7 Form Components For React Hook Form I Always Use

Introduction

Building forms with validation is tedious and repetitive. So my friend and I created a library of form input components so we can just copy the code in every code base, styled minimally with all error validation message using Tailwind CSS and react-icons.

I'm open for all suggestions and contributions to improve 🚀. Open a PR on the repository (available on the demo website) or email me at me@theodorusclarence.com

Yup Demo

I also made a validation using Yup, you can access it on https://rhf.thcl.dev/yup along with the source code.

Setup

1. Install these dependencies

yarn add react-hook-form @tailwindcss/forms react-icons
 
optional
 
yarn add react-datepicker react-dropzone react-select

2. Configure tailwind.config.js to use @tailwindcss/forms

// tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
  theme: {
    // ...
  },
  plugins: [
    require('@tailwindcss/forms'),
    // ...
  ],
};

3. Form Structure

This is the default boilerplate, then you can insert the components inside the form

import { FormProvider, useForm } from 'react-hook-form';
 
export default function Page() {
  const methods = useForm();
  const { handleSubmit } = methods;
 
  return (
    <>
      <FormProvider {...methods}>
        <form onSubmit={handleSubmit(onSubmit)}>Inputs Here</form>
      </FormProvider>
    </>
  );
}
