SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Build robust, type-safe forms in React by unifying client and server validation with React Hook Form and Zod schemas, enabling full TypeScript type inference across the stack.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Unified validation: One Zod schema drives client-side and (when applicable) server-side validation for forms with predictable types.
  • Multi-step and dynamic fields: Supports wizards, dynamic arrays, and complex nested structures via useFieldArray and Zod refinements.
  • DX-focused patterns: Clear examples for useForm, Controller, and zodResolver integration, plus accessible error handling and TypeScript inference.

Quick Start

Install the necessary packages and create a form component that uses useForm with zodResolver(schema) and register inputs to enable type-safe validation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build type-safe React forms with Zod validation?

Use React Hook Form with zodResolver and a Zod schema to enforce type-safe form validation. This approach applies z.infer for TypeScript inference, maintaining strict parity between client and server validation.

What is the best way to unify client and server validation in TypeScript?

Defining a single Zod schema unifies client and server validation in TypeScript. This schema drives React Hook Form on the frontend and validates backend data, guaranteeing predictable types across the stack.

Can I use React Hook Form with Zod for multi-step wizards and dynamic fields?

Yes, React Hook Form combined with Zod supports multi-step wizards and dynamic fields. Manage complex nested structures and dynamic arrays using useFieldArray alongside Zod refinements for robust validation.

Does zodResolver maintain TypeScript type inference for form inputs?

Yes, zodResolver maintains TypeScript type inference by deriving form input types directly from the Zod schema using z.infer. Registered inputs and submitted data strictly match the validation rules.

Why does my React Hook Form schema validation not match my TypeScript types?

Schema validation and TypeScript types mismatch when defined separately. Using zodResolver with a Zod schema and z.infer resolves this by generating form types directly from the validation rules.
