SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill fixes the end-to-end form breakdowns that happen when shadcn UI Form primitives are wired incorrectly with react-hook-form and zod, causing missing validation, flickering errors, uncontrolled inputs, or broken submit behavior.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • End-to-end form workflow (schema → useForm → compose → submit → errors): build complete typed flows where client validation, server error mapping, and UI states work together.
  • Production-grade error handling: attach server validation failures to the correct field using setError, and keep it consistent with zod so errors don’t flicker.
  • Async validation + file upload + wizard state: implement debounced async refine checks, correctly handle file inputs via Controller and FileList, and preserve state across multi-step wizards with FormProvider.

Use case: You need a sign-up form that validates email format, performs async “email available” checks without flicker, shows server errors on the specific field, disables the submit button while submitting, and resets on success.

Quick Start

Use this skill to wire a shadcn UI sign-up form end-to-end with zodResolver, proper FormField composition, async email availability validation, server setError mapping, and a reset-on-success submit handler.

Frequently Asked Questions about shadcn-impl-form-validation

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I wire shadcn UI form validation with react-hook-form and zod?▼

Zod handles client-side schema validation while react-hook-form manages input state, and server errors are mapped to specific fields using the setError method to ensure consistent error display without flickering during submit flows.

How do I map server validation errors to specific fields in a shadcn UI form?▼

You can implement debounced async validation checks, such as email availability, directly within your zod schema or react-hook-form resolver to prevent UI flicker while waiting for server responses during user input.

How do I handle file uploads in react-hook-form with shadcn UI components?▼

Handle file uploads in react-hook-form by wrapping the shadcn UI file input with the Controller component, accessing the FileList object directly to manage controlled state since standard register methods do not support file input types natively.

How do I build a multi-step wizard form using shadcn UI and react-hook-form?▼

Build a multi-step wizard by initializing useForm at the parent level and wrapping your steps in FormProvider, then access the shared form state and validation inside each step component using the useFormContext hook to preserve data across navigation.

Why are my shadcn UI form inputs switching from uncontrolled to controlled?▼

Shadcn UI form inputs switch from uncontrolled to controlled when defaultValues are not provided for every key defined in your zod schema, causing react-hook-form to initialize fields with undefined values and triggering an uncontrolled input warning.
