designing software features such as a server function or a user interface component. You'll then look at how to handle recurring features, such as password fields and profile sections so they can be easily reused across the application where it is required. Validations are always important whether on the server-side or client-side. You'll examine how React Hook Form provides a nice interface for hooking up validations by using either standard HTML Validation or by using a third-party validation library like Yup or Zod. When completed, Web Forms with React will provide you with the knowledge and confidence to build strong, and reusable web forms from the ground up.
