“React Form is alive again!” A post-mortem undone.

React Form has had a rocky past with me. After personally deprecating it, handing it off to a new maintainer, and watching it slowly die, I have again decided to give it a new life.

I am currently developing React Form 4.0.0 as a sub 10k LOC React Hook to manage form state.

I know there are a lot of other form libraries out there, even ones’ that use hooks. But, I hope that my past experience with API and library design will entice you to try it out.

At time of writing, React Form 4.0.0 is in an alpha state. Use at your own risk!

Welcome back React Form!
