FAQPage Schema

How do I build type-safe forms in React with validation?▼

Type-safe forms in React combine React Hook Form with Zod to create a single schema that validates on both client and server. Define your validation rules in Zod, use zodResolver to connect it to React Hook Form, and TypeScript automatically infers your form's shape, preventing mismatches between schema and UI.

What's the best way to handle form validation errors in React?▼

Use React Hook Form with Zod to centralize error handling. Zod validates input against your schema and returns typed errors; React Hook Form surfaces these in the form state. Map server errors back to your schema structure for consistent error display across client and server boundaries.

Can I use React Hook Form with TypeScript without manual type definitions?▼

Yes. When you combine React Hook Form with Zod and zodResolver, z.infer automatically generates TypeScript types from your Zod schema. This eliminates manual type definitions and keeps your form's type and validation logic synchronized as a single source of truth.

How do I handle dynamic form fields in React?▼

React Hook Form's useFieldArray dynamically adds and removes form fields while maintaining validation. Use field.id keys to ensure React can track each field correctly, and the Zod schema automatically validates all array elements against the same rules.

Does React Hook Form work with shadcn/ui components?▼

Yes. Integrate React Hook Form with shadcn/ui by spreading field props into Controller components. Zod validation rules work seamlessly; pair zodResolver with your schema to validate shadcn inputs and display accessible error messages without additional configuration.

What common React Hook Form and Zod mistakes should I avoid?▼

Avoid uncontrolled component warnings by setting defaultValues, use zodResolver consistently, spread field props correctly in Controller, use field.id in arrays, and handle cross-field validation with Zod refinements. Proper server error mapping and ARIA attributes prevent accessibility and validation gaps.
