Introduction: Working with Forms

Overview

Forms are an important topic because they are extremely common in the apps we build. In this chapter, we’ll learn how to build forms using React-controlled components and discover that there is a fair amount of boilerplate code involved. We will use a popular library to reduce the boilerplate code. This will also help us to build several forms in our app.

Client-side validation is critical to the user experience of the forms we build, so we’ll cover this topic in a fair amount of depth. We will also cover how to submit forms.
