SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Complex form validation and type-safety across client and server, enabling consistent schema-driven validation with a single source of truth.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Unified schema validation for client and server with Zod and React Hook Form via zodResolver.
  • Supports dynamic fields and multi-step forms with useFieldArray and Controller.
  • Real-world use: build enterprise-grade forms with strong type inference, robust error handling, and cross-environment validation in React apps.

Quick Start

Install react-hook-form, zod, and @hookform/resolvers, and start wiring a single Zod-based schema for client and server validation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I share form validation logic between client and server in React?

You can achieve shared schema validation across client and server by defining a single Zod schema and integrating it with React Hook Form via zodResolver, ensuring consistent rules and strong type inference in both environments.

What is the best way to validate multi-step forms with TypeScript?

Validating multi-step forms with TypeScript is best handled by using React Hook Form with a shared Zod schema, leveraging useFieldArray and Controller for dynamic fields while maintaining strong type inference across each step.

Does React Hook Form work with Zod for schema-driven validation?

Yes, React Hook Form works with Zod through the @hookform/resolvers package, applying zodResolver to wire a Zod schema directly into the form for real-time schema-driven validation and robust error handling.

How do I handle dynamic fields and complex arrays in React Hook Form?

You handle dynamic fields and complex arrays in React Hook Form by using the Controller and useFieldArray components, binding them to a Zod schema to maintain type safety and validation for rapidly changing form structures.

Can I use Zod refinements for custom validation rules in React forms?

Yes, you can use Zod refinements for custom validation rules in React forms by defining them within your Zod schema; the zodResolver integration ensures these custom cross-field rules are executed during form validation.

Why do I need a shared schema for cross-environment form validation?

You need a shared schema for cross-environment form validation to maintain a single source of truth, eliminating rule duplication and ensuring data entering the server matches the TypeScript types validated on the client.
