SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Building complex, reliable forms with strong typing and consistent validation across React apps is tedious and error-prone.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Full form state machine with useForm for predictable behavior
  • Field-level and form-level validation (sync/async) with adapters for Zod, Valibot, and Yup
  • Array fields, linked/dependent fields, and fine-grained reactivity for dynamic forms
  • Real-world scenario: multi-step forms with conditional sections validated against schemas

Quick Start

Create a form with useForm, add fields and validators, and handle submission.

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

Type-safe forms in React are built using a complete form state machine with field-level and form-level validation. This approach supports schema-backed validation through adapters for Zod, Valibot, and Yup, ensuring deterministic submission flows and scalable form experiences.

What is the best way to manage dynamic array fields and dependent fields in React forms?

Managing dynamic array fields and linked fields in React forms requires fine-grained reactivity within a complete form state machine. This setup allows complex forms with conditional sections to maintain type safety and consistent validation across dependent inputs.

Can I use Zod, Valibot, or Yup for async validation in a TypeScript form state machine?

Yes, TypeScript form state machines can use Zod, Valibot, and Yup for both synchronous and asynchronous validation. Schema adapters enforce validation rules at the field and form levels, ensuring robust type safety and deterministic submission flows.

How do I handle multi-step forms with conditional sections validated against schemas?

Multi-step forms with conditional sections are handled by leveraging a complete form state machine with fine-grained reactivity. Schema-backed validation ensures each conditional section maintains type safety and deterministic submission flows throughout the user journey.

Why does building complex forms with strong typing in React often become error-prone?

Building complex forms with strong typing in React becomes error-prone without a complete form state machine. Manually managing validation, array fields, and linked fields leads to inconsistent behavior, which schema-backed validation and deterministic submission flows solve.
