This course focuses on Formik, a JavaScript library for building forms in React. The ability to handle form data is crucial in modern web development, and Formik simplifies the process by allowing you to create forms with less code. You'll learn how to leverage Formik to create complex and straightforward forms with ease.

You'll start with the basics of Formik and gradually work your way up to more advanced topics. You'll learn how to create form fields, handle validation, manage form states, and submit forms. You'll also learn how to use Formik with other popular libraries like Yup for more advanced validation scenarios. 

By the end of this course, you'll be able to create robust and scalable forms in React using Formik. You'll have a deep understanding of how to manage form states, handle form submissions, and validate user input. Data collection is a key element in information technology and will enable you to build better, more organized forms with less code.

Writing React Forms Like a Pro with Formik

It uses the `name` attribute of the field.

It checks the `touched` object to see if the field has been visited.

How does the `formik.handleChange` method identify the field that called it?

<p>How does the <code>formik.handleChange</code> method identify the field that called it?</p>


```
<input type="text" id="email" {formik.getFieldProps("email")} />
```

```
<input type="text" id="email">
   {formik.getFieldProps("email")}
</input>
```

```
<input type="text" id="email" fieldProps={formik.getFieldProps("email")} />
```

```
<input type="text" id="email" {...formik.getFieldProps("email")} />
```

Given the following input field:

```
<input
  type="text"
  id="email"
  name="email"
  onChange={formik.handleChange}
  onBlur={formik.handleBlur}
  value={formik.values.email}
/>
```

Which is the correct way to rewrite this field using the `formik.getFieldProps` method?


<p>Given the following input field:</p>
<pre><code>&lt;input
  type=&quot;text&quot;
  id=&quot;email&quot;
  name=&quot;email&quot;
  onChange={formik.handleChange}
  onBlur={formik.handleBlur}
  value={formik.values.email}

A company needs to collect some information about their different branch offices. They create a form with the `initialValues` above. Which is the correct way to access the `numberOfStaffs` for any of the branches?

<pre><code>const initialValues = {

The `push` method pushes an item to an index in an array while `insert` inserts the item at the end of the array.

The `push` method receives one argument, while `insert` receives no argument.

The `push` method adds an item to the end of an array, while `insert` places an item at a specified index in the array.

The `insert` method is used in forms, while `push` is not.

The `FieldArray` component gives us access to different array helper methods. Two of them are `insert` and `push`. What is the difference between these two?

<p>The <code>FieldArray</code> component gives us access to different array helper methods. Two of them are <code>insert</code> and <code>push</code>. What is the difference between these two?</p>
