SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps developers build robust, type-safe forms using React Hook Form v7 and Zod v4, enabling shared client/server validation to reduce runtime errors and ensure consistent data contracts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Client-side form management with useForm, Controller, and dynamic fields via useFieldArray, powered by a single Zod schema that can be inferred to TypeScript types.
  • Shared validation across client and server through z.infer and zodResolver, ensuring end-to-end data integrity.
  • Common patterns include login forms, multi-step wizards, and dynamic surveys with strong type safety and clear error mapping.

Quick Start

Create a login form with email and password fields validated by a shared Zod schema using React Hook Form on both client and server.

FAQPage Schema
How do I share form validation logic between client and server using React Hook Form?

To share form validation logic between client and server, define a single Zod schema and pass it to React Hook Form via zodResolver. This ensures end-to-end data integrity by enforcing identical validation rules on both the browser and server.

What is the best way to infer TypeScript types from a Zod schema for React forms?

Inferring TypeScript types from a Zod schema requires using the z.infer utility on your defined validation schema. This automatically generates matching TypeScript interfaces for your React Hook Form inputs, eliminating manual type definitions.

How do I handle dynamic field arrays in React Hook Form with Zod validation?

To handle dynamic field arrays with Zod validation, use the useFieldArray hook from React Hook Form alongside your Zod schema. This allows you to manage dynamic survey fields while maintaining strict type safety and clear error mapping.

Can I build a multi-step wizard form with React Hook Form v7 and Zod v4?

You can build multi-step wizard forms by combining React Hook Form v7 and Zod v4 schemas. This approach allows you to validate individual wizard steps independently while preserving a unified, type-safe data contract across the entire flow.

Does zodResolver work with Zod v4 and React Hook Form for type-safe forms?

Yes, zodResolver bridges Zod v4 and React Hook Form v7 to create type-safe forms. It unifies your client and server schemas, allowing the form to automatically parse validation errors and map them to the correct input fields.
